3.35 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a distinctive center stone that blends romantic color, classic form, and collector appeal, this transparent 3.35 carat cushion pink sapphire from Ceylon answers that brief beautifully. At 9.74 by 6.91 by 5.09 millimeters with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem sits squarely in the sweet spot between wearable size and real presence, offering a substantial look without overwhelming the finger. Its medium intense pink tone is alluring and versatile, and the clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so what you see with your unaided eye is an eye-clean, lively stone. The excellent polish and careful cutting allow each facet to reflect light with lively scintillation, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that brings out the best of its natural color and transparency. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate stones with provenance and character, and this Sri Lankan sapphire brings the classic Ceylon charm that collectors and brides often seek.

Beyond the numbers, this cushion shape gem is designed to translate its pink hue into real emotion when set. The mixed brilliant cut combines the soft, pillow-like silhouette of a cushion with the light performance of brilliant facets, so the stone reads as both romantic and sparkling. Medium intense color intensity means the pink is clear and present without being overly dark or too pastel; it sits in a beautiful middle ground that allows light to travel through the stone, creating internal flashes of pink and lighter pink highlights. The very very slightly included clarity grade means inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the visual purity of the gem at normal viewing distances, which is especially important in faceted stones where clean light return creates that luxurious glow. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and mirror-like surfaces, enhancing brilliance, while its Sri Lankan origin contributes subtle character in hue and saturation that is highly prized by connoisseurs.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of a pink sapphire like this is how adaptable its color is to different skin tones and metal choices, and how those choices let you customize the emotional and visual effect. On cool, fair skin tones with blue or pink undertones, this medium intense pink reads as a fresh, almost dewy color, and a white metal setting such as platinum or white gold will emphasize the cooler, more candy-like side of the stone, creating a modern, crisp look. For warm undertones, such as golden or olive complexions, pairing the sapphire with rose gold or yellow gold will enrich the stone’s warmer facets, coaxing out peach or coral nuances and producing a sunkissed, harmonious effect. For medium or neutral skin tones, the cushion’s balanced saturation complements the skin and offers a flattering yet distinct focal point. On deeper and richly pigmented skin tones the contrast is dramatic and breathtaking; the medium intense pink pops with vivid energy and becomes a striking statement piece. The way color reads can also be influenced by surrounding stones and setting choices: a halo of white diamonds will magnify perceived brilliance and color saturation, while side stones in lighter pink sapphires or champagne diamonds can create a tonal necklace-like flow. A delicate bezel can modernize the look and protect the girdle while softly framing the pink, and prongs will allow more light to pass through for maximum fire.

If your priority is an engagement ring that feels personal and enduring, or a rare addition to a fine gemstone collection, this cushion pink sapphire solves both needs elegantly. At 3.35 carats the gem has enough weight to create presence and heritage appeal, yet the cushion silhouette is classic and wearable every day. Because it is eye-clean and well polished, it presents exceptionally well in solitaire designs where the stone is the undisputed star, or it can be set into more intricate designs with diamond halos or vintage-inspired shoulders for added romance. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance of this stone and can guide you through metal and setting choices to ensure the color reads exactly as you wish against your personal coloring. We can also recommend complementary stones for side settings or matching pieces for a coordinated suite, and we provide hands-on advice about how heat treatment affects long-term care and stability so you feel confident in everyday wear.
