1.08 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, completely transparent 1.08 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire is an invitation to an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs who recognize the distinct rarity of an unenhanced gem of this calibre. Sourced from the legendary mines of Sri Lanka, this oval shape stone measures 6.75 by 5.32 by 3.76 millimetres, and is masterfully fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with depth. Its clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that confirms the stone as a natural, untreated specimen and adds a fingerprint of authenticity that many heated or filled stones lack. The colour presents as a very light yellow, a refined and delicate hue that reads as buttery and luminous under warm light, and the excellent polish allows each facet to catch and return light with a lively, sophisticated brilliance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pride ourselves on offering gems that are naturally beautiful without intervention, and this sapphire is a rare, unheated treasure that will appeal to anyone seeking something genuinely singular.

Visually this sapphire offers a whisper of sunshine rather than a shout, a nuance that speaks to understated luxury and enduring taste. The mixed brilliant cut provides a modern sparkle from the crown facets and a classic depth from the pavilion, resulting in a gem that presents lively facet play while maintaining a soft, elegant glow. The slight inclusions, visible only to the attentive eye, give the stone character and provenance, each subtle feather and pinpoint telling a story of geological time and natural formation. Because this stone is untreated, its very light colour intensity is entirely original, a direct expression of the Ceylon origin famed for producing sapphires with refined pastel tones, clarity, and a silk-like glow. This sapphire is ideally suited to bespoke commissions, serving as a delicate solitaire for an elegant ring, a refined center for a bespoke pendant, or the heart of a couture piece where the focus is on authenticity and provenance. Owning this sapphire means wearing a piece of Ceylon history, scarce in the market, and available now through The Natural Sapphire Company as part of a limited inventory of genuinely natural gemstones.

Beyond its aesthetic allure, many traditions and gemological enthusiasts attribute a rich tapestry of metaphysical and healing properties to yellow sapphire, properties that enhance its desirability among those seeking both beauty and meaning. Historically associated with Jupiter in Vedic astrology, yellow sapphire, or pukhraj, is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune to its wearer, encouraging growth in career and personal life through clarity of thought and dignified confidence. Practitioners and admirers often describe the stone as a beacon for mental clarity and decision-making, promoting optimism, focus, and intellectual expansion while gently dissolving doubts and hesitations. On an energetic level, this sapphire is said to stimulate the solar plexus and sacral centres, supporting self-worth, willpower, creativity, and a zest for life. It is also thought to harmonise relationships and attract abundance, serving as both a talisman for manifestation and a subtle balancing force for emotional turmoil. While these effects are described within spiritual and cultural frameworks rather than clinical evidence, for those who value symbolic resonance, wearing this unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire can be a daily reminder of intention, aspiration, and personal refinement.

This 1.08 carat, 6.75 by 5.32 by 3.76 millimetre oval yellow sapphire is a rare offering, an unheated gem of Ceylon origin with the sort of provenance and presence collectors prize, and because of its natural state its availability is limited.
