1.00 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent yellow sapphire presents as a precise 1.00 carat round gem, measuring 5.98 by 6.00 by 3.59 mm. The stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that balances light return and table presence, and it exhibits a light color intensity with even tone and attractive lemon hues. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the surface shows an excellent polish that enhances brilliance and visual appeal. The sapphire has been heat treated to gently improve color and clarity, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing gemstones with appealing tone and strong market recognition.

As a material for a generational heirloom, this sapphire benefits from inherent physical and aesthetic attributes that support long term wear and preservation. Sapphire ranks at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, offering excellent resistance to scratching and daily wear compared with softer gemstones. The durable mixed brilliant cut and superior polish will maintain its brilliance through ordinary use, while the modest one carat weight and classic round shape provide versatility for many settings and styles, from solitaire engagement rings to pendant or study pieces kept as legacy items. A well considered setting, such as a protective bezel for active wearers or a secure prong mount that maximizes light for display, will protect the girdle and pavilion and further extend the stone s lifespan across generations.

The Natural Sapphire Company provides detailed gemological information and sourcing context to accompany this sapphire, supporting informed decisions about mounting, care, and long term stewardship. Routine professional inspections, periodic ultrasonic or steam cleaning when appropriate, and avoidance of harsh chemicals and sudden high temperature exposure are recommended to preserve the stone s condition, noting that standard heat treatment is stable under normal care. When set in a quality precious metal and maintained conservatively, this Ceylon yellow sapphire will retain its color, polish, and structural integrity, allowing it to be passed from one generation to the next as a documented, wearable asset and a meaningful family heirloom.
