1.12 ct Natural Unheated Peach Sapphire – Oval Cut | GIA Certified | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

A natural 1.12 ct Oval Ceylon Peach Sapphire, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated. This stone's warm blush-orange hue approaches the padparadscha range — peach sapphire in this color position is among the most sought-after natural colors in the catalog. The stone is completely unheated, and at 1.12 carats from documented Ceylon origin, it meets the specification most valued for fine peach sapphire collecting and custom jewelry design.

This stone is unheated and would normally be priced at a premium. However, due to a natural black inclusion, we have priced it lower. The inclusion does not affect the overall look of the stone.

Rarity Analysis

Rarity in colored gemstones comes down to the intersection of color, size, treatment, and documentation — and this stone sits at an unusual intersection on several of those axes at once.

• Color: GIA's lab report grades this stone's hue as Pink, while Crescent Gems offers it as Peach. This is not a discrepancy in the stone itself — the pink/peach boundary is one of the most subjective calls in the sapphire trade, and labs and sellers routinely land on different sides of it for the same stone depending on where a warm, blush-orange tone is judged to fall. The underlying color — approaching padparadscha — is the same regardless of which name is used.
• Size: At 1.12 carats, this stone clears the 1-carat mark, a size threshold above which unheated Ceylon peach/pink sapphire becomes materially harder to source.
• Treatment: unheated peach/pink sapphire from a top-tier lab (GIA) is a meaningfully smaller subset of market supply than the heat-treated material that makes up the large majority of sapphires sold.
• Clarity: This stone contains a disclosed natural black inclusion. Rather than a flaw to downplay, it's straightforward evidence that the stone is fully natural and unenhanced — inclusion-free natural sapphire in this size and color is rarer, and costlier, than what's offered here.
• Documentation: GIA Report #5231980190 — GIA reports are widely regarded as the most rigorous and consistent in the trade, and are the standard reference point for treatment and characteristic disclosure.
• Combined effect: Unheated status, documented Ceylon origin, above-1-carat size, and GIA certification rarely align in a single stone — and when they do, a disclosed inclusion like this one is often the reason such a stone remains attainable rather than priced out of reach.

Buying Guidance

A few things worth weighing before deciding on this particular stone.

• Color naming: If you're comparing this stone to others by name alone, look past "Peach" vs. "Pink" and view the actual color in photos or in person — GIA's Pink grade and the store's Peach description both describe the same warm, blush-orange stone.
• The inclusion: The natural black inclusion is real and disclosed, and it's the main reason this stone is priced below where an equivalent inclusion-free unheated Ceylon peach sapphire would land. If face-up clarity under normal viewing matters more to you than loupe-clean perfection, this is a way to access the specification at meaningfully lower cost.
• Setting considerations: Corundum's Mohs 9 hardness makes this stone suitable for a ring worn daily, though as with any colored stone, a protective setting is worth discussing with your jeweler.
• Documentation matters: Keep the GIA report with the stone — it's the primary record of the unheated treatment status and will matter for resale, insurance, or appraisal down the line.
• Try Before You Buy: Crescent Gems offers try-on so you can evaluate the color and the inclusion's visibility in person before committing.

Why Choose this 1.12 ct Oval Ceylon Peach Sapphire?

Ceylon peach sapphire above 1 carat in unheated quality is consistently one of the harder specifications to source — the combination of the color range, the origin, the treatment status, and the size is narrow. This stone's natural inclusion reduces its price below what the color and origin would otherwise command, making it an opportunity to acquire the premium specification at a lower entry point. The inclusion is natural and does not affect face-up appearance under normal viewing conditions.

Key Benefits of this Natural Peach Sapphire
