1.36 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite padparadscha sapphire is a rare find, a transparent pear shaped gem weighing 1.36 carats, with elegant proportions of 9.01 by 5.99 by 3.67 mm that give it an unmistakable presence while remaining perfectly wearable. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this natural sapphire arrives to you with no enhancement, an increasingly uncommon quality that collectors and connoisseurs prize. The cutter has chosen a faceted mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation and depth, and an excellent polish that allows light to travel freely through the stone, producing a soft, warm glow that is unique to padparadscha hues. Graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone retains exceptional transparency, and those minor natural characteristics serve as a fingerprint of authenticity rather than a detractor from its beauty. The light color intensity is delicate and refined, imparting a romantic, vintage allure that few other gems can match.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate pieces of distinction, and this 1.36 carat pear padparadscha is the kind of gemstone that defines a collection, the sort of jewel that reads as a statement without shouting. Its dimensions and clarity combine to make it ideal for a centerpiece ring or a solitary pendant, where the pear silhouette elongates the hand and the mixed brilliant cut amplifies the stone’s inner fire. Because it is untreated and from classic Ceylon, it appeals to discerning buyers who treasure provenance and natural beauty, and because such stones are rarely available, owning this gem places you in an exclusive circle of collectors who understand subtlety and rarity. Whether set in a modern open prong to maximize light, or embraced by a custom halo to enhance presence, this padparadscha will become the focal point of any bespoke design, a conversation piece that is as personal as it is prestigious. For those seeking an heirloom quality sapphire with refined size, genuine sparkle, and documented origin, this gem is an invitation to create something singular with The Natural Sapphire Company, and to claim a jewel whose scarcity and elegance will endure.
