1.02 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous expression of refined taste, this transparent 1.02 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is the sort of gemstone that announces itself as both heirloom and statement. Precisely measured at 6.62 by 5.60 by 3.80 millimeters, and fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, it delivers an engaging play of light across a medium intensity yellow that reads as warm lemon gold in daylight, and as a richer, honeyed glow under evening light. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, with an excellent polish, this gem presents a pristine face up appearance that allows its color and scintillation to take center stage. Heat treatment, a standard and stable enhancement, has been applied to optimize clarity and color, and reflects our commitment at The Natural Sapphire Company to present stones that marry natural beauty with enduring performance.

This sapphire’s cushion silhouette and one carat scale make it uniquely ideal for custom jewelry, a sweet spot where presence and wearability meet. Its dimensions and 3.80 millimeter depth offer a balanced profile for a solitaire ring that sits comfortably on the hand, while the generous face-up area and mixed brilliant faceting deliver the fire and brilliance that complement pavé halos or bespoke three-stone settings. For a pendant, the stone reads as quietly luxurious, suspended to catch light with every turn, and for a pair of custom earrings, matched companions can be crafted to mirror its warmth. The cushion cut’s soft corners and ample table invite creative mounting choices, from an elegant four-prong setting that showcases the gem’s full table, to a low-profile bezel for daily wear, and to contrasting metals such as warm 18 karat yellow gold or cool platinum for a consciously curated aesthetic.

Owning this Ceylon yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an affirmation of cultivated taste and considered luxury, a jewel selected with discernment that performs beautifully in imagined and realized designs alike. If you seek a centrepiece that is both wearable and emblematic, this stone offers the ideal combination of size, shape, and finishing quality for a bespoke creation that will be cherished for generations.
