Sapphires come in an array of colours, whilst blue sapphires are the most popular variant, the conundrum family of gems come in all colours of the rainbow, with countless shades that correspond to each of the main hues, in addition to the white sapphire. Peach sapphires are an interesting addition to the world of sapphires: the yellowish-red shaded gemstone holds an interesting middle ground between the popular but more accessible pink sapphire and the rarer Padparadscha sapphire. For those in the market for a quality engagement ring that features this particular hue, there might be some degree of confusion when it comes to selecting the right gemstone. Since peach sapphires are not the most popular entrants in the corundum family of gemstones, potential buyers might be confused or curious to learn more about their features. And that’s where we come in.
Top Characteristics of Peach Sapphires
Owing to their exotic character peach sapphire is sometimes referred to as “fancy sapphire”, taking a cue from the coloured range of natural diamonds. The main feature of peach sapphires is their colour. Since colour is the most important feature in sapphires, the peach sapphire family of gemstones features a balance of pink and orange hues, sometimes combined with a slight shade of red. Now there could be the tendency to confuse peach sapphires with the rarer Padparadscha Sapphires: the latter which is among the most sought after varieties, owing to its distinct colour and rarity. The peach sapphire, like the Padparadscha sapphires, combines shades of pink, orange and sometimes slight yellowish tones, peach tones. But unlike the more concentrated sunset-like effect produced by the Padparadscha, peach sapphires tend to be lighter in tone and come with their own distinct charm. The peach sapphire also sometimes referred to as champagne sapphires, gets its distinct colour from the presence of trace elements of iron and chromium. Peach sapphires are sourced from the top sapphire producing nation in the world, with countries like Ceylon, Madagascar, and Tanzania leading the way.
Why Opt for Peach Sapphire Engagement Rings?
Peach Sapphires are a delicate and exquisite gemstone choice, with their warm tones, they are a great choice for engagement rings. Particularly when combined with a wonderful rose gold metal band, which is viewed as a natural complement by rose-coloured gemstones, like pink and peach sapphires. For the cost minded buyer, peach sapphire engagement rings are a solid alternative to diamond engagement rings, particularly the pink fancy coloured diamonds. As peach sapphires come only with a fraction of the cost. A factor to look out for when going for peach sapphires is that a lighter tone means that inclusions and other blemishes are more easily visible. This means potential buyers must look out for them, and preferably seek gemstones with higher clarity grades. However, peach sapphires maintain their advantage in that they are among the best skin-tone complimenting gems. In addition, owing to their relative obscurity, and greater affordability, the peach sapphire engagement ring is a great option to stand out from the crowd. Unlike the more traditional sapphire colours like pink, yellow, white and blue; peach sapphire can be seen as a more youthful take on these sapphire engagement rings.
As conundrum gemstones, peach sapphires feature all of the strengths found in corundum stones: They are extremely durable and scratch-resistant, scoring a solid 9 on the Mohs scale for hardness. Which makes peach sapphires a solid alternative in contrast to competitors like morganite, which despite featuring a similar hue, have a lower level of hardness (Mohs scale 7.5 – 8). Peach sapphires can also be a great option for those who are considering a more expensive gemstone in this range like certain fancy coloured diamonds. Whilst being a relatively rarer variant in the sapphire family, when you control for clarity and cut, peach sapphires can be right up there with the best.
And in contrast to Padaparacha sapphires which are rare and very expensive, peach sapphires hold that interesting middle ground in that they are more affordable but also remain distinct. Peach sapphires as noted are viewed as an alternative for Padaparacha sapphires, but depending on the ring, setting buyers can seek to combine two or more coloured sapphires into a single engagement ring. Or if you wish to get really creative, get in touch with our custom engagement rings team, where you can combine a diamond centre stone with two peach sapphire side stones, where you have the best of both worlds.
