1.04 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient alluvial plains of Ceylon, where rivers have long whispered tales of light and stone, this yellow sapphire began its journey as a shard of corundum, slowly crystallizing under heat and pressure over eons. Mined in Sri Lanka, a land famed for producing sapphires with lively color and fine clarity, it was carefully selected for its transparent, light yellow hue and clean eye level appearance. At 1.04 carat, and measuring 6.59 x 5.41 x 3.50 millimeters, this oval gem was entrusted to skilled cutters who revealed its inner fire with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The heat treatment applied is a traditional and stable enhancement that enhances the stone's tone and clarity while respecting its natural character. Very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone retains an open, fresh face that catches ambient light with a gentle, sunny sparkle. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this gem as an example of Sri Lankan craftsmanship and care, a piece that carries the landscape and history of Ceylon into a modern setting.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire offers enduring performance for daily wear. As a variety of corundum, sapphire ranks at nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly resistant to scratches and abrasion, qualities that are essential for rings and everyday jewelry. Its toughness resists chipping under normal wear, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return while protecting the girdle and pavilion in common mounting styles. For those who live an active life, a secure bezel or prong setting will keep this oval sapphire safe while allowing its light hue to glow against warm or cool metals. Routine care is simple, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will restore its radiance, and avoiding harsh chemicals will preserve the polish. If you seek a gemstone that tells a story from Ceylon riverbeds to the jeweler's wheel, while offering the durability to accompany you every day, this 1.04 carat yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a natural choice.
