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

These two round yellow sapphires present a rare combination of size, clarity, and color that will appeal to the informed buyer. The stones weigh 0.92 carats and 0.94 carats respectively, with dimensions 5.58 x 5.58 x 3.52 mm and 5.58 x 5.53 x 3.64 mm, and they are cut as mixed brilliant cuts to balance scintillation and overall light return. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not detract from face up brilliance or require special setting considerations. Color intensity is classified as intense, producing a vivid, pure yellow that is lively without appearing artificial, and the polish is excellent, delivering crisp facet intersections and bright reflections. For full transparency these sapphires have been treated by beryllium diffusion, a durable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that deepens and stabilizes yellow hues, and the origin of the material is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with clean tones and attractive saturation.

The story of these stones is part of their appeal and their value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curated this pair from a single Sri Lankan parcel where the rough displayed consistent chemistry and color zoning, allowing cutters to fashion a matched pair that shares optical character and warmth. The decision to cut them as mixed brilliants was deliberate, optimizing crown and pavilion relationships to maximize lively return and create matched dispersion when set side by side. Because they were selected and cut together the pair exhibits unusually close symmetry in weight dimensions and table proportions, a quality that adds premium value for buyers commissioning coordinated earrings or halo settings. For the educated collector this combination of origin, clarity, cut, matched proportions, and an intense yellow tone enhanced by stable beryllium diffusion offers a responsible purchase, as the treatment is disclosed, the sourcing is traceable to Ceylon, and the craftsmanship enhances natural material rather than disguising inferior rough. These sapphires embody both gemological integrity and visual appeal, making them an excellent choice for bespoke pieces where color accuracy, matching, and long term wearability matter.
