1.09 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.09 carat asscher octagon shape peach sapphire, measuring 6.15 by 5.19 by 3.32 mm, presents a harmonious balance of proportion and light performance. The asscher cut yields a stepped facet arrangement that emphasizes clarity and internal symmetry, and this stone is graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal visible features under normal viewing conditions. The sapphire exhibits medium color intensity, offering a refined peach tone that reads as both warm and subtle, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a bright surface finish. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and enhanced by controlled heat treatment, this sapphire benefits from a stabilized hue modification that is standard practice within the trade, applied to enhance color uniformity while maintaining the stone's natural characteristics. The combination of precise cutting, measured proportions, and careful finishing reflects the quality standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company.

Over time this sapphire will continue to captivate through its inherent durability and consistent optical properties. Sapphire rates high on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means its facets are resistant to abrasion and will retain their polish under normal wear, preserving the clean facet planes and the integrity of the asscher step pattern. The medium intensity peach coloration, set by heat treatment, is stable under typical exposure to light and household conditions, and the stone will maintain its tonal balance rather than fading or shifting unpredictably. The asscher cut in particular lends a timeless, architectural appeal, with step facets that reveal internal characteristics in a way that evolves subtly with changing light and viewing angles, providing enduring visual interest. Whether set for daily wear or reserved for special occasions, this 1.09 carat peach sapphire will remain a refined and lasting expression of natural beauty, presented with the documentation and provenance that The Natural Sapphire Company provides.
