0.70 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This heart shape yellow sapphire weighs 0.70 carat and measures 4.88 x 6.29 x 3.04 mm, presenting a compact and wearable profile that retains strong optical performance. The cutter employed a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a more structured pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color return. The crown facets are precisely faceted to create lively table flashes, while the pavilion facet angles have been calibrated to enhance light return within a medium color intensity body. Clarity is graded very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which translates to an effectively eye clean appearance, allowing for uninterrupted brilliance and a clean window into the gem. Polish has been finished to an excellent standard, yielding crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet planes, and symmetry has been controlled to reinforce the heart outline and central culet alignment. No enhancement has been applied, so the yellow tone is entirely natural, and the gem is verified as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a locale known for producing sapphires with fine hue purity and balanced saturation.

When compared to famous historical gems, this Ceylon yellow sapphire occupies a distinct niche, offering natural color authenticity and gemological refinement that echoes the qualities admired in notable stones without the size driven spectacle of museum pieces. Unlike large historically famous yellow diamonds that derive their value from deep saturated canary tones and sheer scale, this sapphire excels in optical precision and proportion, qualities that recall the refined cut work of prized Ceylon sapphires in royal collections, where color clarity and cutting technique were paramount. In contrast to the heavy saturated blue sapphires celebrated in several renowned necklaces, this yellow sapphire's medium color intensity offers versatility, relating more closely to gems valued for wearability and day to day brilliance. The combination of a heart shape form, mixed brilliant faceting, eye level clean clarity, excellent polish and unenhanced origin gives this stone a unique proposition, it is a naturally colored, expertly cut specimen ready for bespoke mounting, and a piece that will pair classical gemological attributes with intimate scale. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance and craftsmanship of this gem, and we can advise on settings that preserve the optical axis and showcase the stone's natural Ceylon yellow character.
