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

From the heart of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this yellow sapphire set out like a sunbeam trapped in stone, a gentle glow waiting to be released. Buried within river-worn gravels, it endured the patient rhythms of earth and water until a miner's patient hand coaxed it into the light. At 1.21 carat, and measuring 6.91 by 5.21 by 3.26 mm, its oval silhouette spoke of quiet refinement, its semi-translucent body holding a soft, buttery luminescence that feels like a memory of dawn. Skilled artisans recognized its promise and chose a cabochon cut to amplify its inner glow, polishing it to an excellent finish that lets the surface breathe with a silky sheen. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a whisper of nature preserved within, and its medium light color intensity carries warmth without overwhelming, a gentle honeyed note warmed further by careful heat treatment to reveal and stabilize the gem's sweetest tones.

When The Natural Sapphire Company brings a gem like this to market, we imagine more than a sale, we imagine a beginning.

Whether cradled in a simple bezel to honor its natural grace, or cradled by filigree and diamonds as the heart of a bespoke piece, this sapphire becomes a quiet keeper of stories, a promise that glows from within. Allow its gentle radiance to witness proposals, anniversaries, and private vows, and let The Natural Sapphire Company help you place this warm, measured beauty where it will be treasured.
