1.53 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine presenting a moment that will be remembered for a lifetime, a piece that captures the warmth of a sunset and the softness of a blush, held gently in a setting of your own design. This is that moment, embodied in one beautiful transparent 1.53 carat asscher octagon shape padparadscha sapphire sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem that speaks in a voice both rare and familiar. With precise dimensions of 7.10 x 6.28 x 3.33 mm this sapphire is an ideal candidate for thoughtful custom work, the kind of stone that not only fits into a ring or pendant but inspires the entire design. The asscher cut sharpens its architectural elegance, the faceted octagon silhouette lending an air of vintage glamour while remaining resolutely modern. Heat treated to enhance its natural charm, this gem carries a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, details that mean your jeweller will have a perfectly behaved, luminous material to set and frame.

Consider the ways its size and shape translate into wearable art, how 7.10 x 6.28 mm sits on a finger with presence but without overwhelm, how 3.33 mm depth yields a comfortable profile that plays well with bezel settings, low prongs, or elegant gallery work. The asscher cut brings stepped facets and a pavilion geometry that throws light like a slow dance, offering flashes of depth and windowed clarity that reward close observation and everyday wear. For an engagement ring this padparadscha sapphire will deliver distinct personality whether set as a solitary star or embraced by a halo of diamonds, and for a pendant its balanced octagon silhouette will lay flat against the skin, reflecting light with a refined, symmetrical rhythm. Custom earring designs benefit from matched pairs or delicate asymmetry, and the gem is sized perfectly to anchor a stackable ring set or to be the centerpiece in a bespoke cluster piece. Its proportions make it straightforward to design around, whether you prefer contemporary minimalism or ornate filigree, giving you freedom to design with confidence and to produce a piece that sits comfortably in both the everyday and the extraordinary.

Color and clarity are the emotional heart of this stone, the medium intense color intensity offering a sincere bridge between pink and salmon tones that padparadscha sapphires are cherished for. This hue evokes sunrise, the tender blush of a promise, an emotional palette that translates into jewelry that feels like an embrace. The transparency and eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level mean that when set, the sapphire will read clearly and beautifully to the viewer, without distracting inclusions, allowing the warmth of its tone to command attention. The excellent polish on every facet ensures that the light returns with a clean, glassy sparkle, enhancing both the padparadscha hue and the asscher cut geometry. Origin matters to collectors and dreamers alike, and this Ceylon Sri Lanka provenance carries the legacy of storied mines that have produced some of the world most loved sapphires, a provenance that adds narrative to your custom piece. Heat treatment is a common and stable enhancement that brings out the best in natural sapphires while preserving their integrity, and here it has been applied to accentuate the stone natural character without overpowering its innate personality.
