5.21 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the fertile gravels of Ceylon, where Sri Lankan miners have long sifted the earth for treasure, this orange sapphire began its life as a rough crystal, slowly revealing its potential under the hands of experienced miners and cutters. At 5.21 carats, this cushion shaped gem carries the weight and presence of a premium stone, a size that is both rare and commanding for an orange sapphire. The dimensions of 9.56 by 9.28 by 7.01 millimeters give it substantial volume and a pleasing, wearable profile. Heat treated to bring out its vivid color intensity, the gem remains transparent, with a clarity graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable characteristic that affirms its natural origin. Every facet reflects the story of its transformation, from the warm soils of Ceylon to the cutting table, where the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to balance scintillation and color saturation, while an excellent polish allows light to dance across its surface.

Held by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is presented not just as a stone, but as a narrative of place and craft, a testament to the time and skill invested in refining a rare 5.21 carat treasure. The mixed brilliant cut within the cushion outline enhances both fire and depth, allowing the vivid orange hues to glow with life in every lighting condition. Slight inclusions contribute to the gem's individuality, a fingerprint of its natural formation, while the excellent polish and precise proportions maximize brilliance and face up size. This stone is an ideal centerpiece for a bespoke ring or a distinctive pendant, suited to collectors and connoisseurs who seek a statement gem that balances authenticity with refined finishing. If you are drawn to a sapphire with both presence and provenance, The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to experience this 5.21 carat Ceylon orange sapphire, where origin, treatment, and masterful cutting converge to create a stone of enduring character and premium quality.
