1.05 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped yellow sapphire is a rare opportunity for a collector or a connoisseur who seeks something uniquely radiant, it weighs 1.05 carat, it measures 7.92 by 5.22 by 3.64 mm, it is transparent with a refined mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and sparkle, it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, it displays a medium color intensity that is sunny and sophisticated rather than loud, it benefits from excellent polish, it has been heat treated to enhance its warmth and stability, and it hails from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a limited and carefully curated treasure for those who appreciate provenance and quality. This stone is small enough to sit gracefully in delicate settings, and substantial enough to command attention when set as a focal point. The pear silhouette is inherently elegant, offering a gentle elongation that flatters the hand or the neckline, and the mixed brilliant faceting design combines the scintillation of a modern cut with classical depth, producing flashes that move with each gesture.

In the light this sapphire reads as sunlight captured, a yellow that leans toward lemon and honey rather than neon, and because its clarity is very very slightly included the gem retains exceptional transparency and a lively internal play, the facets work together to create a lively dance of brilliance across the crown, and the mixed brilliant finish gives a crisp yet soft overall appearance that photographs beautifully and wears with sophisticated restraint. The proportions are well balanced for a pear shape, giving you a broad, luminous crown that creates a bright face up appearance, and the depth controls contribute to its apparent size on the finger and in a pendant, when you hold the gem between your fingers you feel the precision of the polish, the smoothness of the girdle, and the careful symmetry of the point and rounded end, a gem of this pedigree from Ceylon Sri Lanka carries a history of artisanal cutting and skilled heat enhancement that is common to fine Sri Lankan sapphires, and it stands as a refined expression of yellow sapphire character that is both collectible and eminently wearable.

When designing a custom piece around this pear shaped yellow sapphire consider pairings that elevate its unique warmth, for a timeless and high contrast aesthetic place the sapphire in a halo of high quality white diamonds, the icy white of diamonds will enhance the gem's yellow tone while offering intense brilliance, a slender pavé band of diamonds will add sparkle without overpowering the central stone, for a vintage inspired creation surround the sapphire with small old European cut diamonds or rose cut diamonds set in warm yellow gold, the softer reflections of those cuts will complement the gem's sunny personality and create an heirloom feeling. For a contemporary signature look consider accent stones in cooler colors, a trio of tiny Ceylon blue sapphires on either side will create a beautiful color dialogue, the blue will sit as a counterpoint and make the yellow appear fresher and more luminous, alternatively a pair of green tsavorites or chrome tourmalines will give a natural botanical impression, the yellow will read like sunlight through leaves, for a romantic and tonal design consider pairing with champagne or cognac diamonds that echo the warmth of the sapphire while adding depth, for metal choices yellow gold will emphasize its sunlight tones, rose gold will soften the contrast and lend a vintage warmth, white gold or platinum will provide a modern and high contrast backdrop that accentuates sparkle.
