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

This exceptional transparent 1.08 carat cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire measures 5.88 by 5.80 by 3.44 mm, and it presents a carefully executed mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and scintillation with the classic cushion silhouette. The gem displays an intense color intensity that reads as vibrant golden yellow with warm orange undertones, a hue that is both lively and sophisticated. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which means the stone appears clean and pure to the naked eye while retaining natural character under magnification, and the excellent polish ensures maximum light return and a smooth, high end finish. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with bright, lively tones and exceptional transparency. This sapphire has been beryllium diffused, a professionally controlled enhancement that enriches and stabilizes the orangish yellow color in a way that free eyes the full beauty of the stone, and when disclosed and documented this treatment allows collectors to enjoy rare and intense colors without compromising provenance or craftsmanship.

Compared with many other offerings on the market this sapphire stands apart in several important ways. Many yellow and fancy sapphires are either lightly colored or heavily included, and some are heat treated in ways that produce muted or uneven tones, whereas this stone combines intense, evenly distributed color with a high clarity appearance and an excellent polish that few comparably sized stones achieve. Compared with synthetic stones this natural Ceylon gem carries geological story and rarity that synthetic material cannot match, and compared with untreated natural sapphires this beryllium diffused example offers a vivid color that is otherwise extremely rare and often available only at a much higher price point or in much smaller sizes. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to maximize brilliance and face up size, so the gem presents a larger and more luminous appearance than many poorly proportioned stones, and the cushion outline is elegant and versatile for both contemporary and vintage inspired settings. For collectors who value documented origin, clarity to the eye, and a distinct warm yellow that crosses toward orange without becoming brownish, this sapphire offers a superior combination of attributes.

As a perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection this 1.08 carat Ceylon orangish yellow sapphire embodies collectible quality, visual impact, and investment minded value. It is ideal as a showpiece center for a bespoke ring or pendant, and its size and proportions allow it to sit beautifully in fine jewelry while still holding its own in a cabinet of rarities. The Natural Sapphire Company carefully discloses the beryllium diffusion enhancement and sources this gem from Sri Lanka, so collectors receive full transparency about treatment and origin, which is essential when comparing value and longevity across the market. In a field where true color, clean appearance, and cut quality define desirability, this sapphire excels, offering a striking color that remains both wearable and collectible, a clarity grade that satisfies aesthetic standards for high end pieces, and a polish that sets it above many alternatives. For those seeking a unique, bright, and rare orangish yellow sapphire that balances natural origin with a stable and dramatic color enhancement, this gem is a standout choice, and The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to present it as a refined and exciting addition to any serious collection.
