0.77 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As a gem specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company I am pleased to present a transparent 0.77 carat, oval shape, yellowish green sapphire, with exact dimensions of 6.22 x 4.84 x 2.93 mm. The gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a scintillating brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a carefully modified pavilion geometry to optimize light return and dispersion. The overall proportions yield an approximate depth of 53 percent, a range that balances face up spread with depth driven brilliance, producing a lively play of light without sacrificing color saturation. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with internal characteristics that are consistent with natural origin and that do not compromise structural integrity. The color intensity is described as intense, presenting a well saturated yellowish green tone that reads vivid in both direct and diffused light. Polish is excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and smooth facet planes that enhance mirrorlike reflections across the table and facets. Crucially this sapphire is unenhanced, no treatments have been applied, and the gem is documented as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with fine transparency and classic island tones.

From a heritage perspective this piece resonates with a long tradition of Sri Lankan sapphires being used in ceremonial and personal jewelry, from signet gems to pendant stones, where durability and unmistakable color were prized. Historically Ceylon sapphires were set into regal rings and amulets, valued for their clarity and luminous color, attributes clearly present in this stone. For contemporary application the oval outline and mixed brilliant faceting make this gem exceptionally versatile, suitable for a refined solitaire ring setting to emphasize face up color, a delicate halo design to enhance perceived size and fire, or a bespoke three stone layout where the center sapphire retains primacy. The slightly included clarity grade and excellent polish make secure prong settings or low profile bezels appropriate, depending on design priorities. If you would like assistance with setting options, custom design, or independent certification, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide gemological advice and bespoke mounting services to ensure the finished jewel fully honors the stone quality and its Ceylon heritage.
