3.58 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.58 carat cushion shape pink sapphire from Ceylon is a rare combination of size, color, and clarity that sets it apart from many market alternatives, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it to collectors who care about provenance and quality. The gem measures 8.34 by 7.11 by 6.48 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut brings modern scintillation to a classic cushion silhouette, producing a lively, even sparkle that outperforms many standard cuts for face up presence. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this sapphire presents a rich, saturated pink that is both vivid and natural in character, without the flatness that can occur in overdone treatments. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the stone offers exceptional apparent clarity when compared to many comparable sized pink sapphires on the market that can show visible inclusions or cloudiness. The result is a gem that reads larger and cleaner to the eye, and offers an immediate impression of luxury and refinement.

When customers compare this natural Ceylon sapphire to other options, several advantages become clear. Versus lower grade or heavily included sapphires, this example delivers superior brilliance and color saturation, making it a stronger focal stone for engagement rings and signature jewelry pieces. Versus many lab grown alternatives, the natural origin from Sri Lanka gives depth of character and unique inclusions that tell a geological story, attributes prized by collectors and conscious buyers who value the authenticity of natural formation. Versus other pink gems such as spinel or tourmaline, this sapphire benefits from superior hardness and durability, rated at nine on the Mohs scale, which means it will resist daily wear and maintain its polish and faceting over time. The mixed brilliant cushion cut also offers better light return than many step cuts, producing fiery flashes and a lively table that enhances perceived size, which is an important consideration when comparing value across similar carat weights.
