Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.23 ct Oval Peach Sapphire, heat treated and documented on AGCL Report #M2513027. Peach sapphire is natural corundum in the warm zone between orange and pink — a color that reads romantic in natural daylight and warm under incandescent light. At 1.23 carats in an oval cut, this is sized for center stone use in pendants and rings, and the oval shape spreads the warm peach tone across a broad face-up surface. Heat treatment is standard for this color and fully disclosed.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"Peach sapphire is one of the most flattering colors we cut, and heat treatment is the reason a stone like this one can show such an even, intense peach tone at an accessible price. Heating is a stable, fully disclosed, industry-standard process — what I look for afterward is whether the color reads clean and consistent face-up, and this stone does. At 1.23 carats with loupe-clean clarity, it's a well-balanced choice for a ring centerpiece."
Rarity Analysis
Peach sapphire occupies the sought-after middle ground between pink and orange sapphire — a warm, romantic color with broad appeal but nowhere near the supply of mainstream blue sapphire. Several factors combine to place this particular stone within that picture:
-
Color: An intense, well-saturated peach tone — the depth of color that makes this warm hue read clearly rather than fading toward pale pink or pale orange.
-
Size: At 1.23 carats, this stone is sized for confident center-stone use in a ring or pendant while remaining accessible in price.
-
Treatment: Heated — standard, disclosed. Worth noting: unlike blue sapphire, where most commercial material is heated, fine peach sapphire trends unheated, since heat treatment tends to shift the delicate pink-orange balance rather than simply improve it. A heated peach sapphire that still displays strong, even color, like this one, is a comparatively affordable way to own the look.
-
Clarity: Loupe Clean is a strong grade, meaning no inclusions are visible under normal magnified inspection.
-
Documentation: Backed by AGCL Report #M2513027. Origin — Sri Lanka (Ceylon) — is stated by Crescent Gems based on direct sourcing; the AGCL report documents the stone's species, weight, dimensions, and heat treatment, and does not include a laboratory origin determination.
-
Combined effect: Intense color, strong clarity, a wearable size, and full documentation together make this a well-balanced, honestly disclosed peach sapphire, offered at a price point below what unheated material of comparable color and size typically commands.
Buying Guidance
A few things worth knowing before you buy this particular stone:
-
Treatment and price: This stone is heat treated, which is standard practice for sapphire and fully disclosed here. Heated peach sapphire is generally more accessible in price than unheated material of comparable color and size, since most fine peach sapphire on the market is unheated.
-
Setting recommendation: Rose gold is the classic pairing for peach sapphire, echoing its warm tone; yellow gold adds richness, while white gold or platinum will read as cooler contrast.
-
Best uses: At 1.23 carats in an oval cut, this stone suits an engagement ring center stone, a pendant, or as a matched pair for earrings.
-
Documentation to keep: Save the AGCL Report #M2513027 with your purchase records — it documents the stone's identity, weight, dimensions, and heat treatment.
-
Try Before You Buy: Crescent Gems offers a Try-On program for eligible stones, letting you evaluate color in your own lighting before committing — useful given how much peach sapphire's warm tone can shift between studio and everyday light.
