1.01 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a drop of sunrise into a ring, a jewel that promises to make ordinary mornings feel like celebrations, a treasure that lifts the spirit every time it catches the eye. This is a 1.01 carat oval yellowish orange sapphire from the storied soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a stone that carries with it the warmth of tropical light and the quiet drama of ancient geology. At 6.77 by 5.52 by 3.16 millimeters, its proportions are perfectly balanced for both intimate settings and bold designs, and the mixed brilliant cut gives it a modern pulse that plays with light in a lively conversation. The gem is transparent, it has been graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and its intense color intensity ensures that its hue is never shy, it commands attention with a golden orange glow that seems to hum with happiness. Treated by lattice diffusion to enhance and stabilize its vibrant color, and finished with an excellent polish, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company feels as though it was made to be worn for moments that matter, from proposals to anniversaries, from gifts that celebrate new beginnings to heirlooms that will be whispered about decades from now.

Hold this oval sapphire close and you begin to notice the quiet choreography of its facets, how every angle has been shaped to coax joy from the light. The mixed brilliant cut blends the best of round style sparkle with an elongated oval silhouette, so when it is set as the centerpiece of a ring or a pendant it will sparkle with a scintillation that looks effortless and refined. Because the clarity is very very slightly included at eye level, the stone reads as clean and pure to the naked eye, with any natural character remaining subtle, a reminder that this is a living treasure formed deep in the earth. The excellent polish translates into a mirror like surface that invites touch and reflection, and it makes metalwork around the stone come alive when mounted. Lattice diffusion has been used to intensify the already enchanting yellowish orange hue, a method that brings forward the best aspects of the sapphire while preserving its natural charm and provenance. Origin matters, and Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is known for sapphires with a luminous, honey like glow, and this gem bears that lineage proudly, making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants a gem that is both technically admirable and emotionally resonant.

The way this sapphire responds to different lighting conditions is part of its magic, and it will reward the wearer with a small performance every time the light changes. In bright direct sunlight the intense color intensity bursts forth, the yellowish orange taking on a living brilliance, the facets throwing back sharp, sunlit flashes that read as golden fire, and the stone appears to glow from within as the mixed brilliant cut scatters light with crisp, lively sparkle. Under cool daylight or overcast skies the hue becomes slightly more golden, a regal honey tone that feels effortless and wearable, and the clarity and polish reveal a calm, refined brilliance that suits daytime elegance and understated luxury. When you move into warm incandescent light or candlelight the orange undertones deepen, producing a rich sunset warmth that feels intimate and romantic, perfect for evening occasions or quiet moments with someone you love. In LED lighting and fluorescent interiors the gem keeps its clarity and brilliance, the polish ensuring clean flashes of light, and its intense color remains striking without appearing harsh, making it a confident choice for modern, everyday wear. Twilight and softer ambient lighting coax a different temperament from the stone, a gentle, glowing presence that catches secondary flashes and offers a soft shimmer, an emotional anchor for memories made after sundown.

This 1.01 carat, oval, yellowish orange sapphire, with dimensions of 6.77 by 5.52 by 3.16 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, very very slightly included clarity at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, lattice diffusion enhancement, and a proud origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is a rare combination of technical excellence and emotional resonance.
