1.67 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a signature stone that ends your quest for the perfect engagement ring or a rare collectible that will stand out in any collection, this transparent 1.67 carat round padparadscha sapphire is the answer. Its dimensions are 6.72 by 6.65 by 4.86 millimeters, and the mixed brilliant cut is designed to maximize scintillation and fire while preserving the delicate and sought after padparadscha hue. The color is intense, a balanced blend of pink and orange that reads as a true padparadscha from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye and will sparkle beautifully in any setting. The excellent polish enhances surface reflection and makes the color appear more vivid under a variety of light conditions, making this gem an ideal choice for dress rings that are worn daily or for a collector seeking a showstopper that captures both rarity and elegance. Heat treated to stabilize and enhance its natural tone, this sapphire arrives ready to be set into the design you have imagined, whether you prefer classic simplicity or a contemporary halo design.

Durability is often the primary concern for customers who want a gemstone that will endure daily wear and commemorate a lifetime of moments, and sapphires are among the hardest gemstones available. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness this sapphire rates at 9, which is second only to diamond at 10, and significantly harder than topaz at 8 and quartz at 7. That means this padparadscha will resist scratches and abrasions in normal wear far better than many other colored gemstones, giving you confidence in choosing it for an engagement ring. As representatives of The Natural Sapphire Company we pride ourselves on presenting gemstones with transparent provenance and detailed gemological information, and this Ceylon padparadscha is a fine example of our commitment to quality. If you are ready to conclude your search for a rare and durable padparadscha that balances beauty with resilience, this 1.67 carat, mixed brilliant cut sapphire from Sri Lanka is the perfect solution, and we are here to help you bring it into the jewelry design that will make it truly yours.
