5.02 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite GRS certified Padparadscha sapphire, weighing 5.02 carat, presents a rare and romantic heart shape that makes an immediate emotional impression. Measuring 10.34 x 12.01 x 4.72 mm, the stone is transparent and cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth of color. The intense color intensity, a delicate and much sought after balance between pink and orange, is characteristic of fine Padparadscha material from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and contributes directly to its premium valuation. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, which to an educated buyer means that the gem appears essentially clean to the naked eye, with only minute internal features that are typically only revealed under magnification. The excellent polish enhances light return and surface finish, while the controlled heat treatment used to stabilize and improve the color is a widely accepted enhancement in the trade that does not compromise the natural origin or long term stability of the sapphire.

For the buyer seeking an extraordinary gift, this Padparadscha heart is both a statement of luxury and a meaningful symbol. Padparadscha sapphires are among the rarest of corundum, and one of this size, color intensity, and transparency from Ceylon is particularly uncommon, making it a compelling choice for an engagement gem, milestone anniversary present, or a once in a lifetime celebratory gift. The GRS certification included with this gem provides independent verification of identity, origin and treatment, which is essential for confidence in provenance and for maintaining value over time. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize both gemological integrity and artisanal presentation, and this heart shaped Padparadscha exemplifies that commitment. Its combination of exceptional color, precise cutting, eye clean appearance, and durable corundum hardness ensures beauty and wearability for everyday elegance, turning a thoughtful gift into a treasured heirloom.
