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

This translucent 5.83 carat oval yellow sapphire is a lovely example of natural Ceylon color, offering a soft and sunny presence that reads as both elegant and warm. The gem measures 10.80 by 9.20 by 5.30 mm and has been fashioned as a smooth cabochon cut, presenting a domed surface with an excellent polish that brings out a gentle, satiny glow. Color intensity is light, allowing for delicate lemon and butter yellow tones to show through, and the clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone natural character without detracting from its overall appeal. Importantly this sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and its origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to its desirability among collectors and lovers of classic, natural gemstones.

At this size and shape the stone makes a beautiful center for a vintage inspired ring or a refined pendant, sitting comfortably in either a bezel or a secure prong and pairing particularly well with yellow or rose gold to enhance the warm hues. As a cabochon the surface feels silky to the touch and the internal inclusions create a soft, natural depth that photographs and wears with subtle personality. Care is straightforward, use warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and store separately to protect the cabochon dome from scratches. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select stones for their provenance and balance of beauty and value, and this 5.83 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire is a fine example of that selection philosophy. If you would like additional views, advice on mounting options, or information about secure purchase and delivery, we would be pleased to assist and tailor a setting that showcases this stone to best effect.
