1.78 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.78 carat cushion shape peach sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a refined example of what educated buyers seek when selecting a stone meant to last across generations. The gem measures 8.15 x 6.65 x 3.32 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation while preserving a pleasing cushion silhouette. Transparency is excellent, the color intensity is light in a delicate peach hue, and the polish is graded excellent, which means light interacts cleanly with every facet plane. Clarity is noted as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and in practical terms the stone reads as eye clean, with any inclusions remaining discreet and visible only under magnification. Importantly for long term value, this sapphire has received no enhancement, a quality that appeals strongly to collectors and connoisseurs, because natural color and structure carry a demonstrable premium over treated material.

Beyond its immediate aesthetic appeal, this sapphire is an ideal candidate to become a generational heirloom, for reasons of durability, provenance, and rarity. As corundum, sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it endures daily wear and resists abrasion far better than most gemstones, preserving facet edges and polish for decades. The combination of Ceylon origin and untreated status is particularly significant, because Ceylon sapphires are respected for their clarity and luminous pastel tones, and untreated stones are increasingly scarce on the market. When set in a thoughtful mounting that protects the pavilion and offers secure prongs, this 1.78 carat cushion will retain its beauty for grandchildren to enjoy. The Natural Sapphire Company provides documentation of origin and grading, which supports provenance and resale confidence, and we recommend a bespoke setting matched to the stone proportions to maximize both wearability and sentimental value. Regular professional inspections, careful cleaning with mild soap and water, and secure insurance will ensure this peach sapphire moves from a cherished purchase into a family legacy, a piece that carries both aesthetic distinction and the tangible attributes that discerning buyers prioritize.
