0.55 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present an exquisite gemstone that is a testament to superb craftsmanship and nature's brilliance. This transparent cushion-shaped orangish yellow sapphire, weighing 0.55 carats, stands out in the realm of colored gemstones due to its unique characteristics. With dimensions of 4.78 by 4.72 by 2.97 millimeters, this sapphire is meticulously crafted with a mixed brilliant cut. Such a cut not only enhances the stone's visual appeal by optimally reflecting light but also accentuates the vibrant color that is characteristic of high-quality sapphires originating from the renowned gem-producing region of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka.

When comparing reflective qualities within its gemstone class, this sapphire's mixed brilliant cut is designed to maximize brilliance through its faceting style. By employing both stepped facets of a brilliant cut and the precise angles of a cushion shape, light is efficiently returned to the eye, creating a dance of dazzling sparkles across the surface of the stone. This facet arrangement is particularly effective in highlighting the orangish yellow hue, a product of its vivid color intensity, which is of considerable interest to connoisseurs who appreciate not just the color, but how different faceting styles can reflect that color to full effect. The expertly executed excellent polish ensures an unparalleled luster, allowing for crisp reflections that are often perceived as superior to other gemstones that might lack such meticulous attention to detail in the crafting process.

In terms of color, the vibrant orangish yellow of this sapphire sets it apart from other gems that may possess subtler tones. The stone’s vivid color intensity is indicative of a masterful balance between saturation and hue. This permits the gemstone to stand out under a variety of lighting conditions, much brighter and more intense due to the absence of overtones that might otherwise mute its brilliance. When placed alongside other sapphires, or indeed other colored stones, the intensity and clarity of this gem make it a distinctive choice within its category. The clarity grade of very slightly included speaks to the sophistication in its sourcing and cutting, ensuring that inclusions are minimal and do not impede the stone's overall beauty or reflective qualities.

Ceylon, the origin of this gem, has historically been lauded for its ability to produce stones with superior quality and distinctiveness. What sets The Natural Sapphire Company apart is our commitment to sourcing the finest specimens that this region has to offer. The expertise and dedication involved in the cutting and polishing of this sapphire contribute significantly to its alluring appearance, demonstrating why Sri Lankan sapphires remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

In summary, this exquisite orangish yellow sapphire embodies a blend of tradition, beauty, and technical prowess. The cushion shape enhances the mixed brilliant cut, creating a gemstone that is rich with luster and full of life.
