3.05 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent purplish pink cushion sapphire weighs 3.05 carats, and measures 7.70 x 7.34 x 5.89 mm, presenting a well balanced cushion outline that is both classic and adaptable for bespoke jewelry. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining step facets with a brilliant pavilion for controlled fire and lively scintillation. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not materially affect structural integrity or overall appearance. Color intensity is light, allowing the purplish pink hue to read as delicate and refined, while the excellent polish ensures smooth facet junctions and optimal light return. The sapphire is natural with no enhancement, and its provenance is Tanzania, a source known for producing attractive purplish pink material. Transparency and the combination of cut and polish make this piece particularly capable of reflecting light in both subdued and bright lighting conditions.

The size and cushion shape make this sapphire highly suitable for custom jewelry projects, offering versatility in both contemporary and traditional settings. At 7.70 by 7.34 mm, the stone sits comfortably as a central element in engagement rings, solitaire pendants, or as the focal point in bespoke cocktail rings, while the 5.89 mm depth provides sufficient pavilion to ensure secure setting without sacrificing optical performance. The cushion outline is conducive to both prong and bezel mounting, and the mixed brilliant facet arrangement pairs effectively with halo designs or side stone accents to amplify perceived size and brilliance. Slight inclusions can be strategically positioned away from the table or masked by setting elements, and the light color intensity responds well to warm metal choices such as rose gold to enrich the pink tones, or to platinum and white gold when a neutral backdrop is desired. As an untreated sapphire, this specimen carries the appeal of natural state material, suitable for clients who prioritize authenticity in their commissions. This stone is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it is well suited for careful bespoke design where precise dimensions, natural character, and adaptable cushion geometry are central design considerations.
