1.29 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.29 carat cushion shape peach sapphire has precise dimensions of 6.82 by 5.79 by 3.74 millimeters, producing a depth of approximately 59 percent, a proportion that maintains strong face up presence while preserving internal light return. The gem is catalogued as Other certified Light Orange, with a medium color intensity that translates to a warm peach appearance, sitting on the lighter end of the orange spectrum. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant style crown with a faceted pavilion, a design choice that promotes scintillation and lively table reflections while also deepening the perceived color in the pavilion. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, presenting only minor inclusions that do not detract from brilliance, and the finish is described as excellent polish, indicating crisp facet junctions and precise symmetry. This sapphire is transparent, reported as no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing gems with attractive hues and stable performance in jewelry.

As an engagement option this sapphire balances rarity and practicality, with corundum hardness that assures durability for everyday wear, and a mixed brilliant facet architecture that yields dynamic light performance under varied lighting. At 1.29 carats the stone offers a meaningful center weight while retaining a wearable profile for slender to medium ring settings. Design strategies that showcase the cushion outline will emphasize the warm peach tone, including low profile half bezel mounts, four or six prong settings to maximize light entry, or a delicate halo to increase perceived size without diminishing the stone color. The lack of enhancement enhances long term value and collector appeal, while the Sri Lankan origin provides verifiable origin narrative for provenance focused buyers. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem for clients seeking a technically refined, visually romantic engagement center stone that pairs traditional durability with an uncommon light orange peach hue, and we can advise on ideal mounting, complementary side stone choices, and bespoke design options to best showcase the sapphire in an engagement ring.
