1.08 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.08 carat pear shape yellow sapphire measures 8.09 x 5.59 x 3.11 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant faceting style that combines a brilliant crown with a precisely faceted pavilion to optimize both scintillation and sustained light return. The cutter has balanced a moderate table and a medium to slightly deep profile to enhance face up color while preserving weight, producing lively pinpoint scintillation alongside broader flashes that animate the stone under movement. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, the inclusions are minor and well positioned so they do not interrupt the primary light paths in most mounting orientations, and the excellent polish yields crisp facet junctions and strong contrast between bright facet reflections and pavilion depth. The medium color intensity presents a clean, sunny yellow, with color distributed evenly across the table, and the sapphire rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale providing excellent durability for everyday wear when set thoughtfully.

Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely practiced enhancement that improves saturation and uniformity without the introduction of foreign filling materials, preserving long term stability and market acceptance. The Natural Sapphire Company sources this gem within a framework of traceability and responsible procurement, working with local cutters and miners to promote fair labor practices, to support environmental stewardship, and to maintain chain of custody from mine to market, ensuring that the piece integrates seamlessly into a conscious consumer collection. For designers and collectors seeking both technical precision and ethical provenance, this pear shape yellow sapphire adapts well to solitaire and halo settings, performs especially well in warm metals such as yellow gold, and offers flexibility for custom commissions. Independent grading and additional imagery are available upon request, and routine care with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain the stones brilliance while preserving its provenance and long term beauty.
