1.32 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.32 carat oval peach sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka exhibits a delicate warm hue with medium color intensity, and precise proportions of 8.96 by 5.58 by 3.38 millimeters. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, which marries a faceting scheme that maximizes scintillation with a pavilion structure that enhances depth and light return. Clarity was evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, providing excellent visual transparency and allowing the gem to read clean in everyday wear. The polish has been graded excellent, which contributes to lively surface reflection and crisp facet junctions. Importantly, this sapphire is unenhanced, a significant distinction for an educated buyer, as natural, untreated Ceylon sapphires of this tone and clarity are comparatively rare and retain premium value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize traceable origins, and the Ceylon provenance here is meaningful, as Sri Lankan sapphires are renowned for their attractive pastel and warm tones that combine strong color appeal with fine clarity.

For a custom setting this peach sapphire offers many complementary options that will enhance both color and perceived size. A halo of small white brilliant diamonds placed in a warm rose gold mounting will intensify the peach notes and create a luminous frame, while a bezel setting in yellow gold will emphasize the stone for an elegant, vintage inspired look, and a classic prong setting in platinum or white gold will provide striking contrast and maximum light entry. For accent gems, soft pink sapphires or morganite will maintain a tonal harmony, creating a gentle, monochromatic palette. For contrast, mint green tsavorite or light blue Ceylon sapphires will produce a modern complementary interplay, the green adding freshness, the blue emphasizing the peach by contrast. Consider side tapered baguette diamonds for a sophisticated three stone ring, or a delicate pavé shoulder to increase fire without competing with the central oval. Sapphires rate highly for durability, making this gem suitable for daily wear, and our design consultants at The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on setting style and metal choice to balance protection, light performance, and aesthetic goals.
