3.08 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and refined treasure from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this exquisite peach sapphire is a study in understated luxury, presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. Weighing 3.08 carats, the gem is fashioned into a superb asscher octagon shape, with exacting proportions of 7.80 x 7.62 x 5.53 mm. Its asscher cut lends a noble geometry to the stone, inviting light into stepped facets that reflect with a hall of mirrors elegance. Transparency is exceptional, and the clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and the careful selection standards of our gemologists. The color reads as a delicate peach with light intensity, a tone that whispers rather than shouts, and yet commands attention through its purity and balance. An excellent polish ensures every plane and facet gleams, and the stone has undergone no enhancement, preserving the original character and provenance that collectors and connoisseurs prize.

This sapphire’s vibrant peach hue will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether paired with the cool luster of platinum, the soft glow of rose gold, or the classic warmth of yellow gold. The asscher cut transforms the gentle color into a dynamic visual performance, concentrating the peach tones into broad step facets that create both depth and luminous flashes. From the crown to the pavilion, each facet has been shaped to maximize light return, so the gem displays both a refined sparkle and a large, open table that showcases the heart of its color. In a solitaire ring, the stone asserts elegant dominance, catching the eye with a serene wash of color that complements the skin. In a halo setting, the peach center is elevated by a ring of white diamonds, their crisp brilliance amplifying the sapphire’s warmth, while in bespoke designs the gem becomes a centerpiece for artistry, inviting inventive prong work or sculpted bezels that celebrate its octagonal symmetry.

With its balanced dimensions and substantial presence on the finger, this 7.80 x 7.62 mm gem has the versatility to translate across a range of high end jewelry forms, from a statement cocktail piece to an heirloom engagement ring. The asscher octagon silhouette lends itself to architectural settings, a quality that resonates with modern tastes and classic sensibilities alike. Because it is untreated, the peach sapphire carries a quiet rarity, a living connection to its Ceylon origin, where centuries of gem cutting and discovery have produced some of the world’s most desirable sapphires. Its very slightly included clarity contributes to the natural depth of the stone, allowing light to interact with internal character in a way that manufactured or heavily treated stones cannot replicate. When set in rose gold, the peach notes deepen into a romantic glow, while white metals deliver a contemporary contrast that makes the color appear even more distinct. Pairing with diamonds or colored accents can further define the narrative of the piece, whether the goal is timeless elegance, contemporary modernity, or bold couture.

To hold this sapphire is to possess a piece of refined taste and quiet achievement, a gem that says more with its elegant restraint than many jewels say with overt flash.
