5.22 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare opportunity to claim a truly extraordinary engagement gemstone, a C.Dunaigre certified Orange sapphire weighing 5.22 carat, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. Sourced from the legendary mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this oval shape gem measures 10.60 by 8.73 by 6.70 millimeters, and its presence is immediate and unforgettable. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize fire and scintillation, producing a lively interplay of facets that draws the eye into a warm, autumnal glow. The color intensity is classified as intense, a vibrant orange that sets this sapphire apart from more common hues, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to travel unimpeded through the stone and return with radiance and purity. Examined at eye level it is eye clean, so the surface and interior present an untroubled field of color and brilliance, perfect for a timeless engagement ring that will be admired across a lifetime.

Owning this sapphire means joining an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs who understand the profound rarity of fine orange sapphires from Ceylon. Unlike more abundant blue sapphires, a vivid orange sapphire of this size and clarity is an infrequent find, and the C.Dunaigre certification offers an authenticated record of its qualities and origin. Heat treatment has been applied, a common and stable enhancement that brings the natural color to its most beautiful expression without compromising the gemological integrity. This treatment is standard for many world class sapphires, and in this instance it enhances the saturation and harmony of tone across the table and pavilion. For the discerning buyer seeking an engagement gem that is both a sentimental symbol and an investment in rarity, this specimen represents a confluence of provenance, quality, and rarity that is increasingly difficult to locate on the open market.

As an engagement option this sapphire is unparalleled for couples who wish to express individuality and refined taste. Its 5.22 carat weight gives substantial presence on the finger, yet the oval silhouette keeps the overall composition elegant and wearable. The mixed brilliant cut offers the sparkle associated with diamonds, while the warm orange color conveys joy, creativity, and passionate commitment. With a stone of this caliber you can design a bespoke setting that elevates its singular character, whether you prefer a classic solitaire that showcases the gem alone, an understated bezel that emphasizes modern lines, a fine halo of diamonds to amplify brilliance, or an artisan vintage style to match the depth of its origin. Our in house design consultants at The Natural Sapphire Company are ready to collaborate with you on a setting that preserves the gem as the focal point, and that will become a signature heirloom for generations to come.

Choosing this Ceylon orange sapphire for an engagement ring is a promise of lifelong distinction, and it assures the wearer of owning something both personal and prized by collectors. The combination of 5.22 carat weight, oval shape, mixed brilliant cut, intense color, eye clean clarity at face up inspection, excellent polish, and verified Ceylon origin under C.Dunaigre certification creates an item of true scarcity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone to those who seek more than a ring, but rather a bespoke emblem of devotion that few will ever possess. If you are looking to step beyond the ordinary and offer a token of love that carries both heritage and exclusivity, this orange sapphire is a rare invitation to make a statement of individuality, elegance, and enduring value.
