1.01 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One luminous treasure awaits the collector who recognizes true rarity, a transparent yellow sapphire weighing 1.01 carat, delivered in a perfect round shape, with dimensions of 5.71 x 5.73 x 3.91 mm. The stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize fire and return of light, and it presents an intense color intensity that stops the eye, accompanied by an excellent polish that allows each facet to sing. Clarity has been assessed as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, so this gem shows exceptional visual purity and minimal internal character that does not interrupt its brilliance. This particular sapphire has been enhanced through beryllium diffusion, a disclosed and controlled treatment that unlocks the vivid, sunlit yellow so beloved in contemporary collections, and as with all offerings from The Natural Sapphire Company, the origin and treatment of this sapphire are presented with absolute transparency.

The provenance of this gem is as important as the gem itself, and this yellow sapphire comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic and storied source of the world’s finest sapphires. Ceylon sapphires are revered for their luminous clarity and the uniquely clear, lively tones that emerge from the island’s ancient alluvial deposits, and a Ceylon origin lends a pedigree that resonates with collectors and connoisseurs alike. To own a Ceylon sapphire is to hold a piece of geological history, formed under conditions that produce exceptional crystals and colors that are distinct from other sources. When combined with the intense yellow achieved here, the Ceylon origin elevates this stone beyond mere beauty, it becomes an heirloom quality example of Sri Lankan gemcraft that conveys a cultured and refined taste.

Understanding the treatment is essential to appreciating the full story of this gem, and beryllium diffusion is a modern technique that securely and durably brings forth a vivid yellow hue, enhancing what nature has already created beneath the surface. This treatment is widely accepted in the trade when fully disclosed, and in this instance disclosure is part of our commitment at The Natural Sapphire Company to honest and expert guidance. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to emphasize the stone’s core strengths, creating a lively play of light that complements the intense color and masks the minor internal characteristics noted in the clarity grading. The excellent polish ensures that every facet contributes to a scintillating presence when set, a feature that makes this 1.01 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire suitable for singular, statement pieces or intimate, bespoke creations that demand attention.

Owning this sapphire means joining a select circle of individuals who seek distinction through provenance, beauty, and craftsmanship, a group that values the rare combination of Ceylon origin, intense color, meticulous cutting, and ethical disclosure. Because stones of this character and size are scarce, especially with such vivid color and outstanding finish, this piece should be considered a rare opportunity for customized jewelry, investment, or a once in a lifetime gift. The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to collaborate on a bespoke setting that respects the stone’s scale and personality, from elegant solitaires to modern clusters that celebrate the yellow glow. For the collector who desires exclusivity and the assurance of expert selection, this Ceylon yellow sapphire is a compelling and distinguished choice.
