2.12 carat cushion-cut purplish pink sapphire, heat-treated, measuring 8.42 × 6.94 × 4.06 mm, from Sri Lanka. Purplish-pink sapphire sits in the hue zone where pink and purple meet — warmer than violet, more complex than pure pink. Accompanied by GIA Report #1232836232, a Sapphire Origin Report confirming weight, dimensions, color, transparency, treatment, and geographic origin (Sri Lanka).
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"This 2.12 ct cushion sapphire sits right at the hue boundary between pink and purple — a genuine bi-hue purplish pink, warmer than violet and more complex than straight pink. With GIA confirming both the color call and Ceylon origin on a single Origin Report, it's an unusually well-documented example of this in-between color."
Rarity Analysis
-
Hue-boundary color: This is a purplish pink sapphire — sitting where pink shifts toward purple/violet. Most pink sapphire on the market leans toward a purer, more straightforward pink; this warmer, bi-hue tone is a less commonly seen position on the color spectrum.
-
GIA-confirmed Ceylon origin: The accompanying GIA report is a Sapphire Origin Report — meaning GIA has specifically laboratory-confirmed Sri Lanka (Ceylon) as the source. Not every sapphire on the market carries origin-specific documentation of this kind.
-
Size: At 2.12 carats, this cushion sapphire is a substantial, easily-appreciated stone rather than a small accent size.
-
Clarity, honestly: We assess this stone as having inclusions visible under 10×. It is a transparent stone with some visible internal character — not a flawless gem, and we're not presenting it as one.
-
Documentation depth: A GIA Sapphire Origin Report covers weight, dimensions, color, transparency, treatment, and geographic origin in a single document — a more comprehensive record than a basic identification report.
-
Combined effect: Individually, the hue-boundary color, confirmed origin, size, and documentation each add up to something above an ordinary pink sapphire. Heat treatment — standard practice for the great majority of pink and purplish pink sapphire on the market — is disclosed here and isn't a rarity factor in itself, but everything else about this stone is what sets it apart from typical market material.
Buying Guidance
-
View it in different lighting: Because this stone sits at the pink-to-purple hue boundary, its exact color character can read differently indoors under warm light versus outdoors in daylight. Ask to see it (or photos/video of it) in more than one lighting environment to see where it lands on the spectrum for you.
-
Heat treatment is standard and disclosed: This sapphire is heat-treated — the standard, widely accepted treatment for pink and purplish pink sapphire — and it's disclosed clearly on the GIA report. This is normal for the category, not something to work around.
-
Compare origin documentation, not just claims: When comparison shopping, check whether a seller's stone has a report that specifically confirms geographic origin, not only weight and color. GIA-confirmed Ceylon origin is a meaningfully higher bar than an undocumented "Ceylon" claim.
-
Set clarity expectations: With inclusions visible under 10× — our own assessment, not a GIA grade — expect a transparent stone with some visible internal character rather than a flawless one; keep this in mind when reviewing photos or requesting additional images.
-
Try Before You Buy: Request additional photos or video in different lighting before you purchase, or ask about Crescent Gems' Try-On program, so you can confirm this stone's color and character are exactly what you want.
