2.20 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.20 carat padparadscha sapphire presents an exceptional combination of color, clarity, and cut, making it a compelling choice for the informed buyer. The stone is an oval shape with dimensions 8.86 x 7.20 x 3.96 mm, and it is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance with depth of color. The gem is transparent, with an intense color intensity that captures the distinctive pink to orange blossom characteristic of true padparadscha sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, assessed at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to unaided sight while retaining natural internal character that affirms its natural origin. The polish is excellent, allowing light to return with lively scintillation and reinforcing the strong hue. This sapphire has undergone routine heat treatment as a stable enhancement, a commonly accepted and fully disclosed practice that improves color and clarity without compromising long term durability. As a corundum family gem, it offers exceptional hardness and wearability, suitable for everyday jewelry settings that emphasize both beauty and longevity.
