1.03 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A quietly noble example of Ceylonese gem tradition, this transparent greenish yellow sapphire weighs 1.03 carat and is presented in a classic round shape with dimensions of 6.14 x 6.15 x 3.54 millimeters. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, the stone carries a light color intensity and a clarity described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. Originating from Sri Lanka, the gem has been gently heat treated to deepen and stabilize its delicate tone, a practice long used by master cutters to reveal the enduring beauty that Ceylon sapphires have conveyed across centuries. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer this timeless stone, whose restrained green yellow hue and well balanced proportions recall the refined palettes favored in antique jewelry, appealing to those who revere continuity and heritage.

The mixed brilliant cut is key to this sapphire’s luminous presence, marrying the scintillating return of brilliant facets with the elegant planes of a step influenced pavilion to create a harmonious play of light. The careful arrangement of crown facets and a well sized table allows light to enter, disperse into subtle flashes, and emerge with both brilliance and a soft, vintage inspired glow. The pavilion facets, cut to return light with maximum sparkle, work together with the shallow, slightly more than half diameter depth to promote lively reflection and scintillation across the face of the gem. Excellent polish ensures each facet acts as a mirror, enhancing both fire and lustre while minimizing any loss of light through surface irregularities. For a discerning wearer seeking a piece that reads as both ancient and contemporary, this 1.03 carat Ceylon sapphire embodies a legacy of refinement, offering a lasting connection to gemcutting traditions and the enduring romance of natural color.
