0.85 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.85 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a refined balance of size and brilliance, with precise dimensions of 5.24 x 5.17 x 3.47 mm. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this stone maximizes light return through a modern pavillion and faceting plan while retaining the soft, romantic silhouette of a cushion. The clarity is graded slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning that microscopic mineral features are present yet do not significantly detract from transparency or scintillation when set. The light color intensity delivers a delicate, buttery yellow tone that reads as warm and elegant rather than overpowering, making it particularly versatile for daily wear and for pairing with a variety of metals. The polish has been finished to an excellent standard, producing a smooth, reflective surface that enhances face up brightness. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and it originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with pleasing tones and strong crystalline quality. At The Natural Sapphire Company we verify origin and treatment through careful gemological assessment, and we present this stone as a responsibly sourced, high integrity option.

For an engagement ring, this cushion yellow sapphire is an exceptional alternative to more conventional choices, combining rarity, durability, and character. As a corundum, sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs scale, offering the toughness required for everyday wear and for a lifetime of handling. The subtle light yellow color provides a warm, optimistic expression that symbolizes joy and a sunny commitment, while the cushion shape lends a vintage yet contemporary elegance that flatters many finger shapes. A mixed brilliant cut enhances fire and sparkle, so even with slightly included clarity the overall performance in a halo or solitaire setting will be lively and attractive. Consider pairing this gem with yellow or rose gold to enrich its warmth, or with platinum or white gold for a crisp, modern contrast that makes the color pop. The dimensions and weight make it suitable for both classic solitaire designs and more elaborate halos that increase apparent size and presence without compromising the stone s natural beauty. This Ceylon yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an ideal engagement choice for an educated buyer seeking an authentic, untreated gemstone that offers enduring beauty, proven durability, and ethical sourcing.
