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

This beautifully transparent, Other certified, yellowish green sapphire is a rare and refined choice for an engagement gemstone, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Weighing 0.80 carat, with precise dimensions of 7.30 by 4.41 by 3.35 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned into a tasteful fancy shape with a mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant cut is engineered to maximize scintillation along the crown facets while maintaining a pleasing outline for a ring mount, and the excellent polish enhances the surface reflections to produce crisp, lively sparkle. This sapphire shows a medium color intensity, which presents a vivid, yet wearable, yellowish green tone that reads as both lively and elegant in natural light. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from visual appeal when set and viewed in everyday situations. The gem carries no enhancement, which means the color and clarity are wholly natural, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing sapphires with lively hues and trustworthy provenance.

When assessing gemstones for engagement use, clarity and cut are two fundamentals that determine both beauty and value, and this sapphire performs strongly on both counts. The clarity grading of very very slightly included at eye level reflects a stone whose internal characteristics are minor, and which will appear clean to the naked eye in most viewing conditions. For an educated buyer, that translates to confidence that the gem will present as bright and unfettered in everyday wear, while retaining natural features that confirm authenticity. The mixed brilliant cut is an intelligent choice for this fancy shape, because it balances light return with a well defined face up appearance. The crown facets catch and return light as flashes of brilliance, while the pavilion faceting pattern contributes depth and life. The excellent polish indicates that each facet was carefully finished, reducing surface diffusion and promoting crispness in reflected light. Taken together, these attributes support both aesthetic appeal and long term resale value.

Color is the principal driver of desirability in colored gemstones, and the yellowish green hue of this sapphire is both distinctive and versatile. The medium color intensity means the saturation is substantial enough to be noticed distinctly, while remaining bright and adaptable for daily jewelry. This tone is typically produced by trace amounts of iron within the corundum lattice, and in the case of Ceylon sapphires the color often shows a lively, slightly warm cast that flatters a wide range of skin tones. Ceylon Sri Lanka is renowned for producing sapphires with clarity and a lively, transparent appearance, qualities that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Because this gemstone has not been treated, the hue and saturation you see are the natural result of geological processes, a factor that many educated buyers value highly. The yellowish green color also provides unique design opportunities, pairing beautifully with yellow gold for a warm, seamless look, or with white metals for a contemporary contrast.

Durability and wearability are essential for an engagement gem, and sapphire is an outstanding choice for rings that will be worn every day. As corundum, sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which gives it strong resistance to scratches and abrasion. This makes it suitable for a range of settings and lifestyles, from active wear to more formal use. The stone dimensions and mixed brilliant cut are well suited to classic solitaire settings, three stone designs, or a halo configuration that will amplify its presence without overwhelming the delicate 0.80 carat weight. For additional protection and a sleek silhouette, bezel or partially bezel settings can be selected, and for maximal vintage or designer flair, fine milgrain or split shank details work exceptionally well. Metal choices will influence the perceived color, with yellow and rose gold accentuating warm undertones, and platinum or white gold presenting a modern, crisp appearance that can make the green notes read slightly cooler and more vivid.
