A rare opportunity to own a GIA-certified, unheated pink sapphire engagement ring of exceptional quality. At the heart of this piece is a 3.02 carat cushion cut natural sapphire from Sri Lanka — certified by the Gemological Institute of America (Report #1232891350) to show no indications of heating, the most prized designation in the sapphire world.
The center sapphire measures 9.97 x 6.55 x 4.45 mm and features a modified brilliant crown with a step-cut pavilion, delivering outstanding color depth and exceptional light return. Sri Lanka — historically known as Ceylon — is one of the world's most celebrated sapphire origins, renowned for producing stones with the soft, luminous pink hues collectors actively seek. Unheated Ceylon sapphires of this carat weight are genuinely scarce.
Flanking the center sapphire are six natural marquise-cut diamonds — three on each side — totaling 0.31 carats. Graded F color and VS clarity, these side stones are near-colorless and eye-clean, selected specifically to frame the pink sapphire without competing with it. The marquise silhouette echoes the graceful, elongated form of the cushion cut center and gives the ring a distinctly elegant, vintage-inspired character.
The ring is crafted in 14kt gold. Custom sizing is available; please contact us to discuss preferred finger size, metal color (yellow, white, or rose gold), or any setting modifications.
The vast majority of sapphires on the market — estimated at over 95% — have been heat-treated to enhance their color. An unheated natural sapphire is the gem in its pure, original state. GIA certification confirming no indications of heating is one of the most significant value factors in the colored gemstone market, sought by collectors, investors, and discerning buyers worldwide. This ring ships with the original GIA Sapphire Origin Report for complete confidence and provenance documentation.
