2.12 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a blush sunrise captured and set beneath the skin of a gem, a whisper of coral and rose folded into crystal. This transparent padparadscha sapphire weighs 2.12 carats, its cushion shape measuring 7.35 by 6.00 by 5.09 mm, and it wears a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light like petals in a soft breeze. The clarity grade reads very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing purity and character to cohabit in each facet, while a medium light color intensity gives the stone an elusive, romantic glow. Polished to an excellent finish and entirely free of enhancement, this Ceylon sapphire from Sri Lanka carries the honest voice of the earth, a natural melody in pink and orange tones that feels both intimate and grand. When held, the stone seems to remember warm afternoons in old gem valleys, and when set, it promises to cast a subtle, constant light over whatever it adorns.

Beyond its immediate beauty, this padparadscha speaks quietly of investment and legacy. Untreated sapphires from Ceylon are among the most sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, and a cushion cut at 2.12 carats with no enhancements is a rare and desirable combination. As taste moves toward authentic, natural color and as supply of truly fine padparadscha remains limited, stones like this have shown a resilience in value and a tendency to appreciate over time. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish increase appeal to both jewelry designers and future buyers, and the gem s provenance lends provenance based value that often outpaces treated equivalents. At The Natural Sapphire Company we witness a steady gathering of interest in untreated colored sapphires, and we believe this padparadscha is poised to be not only an object of devotion but also a thoughtful long term holding. Choose it as an engagement treasure, an heirloom, or a quiet investment, and you will carry forward a piece of Ceylon light that may grow in worth as it gathers stories and time.
