3.90 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.90 carat pear shape peach sapphire measures 14.00 x 7.74 x 4.50 mm, and displays a refined combination of size, shape, and cut that makes it particularly well suited for bespoke jewelry. The stone is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, producing controlled scintillation and a lively face up appearance, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and an even surface finish. The color is a delicate peach with light intensity, providing a soft and versatile tone that complements a wide range of metals and design palettes. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the gem reads as eye clean in typical viewing conditions, allowing the color and cut to remain the primary visual attributes. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires, and originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with appealing color and transparency.

The pear shape and the specific dimensions of this sapphire translate directly into practical advantages for custom design. At 14.00 mm in length and 7.74 mm in width, the stone offers an elongated silhouette that creates a flattering visual axis when set in a ring, and an elegant drop when configured as a pendant or as the focal gem in pendant drop earrings. The substantial carat weight provides significant visible area, allowing designers to create both solitaire and halo compositions that showcase the peach hue without requiring extremely large settings. The tapered point lends itself to oriented designs that emphasize line and movement, and the mixed brilliant cut promotes even light return across the pavilion and crown, enhancing sparkle in everyday wear. For setting considerations, protecting the pointed tip with a V prong or partial bezel is recommended to preserve the stone in wearable pieces. The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on mounting options and design approaches that maximize the gem performance and durability, ensuring the final custom piece balances aesthetic intent with practical longevity.
