0.97 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 0.97 carat pear shape yellow sapphire, with dimensions 7.92 by 5.23 by 3.26 mm, presents a refined balance of size and presence that suits both refined engagement settings and striking pendant designs. Cut as a mixed brilliant, this sapphire combines the scintillation of brilliant facets with thoughtful pavilion cutting to maximize fire and return of light. Its clarity grade reads very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the gem appears clean and lively to the naked eye while retaining the natural character and durability that collectors and jewellers prize. The stone shows a light color intensity that conveys a delicate, champagne to lemon nuance, and it is finished with an excellent polish so each facet sparkles crisply. Importantly this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, so the color and clarity you see are wholly natural and stable, a trait that will impress anyone comparing treated alternatives in the marketplace.

When you measure this sapphire against other yellow gems on the market the advantages become tangible. Many yellow sapphires offered at lower price points are heat treated to intensify hue, or they are diffusion treated to alter surface color, and while these methods can yield attractive results they compromise rarity and long term value. This Ceylon sapphire by contrast is completely untreated, which places it in a smaller, more desirable category. Compared with yellow zircons, citrines, or topazes of similar appearance, an untreated sapphire offers greater hardness and longevity, so it resists scratches and maintains polish through everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut used here outperforms many step cuts and simplistic faceting schemes common in commercial stones, because it deliberately enhances the stone s brilliance while preserving table size and the elegant pear silhouette. At just under one carat the proportions of 7.92 by 5.23 by 3.26 mm provide an elongated look on the finger that flatters the hand more than many round stones, and the pear shape alone reads as both classic and contemporary depending on metal choice and setting, offering better design flexibility than many other fancy cuts.

The Ceylon Sri Lanka origin of this sapphire is a defining element of its story and value. Sri Lanka has been a source of world class sapphires for centuries, and stones from Ceylon are known for their lively, luminous tones and excellent transparency. While the island is famed for cornflower blue sapphires, its alluvial deposits also yield fine quality yellow sapphires that combine clarity with a soft, sunlit color that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Origin adds provenance and desirability, particularly for buyers who value traceable and historically respected sources. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document and verify origins for our special pieces, and this assurance of Ceylon provenance enhances both emotional and monetary value when compared with anonymous or mass market gems. Our expertise ensures that what you hold is a natural, unenhanced sapphire with excellent polish and a rare combination of eye clean clarity and delicate color.

Choosing this untreated Ceylon pear shape yellow sapphire means selecting a gem that stands apart from treated stones, synthetic alternatives, and other yellow gems that lack the same combination of physical robustness, resale potential, and provenance. The very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level gives you the clean appearance buyers expect, while the excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut maximize scintillation and wearer appeal. Because it is natural and unenhanced its color will remain stable for generations and it will retain market desirability more reliably than treated equivalents. Whether you prefer the warm glow of yellow gold to emphasize the hue, the modern contrast of white gold or platinum for a cooler look, or the romantic combination of rose gold to enrich the champagne tones, this stone adapts beautifully and elevates custom settings. If you are comparing options for engagement jewellery, a distinctive everyday piece, or a collectible gem that reflects provenance, craftsmanship, and natural beauty, this 0.97 carat Ceylon pear shape yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a superior choice in quality, value, and uniqueness.
