0.82 Ct. Reddish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present a rare opportunity to own a transparent, vivid reddish orange sapphire that stands apart for its combination of presence and subtlety, its clear personality and refined rarity, its 0.82 carat weight is the defining feature that elevates this gem into a different class of desirability. In a market where color often dominates attention, the weight of a sapphire governs its physical impact, the way it sits within a setting, and directly influences scarcity and value. A 0.82 carat sapphire is not a mass produced stone, it is a carefully sourced treasure that balances wearable elegance with collectible significance, making it ideal for clients who demand distinction without excess. This single stone promises to communicate a sense of elevated taste, an appreciation for pieces that are limited in number and measured by quality rather than volume, and owning this sapphire places you among a discerning group who understand that true rarity is defined by proportion, color purity, and provenance.

Technically refined, this oval shaped sapphire measures 6.63 millimeters by 4.63 millimeters by 3.00 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to maximize scintillation and face up color in a compact, wearable format. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the naked eye it appears exceptionally clean, allowing the vivid reddish orange hue to radiate without distraction. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet edges and lively return of light, while the mixed brilliant cutting style ensures a dynamic play of brilliance across the table as the gem moves. The stone has been enhanced through beryllium diffusion, a disclosure we provide openly, and this treatment has been applied to intensify the striking reddish orange tone in a stable manner. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with exceptional color and character, and that origin confers an additional layer of desirability for collectors who value geographic provenance as part of a gem story.

The 0.82 carat weight of this sapphire deserves focused attention because weight in colored gemstones is not merely a measure of size, it is intrinsic to the gem economics, rarity profile, and aesthetic presence when set. Sapphires with vivid color intensity at this near one carat mark are uncommon, particularly in the rarer reddish orange palette, which occupies a narrow and highly sought after niche between classic sapphire blue and rare padparadscha tones. At 0.82 carat the sapphire offers a well balanced table and depth, it provides sufficient mass to present color saturation and depth of tone, while retaining an elegant scale suitable for fine jewelry such as solitaire rings, halo settings designed to amplify color, and bespoke pendants meant to be cherished for generations. For collectors and connoisseurs, this weight represents a practical rarity, a piece that is large enough to be visually commanding, yet small enough to be scarce and therefore covetable, and the combination of vivid color intensity, eye level clarity, and superior polish ensures that every facet of the gem contributes to its premium valuation.

Owning this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of collectors and patrons who prioritize singularity, traceable origin, and exquisite craftsmanship. We source and present only a small number of such distinct stones at any time, and this sapphire is offered with full disclosure of enhancement and origin, along with our guidance for setting and care to ensure the gem retains its beauty in daily wear. If you seek a piece that conveys refined individuality, that signals membership in an elite class of owners who appreciate the subtleties of carat weight and color harmony, this 0.82 carat oval reddish orange Ceylon sapphire is a rare find.
