3.02 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a gentle thrill that comes with discovering a gem that seems to have been made to mark a single perfect moment, a jewel that will carry a memory for a lifetime, and this is precisely the feeling this 3.02 carat cushion shape pinkish purple sapphire invites. Hand sourced and proudly presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this transparent sapphire measures 8.13 by 6.07 by 6.18 mm, a size that sits beautifully on the hand and commands attention without overwhelming. Its medium color intensity bathes the stone in a soft, romantic hue that whispers of dawn and twilight, a pinkish purple that shifts with the light and with the wearer, creating a private glow that seems to respond to love itself. Stunning in color and presence, this sapphire is completely natural, with no enhancement, originating from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place synonymous with sapphires that tell a story of ancient earth and refined craftsmanship.

The heart of this gem is its extraordinary cut and polish, a mixed brilliant cut that marries scintillating fire with lively brilliance, making it a vivid centerpiece for any collection. Each facet has been carefully proportioned to the cushion shape, creating a harmonious interplay between broad flashes of light and delicate pinpricks of sparkle, a dance that feels both elegant and joyful. The excellent polish ensures that every facet edge catches the light with crisp clarity, allowing the sapphire to sing with life whether it is set in a ring, a pendant, or a pair of bespoke earrings. Slightly included at eye level, the clarity grade speaks to the authenticity of a natural stone, inclusions that are gentle reminders of the gem origin and that do not detract from the face up beauty. In natural light the stone radiates a soft luminosity, in candlelight it becomes an intimate beacon, and under the bright glare of a city night it transforms into a bold, unforgettable focal point, a gem that adapts to every stage of life and every moment of celebration.

Imagine presenting this sapphire as a promise, a celebration, a pledge of devotion, or a reward for personal achievement, watching the recipient lift it into the light and smile as the mixed brilliant cut throws off ribbons of color and sparkles. Set in a delicate halo to accentuate the cushion silhouette, or set alone to let the cut and color speak plainly, this sapphire will anchor designs with its refined proportions and natural allure. Because it is unenhanced, with no treatment, and traced to Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it offers provenance and integrity that deepen the emotional value of the piece, transforming a beautiful stone into an heirloom that will be loved and handed down. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how the right gemstone can hold a lifetime of feeling, and we are honored to help you carry forward that joy. This 3.02 carat cushion pinkish purple sapphire is not merely an accessory, it is a centerpiece, a luminous testament to beauty, care, and the stories that only the finest natural gems can tell.
