1.07 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing presents a transparent yellow sapphire weighing 1.07 carat, cut to an oval shape with exact dimensions of 7.13 x 5.63 x 3.30 mm. The gem is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, exhibiting an eye clean clarity grade when viewed at eye level, a medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. The stone has been heat treated to enhance color stability and uniformity, and it originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing lively and well colored sapphires. The combination of precise cutting, clean clarity, and a warm yellow tone creates a balanced appearance that reads both refined and durable, suitable for everyday wear while retaining the optical properties desirable in a fine colored gemstone.

The oval outline and these specific proportions make this sapphire particularly well suited for custom jewelry. At just over one carat and with a length of 7.13 mm the stone offers presence without dominating a design, which is ideal for solitaire rings, three stone settings, and pendant designs where a moderate table size enhances light return. The 3.30 mm depth provides enough pavilion for secure bezel or prong settings while maintaining a lower profile suitable for active wear. The oval shape lends itself to visual elongation on a finger or neckline, and the consistent mixed brilliant faceting pattern maximizes scintillation across the table and crown facets, which is beneficial in designs that rely on movement and sparkle rather than on intense saturation alone.

From a design perspective the medium color intensity and warm yellow hue allow broad compatibility with different metal choices and accent stones. In white metals the gem reads as fresh and luminous, offering a sunny contrast against platinum or white gold, while in yellow or rose gold the sapphire integrates into warmer palettes and can read as richer and more vintage inspired. The eye clean clarity supports open settings such as three prong or four prong cathedral mounts which showcase the pavilion and allow light to pass through the stone, and also makes the stone an excellent candidate for halo treatments using smaller melee sapphires or diamonds, where the primary focus remains on the oval center stone. The mixed brilliant cut contributes both to dispersion and to a crisp pattern of light return, making it suitable for designs that emphasize sparkle.

As representatives of The Natural Sapphire Company we provide this sapphire with full disclosure regarding treatment and origin, and with professional handling recommendations for custom work. Given its dimensions and optical properties the stone can be set securely in a variety of mount styles while retaining a comfortable wear height. For ring settings consider a slightly tapered shoulder to balance the visual scale of the oval, and for pendants a simple bezel or four prong head will protect the girdle while showing the table and crown geometry. The heat treatment applied is a standard and stable enhancement in the trade, and the provenance from Ceylon adds a recognized geographic pedigree. For clients planning bespoke designs our team can advise on metal selection, setting style, and complementary accent stones to achieve the intended aesthetic and functional outcome, ensuring the final piece reflects the quality and characteristics of the sapphire.
