1.10 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.10 carat pear shape padparadscha sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare and refined example of what discerning collectors seek, with dimensions of 8.71 x 4.81 x 3.46 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. Compared to typical pink sapphires or orange sapphires on the market, this padparadscha presents a uniquely balanced salmon to sunset hue that is difficult to find in natural stones, making it instantly more desirable and valuable. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light, adding scintillation and fire that make the stone read larger on the finger than its carat weight alone might suggest, and the excellent polish ensures every facet edge catches light with crisp, lively sparkle. Clarity is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which is common for natural stones of this rarity and does not detract from the gem's overall presence, especially given the intense color and exceptional cutting quality.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize sourcing and cutting that bring out the best in each stone, and this padparadscha is a case in point, heat treated to stabilize and enhance its alluring tone in a way that is industry standard and fully disclosed. When compared to lower grade or commercial sapphires, this gem offers superior color saturation and a level of craftsmanship in the cut that turns the piece into a centerpiece for any jewelry collection, whether set as a classic solitaire, a modern halo, or a vintage inspired pendant. The Sri Lankan origin contributes to the stone's pedigree, as Ceylon padparadscha sapphires are renowned for their delicate yet vivid color, and this example stands above many lab grown or heavily included alternatives that compromise on natural beauty and resale value. If you are choosing a stone for an heirloom ring or a striking pendant, this pear shape padparadscha will deliver exceptional visual impact, rarity, and long term value, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with setting recommendations that enhance the pear shape silhouette while protecting the point and showcasing the gem as the radiant focal point it deserves to be.
