2.10 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, cradled between verdant hills and serene valleys, lies a gem that captures the essence of nature's artistry: a transparent 2.10 carat pear-shape purplish pink sapphire, a marvel of geological formation. Sri Lanka has long been celebrated as a premier source of sapphires, not only for the abundance found within its rich soil but also for the unparalleled quality that distinguishes them. This purplish pink sapphire stands as a testament to the island’s storied legacy in gemology, with its exquisite dimensions measuring 10.54 x 6.54 x 4.08 mm, each facet telling a story of its painstaking creation and journey from the heart of the Earth to the apex of luxury.

From the moment this sapphire was gently unearthed from the mineral-rich alluvial deposits of Ceylon, it embarked on a meticulous journey. The island's masterful artisanal miners, employing traditions passed down through generations, took great care to preserve the stone’s natural beauty. Unlike sapphires sourced from other regions, those from Ceylon rarely need heat treatment, thanks to their inherent clarity and vibrant color. Our sapphire boasts a clarity grade of eye clean, evaluated at eye level, ensuring that even under the scrutiny of a trained gaze, the gemstone reveals an unblemished, pure transparency that is exceedingly rare and highly coveted among collectors and connoisseurs alike.

This sapphire's journey continued as it left the skilled hands of the miners and entered a world where artistry and precision converged: the gem cutter's studio. Here, the sapphire underwent a transformation, its raw allure shaped and magnified through a mixed brilliant cut that accentuates its natural intensity. The choice of a pear shape was no accident, for it is a cut known to maximize both light return and color depth. As a result, this sapphire dazzles with an intense color intensity that seems to radiate from its core, capturing light and transforming it into breathtaking hues of purplish pink that dance across its polished surface. The excellent polish achieved by our craftspeople ensures that every facet of this sapphire interacts harmoniously with light, creating an iridescence that speaks to the precision and care so quintessential to gems from The Natural Sapphire Company.

The anatomical beauty of this remarkable sapphire is equaled only by its symbolic depth. As it transformed from a raw stone into an object of beauty and desire, it retained an intangible quality: that true gems are where art meets rarity. With its Ceylon origin, it carries the legacy of a land renowned for its gemstones, a provenance that contributes immeasurably to its intrinsic value in a competitive market. The complementary purplish pink hue, intriguingly unique, adds an element of surprise that invites admiration and speaks to the sophisticated tastes of an educated buyer who values rarity and pedigree over mere embellishment.

Choosing a gemstone, especially one crafted by The Natural Sapphire Company, extends beyond the allure of color and clarity. It seeks to create an experience, offering not just an heirloom of tangible wealth but an exquisite narrative wrapped in gemstone history. Understanding this sapphire’s journey from the Ceylon mines, through the hands of our artisans, to its final setting in a treasured piece of jewelry, propounds a story of heritage, masterful craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. To own this sapphire is to hold a piece of nature’s serenity swathed in human artistry, embodying brilliance that transcends mere adornment and becomes an enduring legacy for generations to come.
