0.45 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 0.45 carat oval sapphire from Ceylon carries with it a quiet sense of history and a timeless elegance that speaks to collectors who value legacy, provenance, and enduring beauty. The stone measures 5.12 by 4.14 by 2.28 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut offers lively scintillation that complements the medium intense yellowish orange hue. At eye level the clarity is very slightly included, which lends a natural authenticity to the gem while maintaining excellent transparency and a superior polish that enhances its table and pavilion facets. Sapphires from Sri Lanka have been treasured for centuries, admired by royal courts and craftsmen alike for their warmth and durability, and this sapphire echoes that lineage with a color and cut that make it as suitable for a delicate solitaire as it is for a classic three stone setting.
