1.55 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Ceylon Sri Lanka this orange sapphire began as a patient miracle of nature, formed under heat and pressure over millions of years before it was found by skilled miners who know where the island still yields rare color. The Natural Sapphire Company selected this particular crystal for its unusually pure tone and remarkable potential, and after careful sorting it was entrusted to a master cutter. The finished gem is a transparent 1.55 carat cushion shape orange sapphire, measuring 6.68 by 5.41 by 4.45 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and color depth. Evaluated at eye level it is eye clean, it displays vivid color intensity, and it has an excellent polish, enhancement by traditional heat treatment to refine hue and clarity. Orange sapphires in this size and with this vivid, saturated golden orange are exceptionally rare, most comparable stones are either smaller, paler, or show too much brown or yellow bias to achieve the same lively tone, which makes this piece stand out for collectors and designers seeking something truly uncommon.

The journey from rough to radiant gem is a story of restraint and intention, every facet planned to preserve the heart of the color while releasing maximum light. Our cutter chose a cushion outline to retain weight and to accentuate the warm glow that you see when the stone is viewed face up, while the mixed brilliant cut preserves return of light and the scintillating flashes that bring life to the vivid orange. Because the stone is eye clean and well proportioned at just under one and a half carats, it offers a rare combination of size and purity that is hard to find in orange sapphires from any source. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin and treatment and we stand behind the story of each gem, from the Ceylon fields to the precision polish. If you wish to carry a piece of Sri Lankan geology and craftsmanship with you, or to set a unique engagement or statement gem that will not be mistaken for any other, this sapphire offers a singular opportunity.
