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

For collectors who appreciate stones with a story, these paired yellow sapphires offer a bridge between ancient gemstone lore and modern design. Hailing from the celebrated deposits of Ceylon Sri Lanka, these sapphires carry the warm legacy of an island whose gems were traded by mariners and prized by royalty for centuries. Each stone is an oval mixed brilliant cut, weighing 3.55 carats and 3.62 carats respectively, with measurements of 9.61 by 7.81 by 5.67 millimeters and 9.79 by 7.70 by 5.88 millimeters. The cutting style balances scintillation with a broad face up presence, as the mixed brilliant proportions allow for flashes of light that reveal the vivid yellow hue with remarkable clarity. Both stones are graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and they exhibit an excellent polish that enhances their lively color intensity. In the spirit of full transparency, these sapphires have undergone beryllium diffusion, a recognized treatment that enhances tone and saturation, and this disclosure is an integral part of their documented provenance.

The timeless appeal of yellow sapphire makes this pair especially versatile for customization, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in transforming historic inspiration into contemporary jewelry. As a matched pair they are ideal for classic stud earrings, where the oval shape and mixed brilliant facets will present a regal, symmetrical face to the wearer. For those who favor vintage or heirloom aesthetics, these stones are perfect for a pair of bezel set studs with milgrain detail, or for a twin halo design that echoes antique rings from bygone eras. If you prefer pendants, the stones can be set individually in simple prong settings to let the color sing, or combined in a drop pendant for a graceful, old world inspired look. Couples seeking coordinated pieces may choose a matching pendant and set of studs, or a three stone ring accentuated with these sapphires flanking a central diamond or colored gem to echo classical trilogy motifs. Because they are closely matched in weight and proportions, they also adapt well to mirrored designs such as cufflinks or custom brooches, as well as to designer creations that pair warm yellow sapphires with contrasting stones for modern, spirited arrangements.

Customization at The Natural Sapphire Company is guided by both gemological knowledge and an appreciation for design traditions, ensuring each commission becomes a lasting legacy. Our bench master jewelers can adapt these sapphires to a broad palette of metal choices, with yellow gold amplifying their sunlight warmth, rose gold lending a romantic glow, and platinum providing a striking cool contrast that highlights clarity and brilliance. We offer a variety of setting styles, from low profile four prong mounts for everyday comfort, to cathedral and halo constructions that elevate presence and create vintage silhouettes. For clients interested in bespoke engraving, filigree, or period specific motifs, these stones serve as the foundation for a jewelry piece that can be handed down through generations. We also provide gemological documentation and careful disclosure of the beryllium diffusion treatment, because preserving the trust between our clients and our craft is as important as preserving the stones themselves. If you would like these sapphires recut to exact specifications, matched further for exact symmetry, or paired with center stones and accents to create a truly unique commission, our design team is ready to consult with you, offering sketches and wax models to bring your vision to life with the same reverence for history and detail that has guided gemstone work for centuries.
