0.72 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 0.72 carat transparent yellow sapphire presented by The Natural Sapphire Company is an exquisite specimen that embodies the elegance and rich history of Ceylonese gemstones. This round-shaped sapphire, with dimensions 5.57 x 5.55 x 3.22 mm, features a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize the interplay of light within the gem. The precise cut reflects the expertise and attention to detail inherent in the craftsmanship, ensuring superior light return that enhances its light color intensity.

When examining the hue and tone of this yellow sapphire, one finds a delicate balance reminiscent of the famed citrine stones found in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, yet with a distinctive sunshine-like glow that is uniquely Ceylon. The gem boasts a light color intensity, offering a softer, more subdued yellow compared to the intense saturation often associated with yellow diamonds from Kimberley, South Africa. This subtlety in color, coupled with the inherent clarity of the very very slightly included grade, allows for exceptional brilliance and transparency, positioning it in a class of its own among global gemstones.

Ceylon sapphires have long been celebrated for their clarity and the gentle warmth of their hues. The yellow sapphire in question stands as a testament to this legacy, maintaining exceptional clarity that is evaluated to be very very slightly included, a hallmark of superior quality in gemstones. This clarity ensures an unblemished viewing experience, uninterrupted by eye-visible inclusions. Its polish is excellent, further enhancing the stone's optical performance, allowing it to serve as a breathtaking centerpiece for any fine jewelry creation.

In comparison to other renowned sources, such as the more saturated Padparadscha sapphires of Madagascar, this Ceylon sapphire's lighter color exhibits a grace that is preferred by collectors who seek understated elegance. The Natural Sapphire Company prides itself on sourcing only the finest gems, and this piece is a quintessential choice for the connoisseur who values meticulous craftsmanship and the storied history of Ceylonese sapphires. Its rarity and exquisite attributes exemplify our commitment to providing gemstones that are not only beautiful but also deeply connected to their origins.
