1.04 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a pocket of sunshine, a gem that seems to smile when the light catches it, a jewel that promises to turn ordinary moments into memories that glow. This is a transparent 1.04 carat yellow sapphire, presented in a graceful oval shape with dimensions of 6.29 by 5.11 by 3.87 millimeters, cut with a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and life. The tone is a warm, inviting yellow of medium color intensity, polished to an excellent finish so every facet sings, and the clarity has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone appears beautifully clean to the eye while retaining the character that makes natural gems so treasured. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire arrives with no enhancement, a pure expression of nature ready to become a symbol of affection, a token of celebration, or an heirloom to pass from one generation to the next.

Beyond the poetry of color and light, this sapphire is built to accompany life without asking for special treatment. Sapphire is corundum, which means it ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and that hardness brings a practical resilience against scratching during daily wear. The mixed brilliant cut enhances durability by distributing light and stress across many well finished facets, and the excellent polish reduces the chance of catching or wear on edges. The very very slightly included clarity grade, assessed at eye level, indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not compromise strength or beauty in normal use. With care that is straightforward and reasonable, such as avoiding hard knocks and removing the piece for heavy impact work, this sapphire will endure as a constant companion, brightening rings, pendants, or bracelets with reliable poise.

Choosing an unenhanced Ceylon sapphire means choosing authenticity and long term stability, because this stone displays its natural color and structural integrity without any treatments. Ceylon, Sri Lanka has been renowned for producing sapphires that combine lively color with fine crystal structure, and this gem is a classic example of that heritage. The medium color intensity offers versatility, blending effortlessly with warm or cool metals and harmonizing with diamonds or colored gemstones if you prefer a more elaborate setting. The mixed brilliant cut creates scintillation and depth so the stone communicates joy from every angle, while the natural unenhanced status means the color will not rely on artificial intervention to stay true over years of wear. For a gift that speaks of honest devotion, for an engagement ring that makes promises feel eternal, for a personal treat that marks a milestone, this sapphire holds the story of its origin and the quiet strength to live many shared moments.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in presenting gems that are as enduring as the emotions they represent, and this 1.04 carat yellow sapphire is an invitation to create a luminous story. Imagine a bezel set ring that frames the oval like a sunrise, a delicate pendant that layers with daily outfits, or a three stone design that pairs this warm yellow with white diamonds for contrast and brilliance. Maintenance is simple and gentle, warm soapy water and a soft brush clean away daily oils, and routine inspections by a jeweler will keep prongs secure and polish fresh. This is a stone that rewards wearing, because every time it is seen it will recall the moment it was given, the promise it symbolizes, or the joy it represents. Let The Natural Sapphire Company help you set this Ceylon treasure into a piece that will be worn with confidence and loved without restraint.
