2.30 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peach Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment these sapphires first formed beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, their story has been one of patient alchemy, geological time, and human stewardship. Deep in those storied deposits, corundum crystals grew slowly, absorbing trace elements that would one day impart their gentle peach hue. When our miners uncovered these transparent gems, each crystal carried the memory of volcanic breath and monsoon season, a quiet history written in mineral lattice and light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that history by tracing each stone back to its birthplace, ensuring that every pair we present is not only beautiful, but also responsibly sourced. These sapphires arrived at our doors as rough gifts of the earth, each weighing slightly more than a carat, waiting to be revealed as a matched pair destined for elegant settings.

The transformation from rough to refined gemstone is where craftsmanship reveals itself, and these cushion shaped peach sapphires are the result of deliberate choices by master cutters who respected the inner life of each crystal. Cut into a mixed brilliant pattern to maximize scintillation and preserve weight, they now sit at 1.14 carats and 1.16 carats respectively, with dimensions measuring 6.71 by 5.50 by 3.64 millimeters for the first, and 6.68 by 5.56 by 3.57 millimeters for the second. Their transparency allows light to travel through with little obstruction, and the excellent polish achieved on each pavilion and crown offers a mirror like finish that enhances their sparkle. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to their natural origin and authenticity, while the faint color intensity gives them a delicate peach tone that reads as refined and romantic rather than overtly vivid.

Part of the journey for these sapphires included a considered enhancement, a gentle heat treatment commonly practiced in the trade to bring forward the peach undertones and clarify internal features. This enhancement is disclosed and performed with an artisanal sensibility, never to mask, but to reveal the best possible expression of the stones. The mixed brilliant cut works in harmony with the faint color intensity, creating a play of fire and facets that makes each glance a fresh discovery. Born in Ceylon Sri Lanka, these gems carry cultural resonance as well, linked to centuries of gem tradition where sapphires have symbolized wisdom, protection, and enduring love. Owning a pair like this connects you not only to a crafted object of beauty, but also to a lineage of gem appreciation that has spanned continents and generations.
