0.82 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 0.82 carat oval shape greenish yellow sapphire rests at the heart of this offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, a gemstone that combines refined proportions with lively color and clarity. The stone measures 6.50 by 4.87 by 3.01 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance scintillation and face up brilliance, creating flashes of light that dance as it moves. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very very slightly included, which means the stone reads clean to the naked eye while retaining natural character under magnification, a quality that discerning collectors prize. Color intensity is described as intense, a saturated greenish yellow that is brighter and more vivid than the pale or washed examples often encountered in the market, and the excellent polish ensures every facet edge reflects light crisply. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance its color and clarity, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries a long history of producing some of the most sought after sapphires in the world.

Compared with other options available on the market, this greenish yellow sapphire stands out for a number of reasons. In contrast to yellow sapphires from less notable sources, Ceylon sapphires often display a complex and luminous tone, and this stone shows a unique greenish yellow nuance that is rarer than pure yellow stones, creating a color that feels both modern and timeless. When compared with other gemstones in a similar hue, such as citrine or peridot, the sapphire offers superior hardness and toughness, rated nine on the Mohs scale, which means it will resist scratches and maintain its polish through years of wear. Many lower grade sapphires exhibit heavy inclusions, dull polish, or weak color saturation, and those shortcomings reduce both beauty and longevity, whereas this example pairs intense color with excellent polish and a cut designed to maximize brilliance, offering a higher level of visual impact for the size. Heat treatment is industry standard, producing reliable, stable color enhancement, and when done with care it preserves the stone’s durability and natural charm, which is a better long term value proposition than untreated stones that are weakly colored or heavily included.

The qualities of this sapphire make it an ideal candidate to become a generational heirloom piece, an object of significance that will be passed from one generation to the next. The inherent durability of corundum ensures the gem will endure daily wear, while the cut and polish protect and enhance its light performance for decades. Beyond physical resilience, the stone’s provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka and its visually distinct greenish yellow tone create a story that can be told and retold, turning a beautiful object into a family narrative tied to place and care. An heirloom follows thoughtful design and craftsmanship, and this sapphire is perfectly suited to be set in classic designs that stand the test of fashion, such as a solitaire ring for a milestone engagement, a refined pendant worn across generations, or a three stone ring that symbolizes family continuity. Protective settings like a bezel or low profile halo can safeguard the stone during everyday life, while more open settings can showcase its brilliance for occasional wear. Regular professional cleaning and an occasional check of the mounting will keep the piece ready to be handed down, and an accompanying record of origin and treatment will preserve provenance and value through the years.
