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

This matched pair of transparent cushion shape sapphires from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, presents 1.07 carats and 1.13 carats respectively, with dimensions of 5.98 by 5.89 by 3.46 millimeters for the 1.07 carat stone, and 6.04 by 5.97 by 3.57 millimeters for the 1.13 carat stone. Each gem exhibits a vivid orangish yellow hue and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines step and brilliant faceting to optimize both color and light return. Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating exceptional clarity to the naked eye with inclusions that do not materially affect visual performance. Polish is excellent, facet junctions are crisp, and overall transparency is high, allowing internal light to travel freely through the stones. These sapphires have undergone beryllium diffusion to enhance and stabilize the orangish yellow saturation, a common and well documented enhancement for this color range, and the provenance of Ceylon contributes to the clean crystal structure and lively tone.

The mixed brilliant faceting and cushion outline create a consistent pattern of reflection that is particularly effective for showcasing symmetry in matched pairs. The measured depth proportions are approximately 58.3 percent for the 1.07 carat stone and 59.4 percent for the 1.13 carat stone, proportions that support balanced light performance between crown and pavilion. When viewed face up, the pavilion and crown facet relationships produce a series of repeating highlights and scintillation, while side profiles reveal well aligned girdles and uniform pavilion angles, factors that reinforce symmetrical appearance when set side by side. The vivid color intensity combined with excellent polish results in strong internal brilliance and lively surface flash, attributes that translate well into paired earring or dual stone ring settings where mirror symmetry is important. The overall presentation is one of technical refinement and visual harmony, suitable for designs that prioritize matched symmetry and consistent reflective qualities.
