1.05 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a heart held aloft at sunrise, a single glow that changes the way the day begins, this is the presence of the 1.05 carat cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka. Its mixed brilliant cut scatters light like warm laughter, its facets working together to set a soft fire within, and its intense color intensity bathes the skin in honey and sunlight. The stone measures 5.85 x 5.73 x 3.62 mm, a perfect balance of presence and elegance, transparent and alive, with an excellent polish that allows each plane to sing. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, a whisper of nature that only serves to prove its authenticity and origin, and the gem has been carefully heat treated to enhance the tone and stability of this golden hue. When you hold it, the cushion silhouette feels timeless, a romantic shape that recalls heirlooms and new promises alike.

As an engagement option this sapphire offers a story both intimate and enduring, a promise forged in light rather than in fragile perfection. Picture a hand extended, a ring set with this living ember at its center, the mixed brilliant cut catching candlelight and daylight with equal devotion, the orangish yellow that speaks of late summer fields, of warm letters, of laughter that warms the marrow. It is resilient, meant for the cadence of a life shared, and its very color carries a warmth that reads as optimism and devotion. Our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company selected this example for its radiant personality, for the way it rests against the skin and seems to illuminate the wearer from within, and for the ease with which it pairs with a variety of settings from a delicate solitaire to a halo that frames its flame. The dimensions ensure that the gem is substantial yet wearable, a center stone that balances presence with everyday grace.

For those who dream of contrast and drama, consider pairing this Ceylon treasure with accents of Semi Black Opal for a design that unites light and depth, golden fire and midnight shimmer. The Semi Black Opal brings flashes that play against the sapphire, a mysterious companion that enhances romance through contrast, while the cushion shape holds both stones in a conversation that feels like a private language. At The Natural Sapphire Company we imagine this composition in gold that warms the yellow, in platinum that cools and clarifies the hue, or in a mixed metal design where the sapphire stands out like a private sun. Every detail has been considered, from the gem cut to the polish and the care of the heat enhancement, so that the ring you give can become a vessel for memory. Choose this orangish yellow cushion sapphire and you choose a vow that is bright, thoughtful, and enduring, a ring that will continue to catch light and hearts for decades to come.
