0.86 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a truly rare gemstone to mark a milestone or to complete a fine jewelry collection, this transparent 0.86 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire from Ceylon offers a solution that ends your search. Many customers come to us wanting something that is both elegant enough for an engagement ring and distinct enough to be treasured as a collector piece, and this sapphire answers both needs. The Natural Sapphire Company presents a gem that balances refined proportions and natural character, with measurements of 5.87 x 5.13 x 3.15 mm that place it in a sweet spot between dainty and wearable, making it ideal for a solitaire, a halo setting, or a custom design that emphasizes its warm hue. The cushion shape and the mixed brilliant cut give the stone a timeless silhouette and an active sparkle, so it reads beautifully in the hand and on the finger, catching light with a lively brilliance that belies its faint color intensity at first glance.

Beyond its pleasing dimensions, what sets this yellow sapphire apart is its rarity in both size and color when compared to similar options on the market. Many yellow sapphires of comparable size are often heat treated or filled to enhance color and clarity, or they come from sources with more consistent but less interesting tones. This sapphire, by contrast, is completely natural with no enhancement, and it comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with delicate and nuanced color profiles. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the naked eye it presents as clean and transparent, while still retaining the natural fingerprint that collectors and connoisseurs prize. The faint color intensity makes it versatile, allowing it to pair beautifully with both cool and warm metals, and the excellent polish ensures a refined finish that maximizes light return from the mixed brilliant cut facets. For those who seek a rare, untreated sapphire with balanced size, genuine provenance, and a naturally occurring yellow hue, this gem is a standout choice.

Choosing this sapphire promises satisfaction for customers who want a unique piece that feels personal and authentic. If your priority is a stone that will endure both in style and value, this Ceylon yellow sapphire offers provenance, natural state, and proportions that lend themselves to many design directions, from classic engagement rings to bespoke pendants, or as the rare center of a collector cabinet. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that rare gemstones are about more than measurements and grades, they are about the story you want to tell, and this gem tells a story of natural beauty, careful cutting, and responsible sourcing. If you want a gemstone that will stop your search, a sapphire that is both a conversation starter and a lifelong companion, this 0.86 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire provides that rare combination of size, color, clarity, and origin.
