0.68 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a gem that stands in a league of its own, our exquisite padparadscha sapphire offers a blend of distinct characteristics that elevate it above other gemstones on the market. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to present this beautiful transparent 0.68 carat padparadscha sapphire, a gem that charms with its unique dimensions of 8.15 x 4.18 x 2.50 mm. While there are many sapphires available, the rarity of padparadscha sapphires in such a fancy shape and prized color make this piece a true treasure. Originating from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, this sapphire benefits from the rich history and tradition of one of the world's most renowned gemstone sources.

The sapphire's medium intense color intensity exudes a warm mix of pink and orange hues, reminiscent of a delicate sunset. It is this coveted coloration that distinguishes padparadscha sapphires from other gemstones, including its sapphire cousins. Many gems may claim exoticness, yet few surpass the captivating allure of this sapphire's unique color palette. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we ensure that each gem is enhanced to reveal its fullest potential, and with an excellent polish, this sapphire gleams brilliantly under any light. Thus, it not only stands out in a collection but becomes a focal point for conversation and admiration.

Moreover, its step cut often compared with the iconic emerald cut, emphasizes a symmetry that further highlights its elegance and luxury. This precision of cutting enhances the gem’s natural luminous quality, allowing it to refract light beautifully, which is central to its eye-catching appeal. A step cut padparadscha sapphire like this is a rarity in itself, crafted to emphasize its stunning linear facets and flat planes. This shape and cut make it more desirable than more common oval or round sapphires, particularly for those looking to invest in something both modern and enduring.

Another layer of its uniqueness is found in its clarity. Graded as slightly included, this sapphire reveals its character through subtle inclusions. Much like the beauty of a snowflake lies in its unique pattern, the slight inclusions add authenticity and personality to the sapphire. This sets our gem apart from those advertised as artificially flawless yet lacking warmth and genuine beauty. At The Natural Sapphire Company, each inclusion is not a flaw but rather a testament to the sapphire's natural and historical journey from deep within the earth.

Padparadscha sapphires are already known for their rarity, but sourcing one from Sri Lanka adds an exclusive appeal. It is from the same provenance responsible for some of the world's most sought-after sapphires. The geopolitical and geographical conditions of Ceylon provide these sapphires with unrivaled quality and distinctiveness. Unlike other unnamed origins that can suffer from inconsistent grading and valuation practices, a truly premium stone originates from a verified source, as this does from Sri Lanka. Let The Natural Sapphire Company guide you in appreciating not just the gemstone’s intrinsic characteristics but its prestigious lineage and the storied embrace it earns within the most discerning gemstone collections around the globe.
