Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.30 carat white sapphire in a round brilliant cut, near-colorless with a faint peach tint, completely untreated, with an AGCL Gemstone Report (#M264390) confirming species, weight, dimensions, and unheated status. This stone is not purely colorless — it carries a subtle warm undertone that places it between colorless and the very palest peach. This trace of warmth makes it distinctly different from a standard colorless white sapphire: in certain lighting it reads as nearly colorless, and in warmer incandescent light the peach tint becomes gently visible, giving the stone a soft character not present in pure colorless alternatives.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"This isn't a pure colorless stone and we don't sell it as one — AGCL's report confirms a faint natural peach tint, and buyers choosing this over a truly colorless sapphire should want that warmth, not be surprised by it under incandescent light."
Rarity Analysis
A few factors work together to make this specific stone less common than a generic colorless sapphire of similar size:
-
Color: Near-colorless with a faint, entirely natural peach tint — a specific in-between hue that most white sapphire buyers aren't offered, since suppliers typically sort for pure colorless.
-
Size: 1.30 ct in a round — a practical center-stone weight, large enough for a solitaire or pendant without being a rare oversized specimen.
-
Treatment: Untreated, with no indication of heating per the AGCL report — the tint is natural, not the result of enhancement.
-
Clarity: Eye-clean with no visible inclusions under normal viewing.
-
Documentation: Independently lab-verified by AGCL (Report #M264390), confirming species, weight, dimensions, and unheated status.
-
Combined effect: A natural, disclosed, off-colorless tone in an eye-clean, untreated stone at center-stone size is a narrower combination than a plain colorless white sapphire of the same weight.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
This stone is not pure colorless. The faint peach tint is real and will be more visible in warm/incandescent lighting than in daylight or LED light — view the photos and video carefully before ordering.
-
Metal choice affects the look. Rose gold or yellow gold settings will harmonize with the warm undertone; a cold white metal like platinum will make the stone read closer to colorless.
-
It functions as a diamond alternative, not a diamond match. At Mohs 9 it's durable enough for daily wear, but its brilliance and fire differ from diamond — compare it on its own terms.
-
Keep the AGCL report with the stone. The unheated status and the specific color description are only meaningful with the lab documentation attached to a resale or insurance appraisal.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.

Why Choose this 1.30 ct Near-Colorless White Sapphire with Peach Tint?
The subtle peach tint in this stone is entirely natural and untreated — a trace of chromium-iron interaction in the crystal that barely tips the color away from pure colorless. The AGCL report (#M264390) confirms the weight, dimensions, and unheated status. For buyers working in rose gold or warm yellow gold settings, this trace warmth creates a more harmonious result than a cold pure-white stone, and the near-colorless base means it reads primarily as white in daylight. At 1.30 carats in a round, this is a practical engagement and pendant center stone in an unusual specification.
