2.05 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent 2.05 carat round shape peach sapphire, dimensions 7.41 by 7.34 by 4.75 mm, offers a precise combination of weight and proportions that immediately communicates its gemological quality, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone with full technical transparency. The cutting style is faceted, executed in a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes brilliant facets and step elements to optimize both fire and color. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates inclusions are minimal and do not disrupt the gem face up, and the polish is excellent across every facet plane. The color intensity is classified as light, producing a delicate peach bodycolor that is authentic and natural, as this sapphire has no enhancement, and the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing lively pastel hues with a distinctly velvety tone. Measured depth and diameter yield balanced proportions conducive to strong optical performance, and the artisan cutting preserves the stone mass while maximizing return of visible light.

The mixed brilliant cut employed on this round peach sapphire is a deliberate technical choice, combining the scintillation of brilliant faceting with the color retention and contrast produced by selective step facets. The cutter calibrated crown angles and pavilion angles to the gemstone material properties typical of corundum, producing facet junctions and alignments that favor internal reflection and minimal light leakage. With a depth of 4.75 mm relative to the average diameter of approximately 7.375 mm, the depth percentage is approximately 64 percent, a proportion that sits within the range considered optimal for round sapphires to balance brilliance and color saturation. The crown faceting pattern disperses incident light into small, lively flashes, while the pavilion faceting channels light back through the table with coherent return, creating both brilliance and scintillation. The mixed approach also creates controlled contrast patterns, enhancing perceived sharpness and giving the eye structured facets to follow across the table and crown, which is particularly effective in pastel colored corundum where maintaining color uniformity is essential.

Color performance in a light intensity peach sapphire is highly dependent on facet architecture and surface finish, and this stone demonstrates how cutting technique can enhance inherent bodycolor without sacrificing optical performance. Peach in corundum results from subtle balances of iron and chromium related chromophores, and the mixed brilliant layout here was executed to yield an even face up distribution while allowing the stone to breathe in reflected light environments. The relatively shallow crown bevels and precisely placed star and upper girdle facets create additional surface refractions that modulate the peach tones as the stone moves, producing an attractive interplay between pink and warm orange undertones. Because the stone is unenhanced, the gem shows its natural pleochroic tendencies cleanly, and the cutter oriented the crystal to present the most desirable color on the table, while the pavilion geometry deepens the tone just enough to provide presence without overpowering the delicate hue. The excellent polish further sharpens color edges and reduces diffuse scattering, so the stone displays crisp, well defined facet images and lively color flashes under both daylight and incandescent light sources.

From a clarity and practical use standpoint, the very very slightly included grade measured at eye level confirms that inclusions are minute and consumptive of neither durability nor optical performance. The absence of enhancement means there is no diffusion or heating intervention to alter inclusions or color zoning, which is a significant consideration for connoisseurs who prioritize natural provenance and treatment disclosures. The cutter preserved facet integrity and pavilion symmetry to maintain mechanical strength at the girdle and to ensure that the stone sits securely in a bespoke setting. For mounting recommendations, a four prong or six prong open head will maximize light entry and display of scintillation, while a well proportioned bezel with minimal metal coverage can protect the girdle without unduly masking face up light return. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can provide additional technical documentation and high magnification imaging to verify facet alignment and polish condition, and we can advise on setting designs that will showcase the unique optical signature of this 2.05 carat Ceylon peach sapphire while protecting its natural state. This gemstone represents a rare combination of precise cutting, natural color, minimal inclusion, excellent polish, and traditional Sri Lankan origin, and for buyers who value detailed craftsmanship and measurable optical performance it offers an exceptional balance of technical attributes.
