2.06 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent pink peach sapphire weighs 2.06 carats and is GIA certified, presented in an elegant oval shape with precise dimensions of 8.97 x 6.35 x 4.11 mm. The gem features a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, qualities that contribute to its lively faceting and visual appeal. Color is graded at medium intensity, delivering a balanced peach tone that reads as pink under many lighting conditions, while clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. The stone has undergone heat treatment, a common and stable enhancement used to refine color and clarity in sapphires. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with refined hue and natural character, and the GIA report provides independent verification of the gem identity, weight, dimensions, and the attributes noted above.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire with an emphasis on durability and practical wearability. As a corundum variety, sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, which places it immediately below diamond at 10, and above topaz at 8 and quartz at 7, indicating excellent resistance to scratching for everyday jewelry such as rings and bracelets. This relative hardness, combined with the excellent polish and the stability of the heat treatment, supports long term use with sensible care. Recommended care involves avoiding harsh abrasives and extreme thermal shocks, and cleaning by warm soapy water or professional ultrasonic cleaning when appropriate for the mounting. When setting this oval mixed brilliant sapphire, consider protective bezel or well designed prong settings to minimize exposure of the girdle and to secure the stone while allowing light to interact with the cut. The GIA certification and documented origin add to the stone provenance, and the measured proportions make it suitable for a variety of fine jewelry applications where a balance of presence and classic proportions is desired.
