2.21 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval peach sapphire from Ceylon, weighing 2.21 carats, is a tribute to the long standing romance between earth and artisan, a gem that feels both ancient and utterly modern. Cut to an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, and measuring 8.63 by 6.90 by 4.72 mm, it presents a transparent, gently blushing peach tone with medium color intensity and an excellent polish that lets light dance through every plane. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as wonderfully clean to the viewer while still carrying the natural fingerprints of its geological story. Free of any enhancement, this sapphire offers an honest, untreated presence that speaks to connoisseurs and romantics alike, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish such stones for their authenticity and provenance from historic Sri Lankan deposits.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire brings enduring practicality, sapphires ranking nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond at ten. That high hardness ensures the gem resists scratches and holds up to daily wear far better than many other colored stones, making it an outstanding choice for engagement rings and heirloom pieces intended for frequent use. For comparison, common jewelry stones like topaz and tourmaline sit lower on the scale, making this Ceylon sapphire a more durable long term companion. The very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level enhances its durability, since fewer and smaller inclusions reduce points of potential weakness. With careful settings such as secure prongs or a classic bezel, and routine gentle cleaning, this peach sapphire will remain luminous and stable for generations. When you choose a gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you are selecting not only a beautiful object, but a piece crafted by natural history and human skill that can become a cherished legacy, an emblem of timeless taste and enduring love.
