1.11 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the centuries-long tapestry of time, the allure of gemstones has woven magic across cultures and eras. Among these treasures, the yellow sapphire stands as a beacon of warmth and elegance. Our featured sapphire, with its imposing 1.11-carat weight and exquisite cushion shape, invites admirers to experience a jewel that resonates with both history and sophistication. From the storied land of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this gem shares its birthplace with some of the most revered sapphires the world has ever known. Indeed, Ceylon has long been a sanctuary for these stones, drawing on a legacy that spans generations and the whispers of countless legends.

Historically, yellow sapphires have been cherished for their representation of prosperity, knowledge, and wisdom. This particular sapphire, with its dimensions of 6.93 x 5.21 x 3.20 mm, offers more than just its physical attributes. It presents a connection to the ancient treasures that once graced royal regalia and religious artifacts. Its medium intense color intensity speaks to a vibrant spirit, reminiscent of the golden rays of dawn that bathed historical lands in their gentle light. A mixed brilliant cut further accentuates its beauty, allowing light to dance across its surface and penetrate its depths, much like the luminescent gems that once adorned monarchs and visionaries.

When we think of legendary stones that have captured the human imagination, the famed Star of India or the glorious Logan Sapphire come to mind. While these illustrious gems command their legendary status through sheer size or remarkable brilliance, our yellow sapphire capitalizes on the purity of its color and the elegance of its cut to define its unique value. The clarity of this gemstone has been graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level. This very slight inclusion is not a flaw but rather a testament to its natural origins, an affirmation that this sapphire, like all of nature's creations, carries with it the mark of authenticity.

This meticulous attention to detail illustrates the craftsmanship that has been invested into enhancing the stone's natural allure.
