0.74 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 0.74 carat oval shape peach sapphire awaits the collector who seeks subtlety paired with distinction. Measuring 6.38 x 4.80 x 3.11 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned to a mixed brilliant cut that captures and disperses light with exceptional finesse. Its clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing uninterrupted visual depth and a luminous field of pale, warm color. The color intensity is light, yielding a gentle, almost ethereal peach that sits between delicate pink and warm coral. The polish is excellent, every facet a mirror that invites attention without shouting for it. There has been no enhancement, this sapphire is entirely natural, originating from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company as a testimony to authentic provenance and uncompromising standards.

Under ambient light the gem offers a quiet but persistent brilliance, its mixed brilliant cut orchestrating a lively dance of scintillation and broad flashes of light. The crown facets draw the eye into the stone, the pavilion facets return light with a softness that accentuates the peach hue, and the overall transparency permits a clarity of tone that few pastel sapphires achieve. The light intensity being light enhances the stone with a refined translucency, allowing skin tones beneath it to enrich the perception of color rather than mute it. The excellent polish ensures that each reflection is clean and crisp, producing a delicate kaleidoscope of champagne and rose highlights that shift with movement. Set in rose gold the peach becomes incandescent, set in platinum it reads as an elegant whisper, and in either metal the stone retains a presence that is sophisticated rather than ostentatious.

When comparing its reflective qualities to other gemstones in its category, this Ceylon peach sapphire combines attributes that make it uniquely desirable. Compared with classic blue sapphires, which rely on deeper saturation to convey intensity, this peach example derives its allure from refined light return and breathy radiance, rather than from depth of color. Against padparadscha sapphires, which are prized for a vivid and rare pink orange balance, this stone is lighter and more demure, offering a soft halo of warmth instead of the vivid sunset purity associated with padparadscha. Against beryls such as morganite, which share a delicate pink to peach palette, the sapphire exhibits markedly greater brilliance and a firmer facet definition due to corundum s higher refractive index, resulting in crisper flashes and a livelier scintillation. Compared with spinel of similar hue, which can be vividly glassy, the peach sapphire shows subtler fire and a silkier sheen, the corundum structure lending a noble resilience to its reflections. Compared with tourmaline, which often displays strong pleochroism and depth of color, this sapphire performs with steadier color distribution and a more jewel like lustre. In short, its reflective personality is not simply brightness, it is a composed balance of sparkle and satin, of lively scintillation without harshness, and of color that breathes rather than overwhelms.

Owning this peach sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an assertion of curated taste, a choice for those who appreciate rarity that reveals itself slowly to the discerning eye. The absence of enhancement confirms its natural story, Ceylon Sri Lanka origins add historical and gemological provenance, and the mixed brilliant cut married to excellent polish ensures that every glance is rewarded. At 0.74 carat and with dimensions that adapt gracefully to rings, pendants, or bespoke settings, this oval gem becomes a personal emblem of achievement, an accessory that complements rather than competes. Allow us to assist in selecting the perfect setting to amplify its warmth and brilliance, and to present it to the world as a quiet declaration of refined sensibility.
