This large elongated orange sapphire presents a striking warm color in a bold octagon cut measuring 17.2x7.5mm. The stone glows with a rich amber-orange warmth, the color deepening toward the center and lightening toward the edges to produce an attractive tonal range across the step-cut facets. The elongated shape is highly distinctive, giving the stone a dramatic, architectural presence unlike a standard oval or round. Some natural inclusions are visible within the body, adding genuine character to this substantial natural corundum.
Orange sapphires are among the most unusual and sought-after members of the corundum family, celebrated for their warm autumnal palette that sits midway between golden yellow and fiery orange-red. This stone has been treated with beryllium diffusion to develop and enhance its warm orange color, a permanent process widely accepted in the sapphire trade. At 6.82ct and 17.2mm long, it is an excellent centerpiece for bespoke statement rings, elongated pendants, and custom jewelry designs where a bold, warm-colored sapphire in an unusual shape is the goal.

About sapphire
Sapphire is corundum in every color except red. At 9 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond, and it is also very tough with no cleavage, so it rarely chips or splits when knocked. Together that makes it one of the most durable gemstones for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually fine for a faceted sapphire, but skip them if the stone has fissures that reach the surface.
Wear and storage
Sapphire is very hard, so it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Only diamond can scratch it, so keep it apart from diamonds and store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
Sapphire handles normal setting, re-tipping and polishing well. If the stone has fissures that reach the surface, keep it out of direct torch flame and acid pickle.
