0.81 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.81 carat oval yellow sapphire presents a study in precise proportion and optical control, with dimensions of 5.58 by 4.65 by 3.71 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that marries faceting concepts from both step and brilliant traditions, producing a balance of scintillation and size retention. The mixed brilliant faceting concentrates numerous small pavilion and crown facets to enhance return of light while preserving the natural color, and the oval outline increases apparent spread on the finger. The material is transparent with a very light color intensity that reads as a delicate, sunny yellow under white light, and clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, indicating only minimal internal features that do not interrupt the overall visual performance. Surface finishing is excellent, the polish allowing crisp facet junctions and lively facet contrast, and the stone is entirely natural with no enhancement, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for well formed crystals and reliable color profiles.

Owning this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company represents an investment in both beauty and disciplined lapidary craft, because the value of an untreated Ceylon stone lies in its provenance, its stable natural color, and the cutter decisions that optimize light behavior without relying on post mining treatments. The mixed brilliant cut applied here was chosen to maximize return of light for a very light yellow tone, offering strong face up brilliance while maintaining weight and proportions suitable for bespoke settings. From a technical collecting perspective this gem is attractive due to its combination of transparency, minimal inclusions, and superior polish, attributes that support long term desirability and market stability. For gem connoisseurs and jewellery designers who appreciate measurable craftsmanship, this sapphire offers a refined palette for color matching, predictable wear performance due to corundum hardness, and the reassurance of an untreated origin, qualities that together frame this piece as a considered acquisition in both aesthetic and investment terms.
