1.09 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.09 carat oval peach sapphire is a finely proportioned gem, measuring 6.61 x 5.19 x 4.07 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation with overall brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut uses a brilliant faceted crown and a carefully faceted pavilion to direct light efficiently, producing lively flash and a soft luminous body color. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very slightly included, an attractive designation for a natural sapphire that indicates minor internal features visible only under magnification or on close inspection, and these inclusions do not detract from the gem's aesthetic or durability. The color intensity is medium light, presenting a delicate peach hue that is subtle yet distinct, and the excellent polish enhances the stone's surface finish so light passes and reflects with clarity. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and free from enhancement, which preserves both its integrity and market value, and its provenance is Ceylon, a source renowned for producing sapphires with fine tone and appealing color nuances. The combination of carat weight, cut quality, polish, and eye level clarity makes this sapphire suitable for a variety of settings where an educated buyer will appreciate both face up presence and structural soundness.

For collectors and those seeking a gemstone that will continue to captivate over the years, this Ceylon peach sapphire offers lasting appeal because of its natural color stability, robust hardness, and classic oval proportions that remain timeless in jewelry design. The medium light peach tone is versatile, pairing beautifully with warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold for a vintage look, or with rose gold to harmonize with the stone's peach undertones, and its durability, characteristic of corundum, ensures everyday wearability with proper care. As an unheated, natural sapphire from Sri Lanka, it carries a premium of provenance and authenticity that informed buyers value, and its very slightly included clarity means the stone maintains natural character without compromising brilliance. When viewed under different lighting conditions, the mixed brilliant cut continues to reward the observer with flashes and a soft glow, a quality that will make settings look fresh season after season.
