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

This matched pair of Ceylon yellow sapphires from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a controlled balance of weight, proportion and optical return, weighing 1.13 carats and 1.19 carats respectively. Each stone is fashioned into a radiant shape with dimensions of 6.93 by 5.04 by 3.53 millimeters and 7.08 by 5.02 by 3.65 millimeters. These proportions yield depth profiles of approximately 59 percent and 60 percent relative to the average of length and width, a range that promotes efficient internal reflection while preserving face up area. The cutting style is a true radiant, integrating a dense pavilion of brilliant style facets with a crown that borrows both step and modified brilliant elements to increase scintillation. The facet junctions are sharply defined and the symmetry is tightly controlled, resulting in an even table footprint and predictable light paths through the pavilion, while the excellent polish ensures minimal surface diffusion of light, maximizing contrast and fire.

The faceting strategy employed accentuates the intense color intensity that characterizes these sapphires. The radiant architecture here uses a high facet count, approximately 70 facets, concentrated along the pavilion and crown to fragment and return light as a lively mixture of bright flashes and smaller scintillation pinpoints. The trimmed corners of the radiant outline reduce light leakage at vulnerable junctions and facilitate a more continuous pattern of reflection across the table, producing a balanced blend of broad flash and crisp scintillation when the stones are viewed in motion. The intense yellow hue is uniformly distributed across the body of each stone, benefiting from precise pavilion angles that route light back through color saturated zones rather than allowing disproportionate darkening towards the girdle. The excellent polish and consistent facet plan together create strong contrast which amplifies the perception of depth and the saturation of the yellow tone under both daylight and artificial illumination.

Clarity and treatment details are disclosed to support informed selection and setting decisions. Both sapphires are graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating eye clean appearance with inclusions confined to the microscopic and not interfering with transparency or light performance. The material has undergone beryllium diffusion to enhance and stabilize the yellow coloration. This enhancement produces a rich, intense yellow that is effectively permanent under normal wear, though it is important to disclose the treatment in resale and appraisal contexts. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, which contributes a characteristic lively yellow-honey to golden hue often prized for its brightness and warmth. For mounting recommendations, the radiant outline and robust pavilion depth are ideal for traditional four prong or channel set stud designs, and the trimmed corners improve resistance to mechanical abrasion. For bezel or halo settings, the combination of excellent polish and tightly controlled symmetry will read as highly reflective and vibrant when set. At The Natural Sapphire Company we certify facet proportions and finish, and we encourage customers to consider these technical attributes when selecting settings to optimize brilliance and longevity.
