2.17 Ct. Yellow Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a small sun held within a pebble, a private light that remembers the warm rains of Ceylon, the gentle tilt of earth that bore it, the careful hand that freed it from rock. This is a semi transparent yellow sapphire of 2.17 carat, a gem that prefers quiet conversation to broad declarations, a various shape stone that feels as if it were shaped by wind and water instead of the mechanical perfectness of a faceted world. Its dimensions are 9.50 x 5.20 x 4.00 mm, a modest size that carries great presence, a soft capsule of light that slips into a ring or pendant like a secret waiting to be told. The cut is a rough crystal cut, preserving a natural silhouette that sings of origin and story, and the polish is excellent, so that every gentle curve and every softened plane catches and returns light with a subtle and constant grace. The color intensity is light, a lemon bloom at dawn, a wash of honeyed sunlight, and the gem is unenhanced, entirely natural in its hue and being, an honest offering from the earth to the hand that will wear it.

Look closely and you will see the world within, slight inclusions that place this sapphire in the clarity grade slightly included, evaluated at eye level, markings that are not flaws but signatures. They are like tiny isles in a calm sea, each inclusion a proof of life, a memory of formation, an element that makes the stone uniquely itself. Semi transparency allows the interior to glow without hiding its truth, and that translucence gives the gem a depth that invites touch and attention. With no enhancement to alter its birth color, the sapphire tells one story only, that of Ceylon, the island of blue and gold where sapphires have been treasured for centuries. The rough crystal cut permits a more intimate dialogue with light, a wayward shimmer that moves like a secret smile across the stone, and the excellent polish means that every shift of motion is rewarded by a gentle radiance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor such natural gestures, we celebrate the life lines and tiny echoes that make each sapphire an individual, and we take care to present this piece exactly as it lies in nature, a pure and honest treasure.

Imagine an engagement moment softened by this subtle yellow heart, imagine a pendant resting over the place where breath always stills, where the pulse is most known, or picture a bespoke ring, set modestly so that the irregular silhouette is read as art rather than error. This sapphire is an invitation to slow vows, to stories that do not demand the loud clarity of flawless perfection, but rather cherish the quiet beauty of a gem that has carried its own history in every tiny mark. With its dimensions and weight it is versatile, suitable for a delicate bezel that will hold the stone like a tide of gold or platinum, or for a more organic setting that follows the gem lines and allows the rough crystal character to shine. If you wish, our craftsmen can suggest settings that emphasize the pale lemon glow, that play with light and shadow so the stone looks different with every step, different with every smile. We at The Natural Sapphire Company will walk with you through those choices, offering counsel born of love for natural gemstones, and practical guidance born of years of experience.

There is a romance to owning something unaltered, a romance to choosing a gem that remembers its origin and wears that memory with pride, and there is a security in knowing the stone is untouched by enhancement, exactly as the earth fashioned it. If you seek a tactile piece that will age with you, taking on the soft patina of life while always preserving that inner light, this 2.17 carat semi transparent yellow sapphire from Ceylon is a match for such intentions. It will not shout, it will whisper, and those who love whispers will know its language. Allow us to show you how this jewel moves beneath lamp light and daylight, how it sits when set into metal, how it becomes an intimate part of the story you wish to tell. Contact The Natural Sapphire Company and let us help you compose a setting worthy of this small sun, a vessel that honors its natural honesty, its rough crystal cut, its excellent polish, and the gentle glow that will keep a private light forever near.
