1.12 Ct. Yellow Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a small sun captured and given form, a semi translucent yellow sapphire that seems to hold a morning light within its gentle dome. This oval shape gem weighs 1.12 carat and measures 6.92 by 5.17 by 3.19 millimeters, a size that feels intimate on the finger, near the heart. Cut as a cabochon, its surface is a smooth, luminous crescent that invites the eye to travel across its curves. From the mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and presented with the care and pedigree you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone is heat treated to enhance its innate glow, with an excellent polish that answers every touch with a soft gleam. Its clarity is graded very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a testament to natural formation that gives character without diminishing its serene radiance.

The color is where this sapphire truly sings, a medium light intensity yellow that reads as sunny, buttery, and utterly alive. Because it is semi translucent, light does not simply reflect off the surface, it travels and shimmers inside the gem, creating a warm inner luminescence that sets this yellow apart from any painted or artificial tint. In any jewelry setting this color will stand out, whether cradled in the cool contrast of white gold or platinum, warmed by the honey glow of yellow gold, or paired with delicate diamonds to frame its serene heart. The cabochon cut makes the hue feel soft and enveloping, perfect for designs that favor organic silhouette over sharp angles, and its excellent polish ensures each movement brings a quiet flash that catches attention without shouting.

For the person who selects this sapphire, its proportions and qualities make it an ideal centerpiece or a tender accent. The 6.92 by 5.17 by 3.19 millimeter dimensions sit beautifully on a ring, offering presence without overpowering, and translate equally well to pendants or bespoke pieces where the gem can lay flat and luminous against the skin. The clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level means the gem carries the fingerprints of the earth, those small, natural inclusions that tell a story and catch the light in ways that give the stone depth and life. Heat treated to refine its tone, and finished to an excellent polish, this gem arrives ready to be set, loved, and worn daily. The kind of yellow it offers is versatile, flattering to a wide range of skin tones, and it pairs wonderfully with both vintage inspired mountings and modern minimalist silhouettes.

Hold this sapphire as a promise of warmth, a talisman of sunny days and quiet devotion, a piece that speaks in soft luminous language. Envision it at the center of a proposal ring, a subtle and unique alternative that catches your partner by surprise, or imagine it as a gift to oneself, a bright companion that lifts ordinary moments. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate and present stones like this because beauty is not merely about color or carat, it is about resonance and story, about how a gem finds its person. This yellow sapphire, with its oval cabochon form, semi translucent glow, and the heritage of Ceylon Sri Lanka, will stand out in any setting, in any light, and will become a small sun you carry with you always.
