1.82 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.82 carat transparent yellowish green sapphire, presented in an emerald cut, displays precise proportions at 8.77 x 6.12 x 3.51 mm. The cut is executed as a classic step cut with broad table and parallel crown and pavilion facets, engineered to emphasize broad color planes rather than brilliant scintillation, yielding a controlled play of light and deep color saturation. The color reads as yellowish green with intense color intensity, and the transparency allows the tone and saturation to be read across the entire stone without significant windowing. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with small natural inclusions that do not interrupt the step facet architecture or overall visual appeal. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and clean facet reflections, and the stone is completely free of enhancements, preserving its natural Ceylon provenance from Sri Lanka.

From a durability perspective this sapphire benefits from the intrinsic properties of corundum, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, offering superior resistance to abrasion for daily wear in rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings. Corundum lacks true cleavage, and combined with the excellent polish and careful facet alignment, the gem exhibits strong toughness and stable facet junctions, reducing the risk of edge chipping under normal wear. Recommended mounting practices include protective bezel settings or secure prong configurations that support the corners and distribute impact, preserving the emerald cut geometry. Routine maintenance is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush are appropriate for cleaning, and professional re inspection of settings is advised periodically. This natural, unenhanced Ceylon sapphire, supplied by The Natural Sapphire Company, pairs technical cutting precision with inherent material durability, making it an ideal candidate for fine jewelry intended for everyday use.
