1.81 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries Ceylon has been celebrated for producing sapphires of exceptional charm, and this exquisite peach sapphire carries that legacy with a quiet, enduring grace. Weighing 1.81 carats, this transparent cushion shaped gem measures 8.17 by 6.09 by 3.86 millimeters, a proportion that marries presence with wearable elegance. Its mixed brilliant cut elevates the stone with modern fire while preserving the rounded, classical silhouette of the cushion form, and an excellent polish ensures each facet returns light with a refined, mirror like finish. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity allows the gem to speak with clarity rather than distraction. The color reads as very light peach, a soft, evocative hue that recalls antique cameos and sunlit silk, and importantly it is offered without enhancement, a testament to nature rather than treatment. Stones of this weight and untreated purity from Sri Lanka are uncommon, and that natural provenance imbues the gem with historic depth and collector appeal.

The 1.81 carat weight is central to this sapphire's value, defining not only its market rarity but also its visual and sentimental impact. Historically, sapphire weight has been a measure of significance, and a near two carat cushion from Ceylon that is both transparent and untreated occupies a special place in the spectrum of collectible gems. The combined factors of weight, origin, clarity, and the meticulous mixed brilliant cutting create a stone that reads as both timeless and distinct, suitable for an heirloom engagement ring or an elegant pendant that will age with increasing esteem. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how weight shapes desirability, and this peach sapphire is precisely the sort of gem that rewards thoughtful design and patient appreciation. If you seek a gemstone that offers classical heritage, understated color, and the rarity of an untreated Ceylon origin at a notable 1.81 carats, this sapphire stands ready to become a lasting chapter in your personal story.
