4.15 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite cushion shaped pink sapphire presents an exceptional balance of size, color, and craftsmanship, making it an outstanding choice for an engagement gem. Weighing 4.15 carats, and measuring 9.34 by 7.91 by 6.11 mm, this stone offers a commanding presence on the finger without feeling overly large. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting style that enhances both scintillation and depth, while an excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and lively light return. The sapphire displays an intense color intensity, a vivid and highly desirable pink tone that remains consistent across the stone, and the overall transparency is bright and attractive. Originated in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the reputation of one of the most respected sapphire sources in the world, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its provenance and detailed description.

From a technical grading perspective, this sapphire is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level. Slightly included means that the stone contains minor natural characteristics that are visible under careful observation with the naked eye, but these inclusions do not materially affect the gem s structural integrity or its brilliance. For an educated buyer, inclusions are not a defect, rather they are an assurance of natural origin, and in this particular stone the inclusions are modest and well positioned so they do not interrupt the visual impact of the intense pink color. The mixed brilliant cut is particularly effective at masking inclusions because of the way its pavilion and crown facets scatter light, creating a dynamic appearance. The excellent polish further contributes to the gem s sparkle and allows the intense color to read strongly in a variety of lighting conditions.

This pink sapphire is an ideal engagement option for several reasons, beginning with durability. Sapphires rate a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, making them an excellent choice for daily wear such as a ring that will be worn every day. The depth and proportions of this cushion cut are well suited to a variety of settings, from a classic four prong solitaire that emphasizes the stone s pure color and form, to halo settings that add brilliance and visual emphasis while maintaining an elegant silhouette. Metal choices will subtly influence the perceived color, with rose gold complementing the pink tone for a warm, romantic look, yellow gold enriching the saturation, and platinum offering a cooler, contemporary contrast that highlights the stone s clarity and sparkle. At 4.15 carats the sapphire has substantial presence, and its measurements give a slightly larger visible face up area than many stones of similar weight, which is an important consideration for buyers seeking impact without sacrificing proportion.

Transparency about treatments and origin is central to value and trust, and it is important to note that this sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity in natural sapphires. Heat treatment is a standard industry practice, particularly for stones from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it is permanent when performed properly. The combination of Ceylon origin and heat treatment typically yields a refined, vivid pink tone that appeals to sophisticated buyers who value natural origin and controlled enhancement. At The Natural Sapphire Company we provide full disclosure of treatment and origin, and we can arrange independent gemological grading upon request for added assurance. We also offer advice on mounting, care, and insurance, and we recommend routine cleaning with warm soapy water and gentle brushing, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes to preserve the stone s polish and color.

For buyers considering this piece as an engagement gem, the balance of size, intense color, and durable material makes it an excellent alternative to diamond for a meaningful symbol of commitment. The cushion silhouette offers a timeless, romantic aesthetic, while the mixed brilliant faceting ensures that the stone performs beautifully in daylight and evening illumination.
