0.87 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.87 carat, transparent round sapphire presents as an orangish yellow, with dimensions of 5.42 x 5.27 x 3.69 mm, offering a face up presence that balances vivid hue with wearable size. The gem is cut to a mixed brilliant design, combining a brilliant style crown with a complementary lower facet arrangement that deepens color saturation while maintaining lively return of light. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minute and do not interrupt the gemological performance or the visual purity of the stone. Color intensity is described as intense, and the stone has an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and strong scintillation. This sapphire is from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing stones with bright, saturated tones, and the gem has undergone beryllium diffusion enhancement to achieve its vibrant orangish yellow character.

From a cutting and optical performance perspective, the mixed brilliant cut on this round sapphire is executed to maximize both color and brilliancy, with a higher pavilion depth that enhances body color, and a well faceted crown that disperses white light into flashes of brilliance. The proportions are such that the average diameter to depth ratio yields a depth around 69.0 percent, a geometry that tilts performance toward intensified face up color while preserving sufficient internal reflection for sparkle. Faceting symmetry has been calibrated to centralize the table and create even crown angles, the polish is excellent across all facet planes, and the girdle presents a consistent outline for secure setting. The clarity profile allows strong transparency and light transmission, the very very slight inclusions are effectively masked by the stone s faceting and do not detract from the uniformity of the orangish yellow tone when set into jewelry.

As a gift for someone special, this Ceylon orangish yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company makes a striking choice for its combination of precise craftsmanship and expressive color. The intense orangish yellow will read warm and cheerful in yellow or rose gold, and will offer bold contrast in white gold or platinum, giving design flexibility from classic solitaire rings to bespoke halo pendants. Because the mixed brilliant faceting produces concentrated color and lively scintillation, the sapphire will read as a vivid focal point in both intimate and statement pieces, ideal for commemorating milestones, anniversaries, or personal achievements. The beryllium diffusion enhancement used to obtain this color is stable and considered a permanent treatment under normal wear, and our gemologists can discuss the treatment and origin details further to assist in selecting a setting that preserves both beauty and integrity. For customers who appreciate technical excellence, this sapphire represents a refined balance of cutting technique, color engineering, and the distinctive Ceylon character that makes it a memorable and enduring gift.
