0.98 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.98 carat radiant shape yellow sapphire presents precise proportions and refined faceting, measuring 6.55 x 4.65 x 3.36 mm. Cut in a radiant style, the stone combines the step facets of an emerald form with brilliant cutting on the crown and pavilion, producing crisp facet junctions and well controlled light return. Clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering a clean visual appearance with only minimal inclusions that do not detract from overall transparency. Color intensity is light, delivering a delicate, sunlit yellow that reads well against both white and warm metal settings, and the polish has been graded excellent, yielding smooth facet surfaces and lively scintillation. The sapphire is natural and receives no enhancement, a specification that preserves both its integrity and long term value.

Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes directly to the gemological and market significance of this sapphire. Ceylon sapphires are renowned for their balanced, often luminous color and for formation under geological conditions that favor clarity and attractive crystal habit, characteristics that are evident in this example. Provenance from Sri Lanka carries historical and contemporary recognition among connoisseurs and trade professionals, reinforcing desirability for collectors and fine jewelry designers alike. Because this stone is untreated, its Ceylon origin enhances buyer confidence in natural color and structural stability, supporting its suitability for everyday wear and for pieces where authenticity is prioritized. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin and treatment status carefully, and we present this sapphire as a measured, well cut, and naturally formed gem that performs well in small to medium settings, particularly for solitaire rings, classic three stone designs, and bespoke pieces that emphasize clarity and refined color.
