1.04 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.04 carat round yellowish green sapphire presents a measured balance of size, color, and clarity that translates directly into visual presence. The stone measures 5.90 x 5.90 x 3.97 mm, and the round outline combined with a mixed brilliant cut optimizes light return across the table and crown facets. Its transparent body and a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level produce a clean face up appearance, with any internal features remaining inconspicuous under normal viewing. The medium color intensity yields a distinct yellowish green character that is lively without appearing overly saturated, while the excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity and crisp facet definition. This sapphire is offered with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source noted for producing sapphires with appealing tone and natural character.

The combination of a full carat weight, near six millimeter diameter, and very slightly included clarity makes this gem particularly well suited to a statement piece, where the stone itself is intended to command attention. In a solitary setting the round silhouette and mixed brilliant cutting style will maximize scintillation under a range of lighting conditions, and the transparency ensures that the internal play of light remains the primary visual effect rather than any visible inclusions. For designs that emphasize size and brilliance, simple prong settings will allow light to enter the pavilion and showcase the stone, while low profile bezel interpretations will emphasize the gem as a wearable focal point. Provenance and treatment history are important to collectors and designers alike, and this unenhanced Ceylon sapphire carries both clarity and natural color that reflect its origin. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as an example of how measured proportions and quality factors combine to create a gemstone that functions effectively as a true statement component in fine jewelry.
