1.64 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, amidst the vibrant sounds and rich aromas of the region, lies the saga of a magnificent gemstone—a radiant shape peach sapphire that traces its journey from the womb of the earth to the elegant embrace of The Natural Sapphire Company. Nestled amongst ancient teal green mountains, the mines of Sri Lanka are famed for producing sapphires that catch and envelop the very essence of the sky at dusk. It's here that our beautiful transparent 1.64 carat sapphire began its voyage. The unassuming raw crystal in its originally opaque, rugged state was nestled in the metamorphic folds of some of Earth's oldest rocks.

As an experienced miner collected it from Ceylonese ground, overseen by experts whose families had spent generations understanding the land and its bounteous gifts, this sapphire was identified among many to hold extraordinary potential. This is not a standard find. Unlike other more common sapphires emerging from mines across various regions, particularly in lower hand-dug areas where stones are hurriedly extracted and unconsidered, Ceylonese sapphires are harvested with care, patience, and precision—a testament to the expertise passed down through generations.

When comparing this singular gem to those found in Madagascar or even Australia's fields, the choice is distinct. The gems from these regions often exhibit variations that pale in both color consistency and texture to Ceylonese gems. With hues recalling the warmth and tranquility of summer sunsets, the light peach color of our sapphire excels in clarity—graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Such precision in clarity far surpasses the moderately included counterparts typically encountered across the global market. The Natural Sapphire Company ensures this hallmark of excellence through stringent assessment protocols that align market standards with artistry belonging distinctly to our Sri Lankan gems.

However, uncovering this gem in its raw state is only half its journey. When reached by our master craftspeople, experienced lapidaries transform gemstone dreams into dazzling reality with the radiant cut. Unlike traditional cuts, our exquisite radiant cut is designed to maximize symmetry and radiance, augmenting the stone beyond conventional multifaceted cuts. It affords the stone acknowledgment of each carefully beveled surface, projecting an internal fire further enhanced by exemplary polish to make the sapphire gleam under any illumination. This stands tall amidst its peers, often manifesting scattererized light appearances in inferior cuts or less polished, commonly found stones processed elsewhere.

Finally, the naturally light but captivating color—enhanced by a method long utilized in the industry to augment nature's beauty, heat treatment—finishes by creating an unparalleled luminosity. Yet, what ultimately fortifies this stone's position in its class is not solely its features but its origin purchase narrative within The Natural Sapphire Company—a guarantee unlike usual sources catering generically treated or synthetic designs. By selecting our Ceylon peach sapphire, you're procuring not just a jewel but a slice of nature's unparalleled story, handled with integrity. Ours is a legacy item touched by Sri Lankan heritage and shaped into a modern testament to timeless beauty and commitment to quality.
