2.16 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 2.16 carat peach sapphire presents an elegant emerald cut, measuring 7.89 x 6.80 x 4.49 mm, with a length to width ratio of approximately 1.16, and a depth of roughly 61.2 percent, proportions that yield balanced optical performance and broad, sophisticated light returns. The step cut architecture features parallel table and pavilion facets, truncated corners, and well defined facet junctions that emphasize broad flashes and a satin like dispersion rather than scintillation. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with minute internal characteristics that do not distract from the gem when set, and that affirm its natural origin. Color presents as a delicate peach with faint color intensity, a subtle and refined saturation that reads as warm pastel in daylight and acquires a richer peach nuance under incandescent lighting. Polish is excellent, indicating meticulous lapidary finishing, with crisp facet planes and no surface abrasion, and the stone is free of enhancement, no enhancement, a wholly natural material from Madagascar, an origin noted for producing sapphires with nuanced, painterly color palettes.

From a craftsmanship and longevity perspective this sapphire exemplifies technical excellence and enduring appeal. The emerald cut, executed with precise symmetry and proportional depth, allows the peach hue to breathe across large facet panels, delivering an even color distribution and a serene visual depth that remains compelling over time. As corundum, sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, ensuring strong resistance to everyday wear, and because this specimen has no enhancement, its color and structure are stable through normal exposure and routine cleaning. The excellent polish will preserve surface luster with basic care, and the truncated corners of the emerald cut reduce chipping risk when mounted, while still presenting the crisp geometric lines favored by connoisseurs. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem to clients seeking an understated yet technically refined stone, a peach sapphire that will continue to captivate across years of wear, whether mounted in a classic solitaire, an architectural halo, or a bespoke design tailored to emphasize its step cut geometry. For collectors and discerning buyers who value precise faceting, natural provenance, and enduring beauty, this Madagascar peach sapphire represents a strong technical and aesthetic choice.
