1.48 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company proudly presents an exceptional gem of timeless beauty and remarkable heritage: a 1.48-carat orangy pink "Padparadscha" sapphire, a true marvel from the esteemed gem-rich island of Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka. This exquisite sapphire, with its enchanting hue and masterful craftsmanship, offers a glimpse into an ancient tradition of gemstone excellence that spans countless generations. Known for producing gemstones that have captivated royalty and collectors for centuries, the island of Ceylon gifts us this radiant gem, reflecting the mastery of its gem-crafting artisans and the natural wonder of its environment.

Defined by its elegant pear shape and precise geometric faceting, this "Padparadscha" sapphire boasts dimensions of 10.13 x 5.05 x 3.56 mm. Each facet is meticulously cut to form a mixed brilliant cut, a design that maximizes the play of light and enhances the stone's natural ability to captivate the eye. The interplay of light and gemstone is further accentuated by the gem's excellent polish, which results in a surface that shines with clarity and vibrancy. As light touches the angles of the gemstone, it dances through the stone, revealing the deep, lustrous glow of its vivid orangy-pink hue, a color synonymous with the atmospheric beauty of a Sri Lankan sunset, captured in a precious stone.

What sets this particular gem apart is its vivid color intensity and rare clarity grade, classified as very very slightly included, almost imperceptible at eye level. This clarity ensures that the gemstone remains a breathtaking testament to nature’s artistry, conveying purity and brilliance in its reflection of light. Such qualities position this "Padparadscha" sapphire not just as a centerpiece for elegant jewelry but as a revered collector's gem, a piece ideally suited for those with an appreciation for uncommon beauty and historical allure.
