1.44 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Yellow Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair of oval yellow sapphires from The Natural Sapphire Company is presented for its measured proportions and consistently transparent appearance, weighing 0.76 carat and 0.68 carat respectively. Each stone measures 6.28 x 4.76 x 2.87 mm and 6.21 x 4.71 x 2.74 mm, and both are executed in a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize scintillation while preserving the oval outline. Clarity is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, providing an uncluttered visual plane that enhances the gems natural sparkle. Color intensity is described as intense, yielding a saturated, even yellow tone that displays well in both direct and diffuse lighting. Polish has been assessed as excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and lively reflection. Enhancement is heat treated, a common and stable practice for sapphires that improves hue and clarity without compromising the inherent durability of corundum.

The origin of these sapphires is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and The Natural Sapphire Company procures them through channels that emphasize responsible sourcing and reduced environmental impact. The mining partners involved employ low impact extraction techniques suited to gem alluvial and shallow deposit contexts, including careful overburden management, controlled excavation to limit land disturbance, progressive rehabilitation of worked areas, and water management measures such as settling ponds and recycling where feasible. Chemical usage is minimized through selection of manual and mechanical separation methods rather than aggressive chemical processing, and tailings are managed to reduce sediment runoff. In addition to environmental measures, sourcing practices include documentation to maintain chain of custody from mine to market and engagement with local communities to support fair labor standards and economic benefit at the source. These practices reflect The Natural Sapphire Companys commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility, and they form part of the provenance information available for this pair. For use, the closely matched weights, dimensions, and cutting style make these sapphires particularly suitable for a refined pair of stud earrings or for complementary settings in bespoke jewelry, where their clarity, cut, and vivid color will remain stable with normal wear.
