2.55 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent padparadscha sapphire from Ceylon embodies a lineage that stretches back through centuries of gem lore, a jewel that carries with it the storied elegance of Sri Lankan mines and the timeless appeal of classical design. Weighing 2.55 carats and fashioned into a refined oval shape with dimensions of 8.90 x 8.07 x 4.20 mm, this stone displays a delicate, light color intensity that reads as a soft blush between pink and peach, a hue long admired for its romantic subtlety. The mixed brilliant cut brings scintillation and a balanced spread of light, while an excellent polish enhances the stone surface to a mirror like finish. The clarity grade is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a trait that verifies natural character without distracting from the gems serene transparency. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, an unaltered testament to nature, a quality that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who prize authenticity and provenance.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate the heritage of classic jewelry forms and the way a single fine gem can become an enduring family heirloom. This padparadscha is especially well suited to designs that honor tradition while offering modern wearability. Consider it set as a solitaire engagement ring to showcase the oval silhouette and delicate color, or surrounded by a halo of warm champagne diamonds to amplify its vintage charm. For those who favor historical styles a filigree or milgrain vintage mount in rose gold will echo the sapphires warm tones, while a platinum or white gold setting will offer a crisp, archival contrast that highlights the stones clarity and brilliance.

The versatility of this sapphire makes it ideal for bespoke commissions, allowing for a variety of settings and wearable forms. It adapts gracefully to bezel and prong mounts, to three stone and trilogy motifs that celebrate past present and future, and to pendant and earring designs that carry the gem close to the heart. Custom combinations such as mixed metal bands, split shanks, or a subtle pavé shoulder can be tailored to personal taste and family tradition, ensuring the finished piece becomes a cherished keepsake. For clients seeking a jewel that honours history, embodies refinement, and offers endless customization possibilities, this Ceylon padparadscha from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a rare and timeless choice.
