4.11 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet majesty to gemstones that come from the ancient mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and this transparent pink sapphire is a fine example of that legacy. We present a single oval shape sapphire weighing 4.11 carats, with dimensions of 10.07 by 8.19 by 6.17 millimeters. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the proportions are designed to balance scintillation and brilliance, giving the stone a classic optical presence that has been admired across centuries. The Natural Sapphire Company has long celebrated stones like this for their connection to a lineage of connoisseurs and royal patrons who prized Ceylon sapphires for their purity and refined color. The gem is unenhanced, which means the soft, natural character of its pink hue is exactly as the earth created it, a direct note in a long and storied melody of gemstone tradition.

Under careful inspection the stone is graded as very slightly included at eye level, with a faint color intensity and an excellent polish, attributes that together make for an elegant and versatile jewel. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return, so while the color is delicate it is animated by brilliant flashes and lively reflections that read as vibrant in movement and in light. The clarity and polish allow the stone to act almost like a living lantern, the pale pink tonality taking on depth and warmth as it catches ambient and direct light. When set in a classic solitaire mount, the gem will seem to glow from within, and when embraced by a halo of small accent stones its subtle color will be amplified and will play against white metal or warm gold in distinctly different ways. This is a gemstone that stands out not by loud saturation, but by an irresistible luminous presence that complements both heritage designs and contemporary settings.

For anyone who values tradition and wishes to pass a piece through generations, this sapphire offers both historical resonance and practical beauty. It is a splendid choice for an engagement ring that favors timeless understatement, for a pendant that sits close to the heart, or for an heirloom brooch that tells a family story. Consider pairing the stone with rose gold to warm its pink radiance, with yellow gold for a vintage inspired contrast, or with platinum or white gold to emphasize its crystalline clarity and sparkle. As with all of our gems at The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is offered with transparency about origin and treatment, and with the option to see custom design sketches that highlight how the gem will perform in different settings. For a client who values legacy and the quiet confidence of genuine natural color, this Ceylon pink sapphire will not merely fit into a design, it will define it, delivering a presence that is both timeless and vibrantly alive.
