1.64 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 1.64 carat marquise sapphire from Ceylon is the embodiment of refined taste and quiet distinction, an object of desire offered with conviction by The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 9.39 by 5.71 by 4.25 millimeters, this peach sapphire displays a graceful marquise silhouette that flatters the hand with elegant elongation and stately presence. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the pavilion and crown work in concert to produce lively scintillation and a unique interplay of light and warmth. The gem reads as medium light in color intensity, yielding a soft sunlit coral tone that shifts from a delicate apricot to a richer salmon depending on the lighting. Clarity is very very slightly included when assessed at eye level, which means that the gem remains visually clean and luminous to the unaided eye, while retaining the natural character of an untouched stone. With an excellent polish and absolutely no enhancement, this sapphire is naturally finished, a rare and honest expression of Sri Lankan gemmaking.

In the tradition of the great sapphires that have lived in history and memory, this peach marquise nods to several celebrated forms while asserting its own singular identity. It carries the romantic resonance of the Padparadscha, the storied Sri Lankan varieties whose legendary hues have been prized by connoisseurs and collectors for centuries, yet it offers a more delicate, peach toned personality that is distinct from the classic pink orange of that famous family. Its clarity and transparency recall the celebrated purity of Golconda diamonds, a purity that in this sapphire translates to an open window for light rather than a veil of color. The marquise shape itself is steeped in history and high society, a cut that was sculpted to flatter and to signal refined taste, much like the royal jewels of European courts. Here, the mixed brilliant faceting modernizes that noble silhouette, creating crisp facet junctions and an energetic return of light that can outshine more traditional stones of comparable size. The origin in Ceylon is not incidental. Sri Lankan sapphires are renowned for their lively tones and exceptional crystalline quality. An untreated peach sapphire from these mines is a rare guest in the world of colored gems, and its natural state increases both its aesthetic and intrinsic value.

To own this 1.64 carat marquise is to make a statement about provenance and discernment, an achievement that transforms a private preference into a visible emblem of distinction. Whether envisioned as the centerpiece of a bespoke engagement ring, set as a singular signet, or cradled within a halo of complementary accent stones, it promises to elevate any design with its satin warmth and refined brilliance. The stone sits comfortably on the finger in photographic styling, flattering proportions and evoking the quiet confidence of understated luxury. For the collector, its combination of size, eye clean clarity, classic marquise outline, and completely natural color is a rare alignment of desirable attributes. The Natural Sapphire Company guarantees the integrity of this gemstone, offering provenance, exact measurements, and full disclosure regarding its untreated state, qualities that speak directly to the informed buyer who values authenticity as much as beauty.

We invite you to consider this peach marquise not simply as a jewel, but as a legacy piece. It references the great sapphires of history while carving out its own narrative, a modern heirloom that rewards both the hand that wears it and the eye that admires it. In an era when enhancement is common, the purity of an untreated Ceylon sapphire is a quiet luxury that marks you as a collector and a curator of rare natural beauty. For bespoke settings, expert consultations, or additional photography and viewing options, The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to guide you, ensuring that the acquisition of this stone is as assured and graceful as the gem itself.
