0.91 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional round yellow sapphire from Ceylon weighs 0.91 carats, a weight that sits beautifully between a dainty accent stone and a full carat, offering a premium presence without the premium price of a larger gem. The dimensions of 5.71 by 5.76 by 3.40 millimeters give this gem an ideal face up spread and excellent wearability in a wide range of settings, from delicate solitaires to halo or three stone rings. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and light return, and the excellent polish enhances every facet edge for crisp sparkle. Eye clean at a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, this sapphire reads as transparent and clean to the naked eye, allowing the medium intense yellow color to glow without distraction from noticeable inclusions. Origin Ceylon imparts a classic, sought after character to the color, and our disclosure that the stone has been beryllium diffused reflects The Natural Sapphire Company commitment to full transparency.

When comparing this 0.91 carat yellow sapphire to other options on the market, the balance of carat weight, color intensity, clarity, and cut offers clear advantages. Smaller yellow sapphires under half a carat can appear less impactful once set, and they often require higher grade color or additional accent stones to achieve a similar visual presence. Larger sapphires above one carat can command steep premiums, especially when they combine strong color and eye clean clarity, and the price per carat rises disproportionately. This particular stone delivers near one carat face up presence with a finely tuned mixed brilliant cut that creates lively flashes of light, outperforming many cheaper or poorly cut stones that appear dull even at higher weights. Compared to other yellow gems commonly used in jewelry, such as citrine or yellow topaz, this sapphire offers superior hardness and resilience, ensuring the gem retains its polished facets and bright face up color for everyday wear.

Treatment and origin are essential factors in value and selection, and compared to undisclosed or unstable enhancements on the marketplace, the honest disclosure of beryllium diffusion and Sri Lankan origin sets this sapphire apart. Beryllium diffusion is a treatment that can produce vivid, evenly distributed yellow tones that might be otherwise rare or inconsistent in natural material, and when properly disclosed it allows buyers to choose a stronger, more uniform color with confidence. Many market stones either lack disclosure or come from mixed origins with unknown histories, which can affect long term value and buyer trust. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their clarity and lively colors, and even with diffusion, a Ceylon origin imparts a desirable provenance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pair each stone with transparent information about its treatment, optical characteristics, and measurements, so you know exactly what you are buying and how it compares to untreated or differently treated material.

From a practical and stylistic perspective, a 0.91 carat round yellow sapphire with these dimensions and finish is a versatile, premium choice that elevates both classic and contemporary designs. The medium intense yellow works beautifully as a warm, sunny center in an engagement ring, or as a complementary accent in a vintage inspired piece, and the durable sapphire hardness provides clear advantages over softer yellow stones that scratch more easily. Compared to similarly colored diamonds, this sapphire offers compelling color at a fraction of the cost, and compared to lab created alternatives, it retains the natural origin story that many collectors and collectors appreciate. When you choose a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you gain access to our gemological expertise, careful sourcing practices, and personalized service that can help you match the stone to the perfect setting, confirm certification, and plan any custom work.
