1.08 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a beautiful transparent 1.08 carat heart shape yellow sapphire, with precise dimensions of 5.49 x 6.10 x 4.73 mm, faceted and cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize light return and scintillation.

The color intensity is light, presenting a delicate sunny hue that works well with both warm and neutral metals. The polish is excellent, giving crisp facet junctions and a lively surface reflection. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used to refine color and clarity in natural sapphires, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with attractive tone and good transparency. For the educated buyer these combined attributes signal a well cut, well presented gem that balances natural beauty with practical enhancements explained in full by The Natural Sapphire Company.
