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

From a whisper of heat and pressure deep beneath the ancient highlands of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this yellowish green sapphire was born, a story of time and earth captured in a single, shimmering crystal. Hand collected with respect for the land and the communities who have worked these mines for generations, the rough stone carried within it a promise of clarity and color. Skilled hands at our partner cutting houses recognized that promise, and shaped the gem into an elegant emerald cut to reveal the depth of its hue. Weighing 0.79 carat, and measuring 5.54 by 4.54 by 3.18 millimeters, this sapphire displays an intense color intensity that catches light with the calm, architectural grace of step facets. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, yet those tiny natural signatures live quietly within the stone, affirming its natural origin. The finish is an excellent polish, the surface clean and bright, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a pure expression of Ceylon geology verified by our team at The Natural Sapphire Company.

The journey from rough to finished gem is a careful choreography of stone and cutter, each decision tuned to the material temperament of the sapphire. The emerald cut was chosen to emphasize the yellowish green character while allowing a serene interplay of light and shadow across broad facets, producing a mirror like flash that changes as the gem moves. At 0.79 carat the gem sits comfortably as a refined centrepiece, but its dimensions mean it also breathes beautifully when set low and close to the hand, or when mounted to catch light from above. The very slightly included clarity grade speaks to the gem s authenticity and natural origin, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge whispers cleanly to the next, giving a precise, modern silhouette. Because there has been no heat or other enhancement, the color and structure are wholly natural, ideal for collectors and bespoke clients who value untreated gemstones. The tactile weight, the way the stone flashes a warm green with yellow undertone, makes it a particularly enchanting choice for someone seeking a distinctive but wearable jewel.

As a gemstone for customization, this emerald cut yellowish green sapphire offers extraordinary versatility, and with The Natural Sapphire Company you can explore many settings to express personal style and purpose. For an engagement ring, the stone is alluring as a solitaire set in a rectangular bezel to protect the corners, or in a four prong profile that allows maximum light. A delicate halo of diamonds in a micro prong setting will amplify the gem s presence and add scintillation, while a vintage inspired split shoulder or milgrain band will bring a timeless elegance to its modern step cut. For everyday wear, a low profile bezel or bar set in warm yellow gold will complement the yellowish green tones and provide durability. If a contemporary look is desired, a tension setting or a sleek platinum bezel creates a minimal, architectural statement. This sapphire also lends itself beautifully to non ring designs, as the center of a pendant, paired as a matching set for stud or drop earrings, or as the focal point of a slim bracelet link. Consider accent stones such as small brilliant cut white diamonds for contrast, or sapphires in complementary blues and greens for a tonal suite, and for a bolder palette include warm rose gold to enhance the yellow notes. For bespoke commissions, our design team can produce sketches and CAD renderings, advise on prong sizes and metal choices to balance security with visibility, and recommend setting styles that preserve the gem s natural integrity while achieving the desired aesthetic.

Every commission with The Natural Sapphire Company begins with conversation, where we listen to how you imagine wearing the gem, and offer options that honor both the sapphire s story and your lifestyle. Whether you envision a petite, everyday piece that slips easily between the fingers, or a signature ring that announces your individuality, this 0.79 carat emerald cut yellowish green sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka can be crafted into a jewel that feels both personal and enduring. If you would like guidance on ring profiles, band widths, accent stones, or metal pairings, our specialists are ready to explore handmade and factory produced possibilities, to ensure the final setting enhances the gem s intense color, showcases the excellent polish, and secures the stone s natural beauty for generations to come.
