2.21 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape padparadscha sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a 2.21 carat, transparent gemstone, measuring 9.52 by 6.18 by 4.89 mm. It is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, finished with an excellent polish, and graded at very very slightly included for clarity when evaluated at eye level. The stone exhibits a vivid color intensity, a delicate balance of pink and orange that is characteristic of fine padparadscha material from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves tone and clarity while preserving the gem's inherent structure and long term durability.

Over the years this padparadscha will continue to captivate because of its combination of color stability, hardness, and refined cutting. Sapphires rate high on the Mohs scale, offering resistance to everyday wear and maintaining polish and facet integrity with normal care, while the vivid hue and transparent body color allow lively light return and scintillation that remain apparent under a variety of lighting conditions. The mixed brilliant cut enhances fire and face up brilliance, and the pear shape presents a timeless silhouette suitable for a range of settings. As with all natural sapphires from The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is accompanied by transparent documentation of origin and treatment history when requested, supporting both aesthetic appreciation and long term confidence in the stone. With routine care and occasional professional cleaning, this padparadscha sapphire will preserve its radiance and remain a compelling center stone for decades.
