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

One beautiful transparent 1.11 carat oval shape orangish yellow sapphire awaits the connoisseur who seeks a jewel that is both luminous and singular, a gem that announces refined taste with effortless poise. Sourced and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone measures 7.27 by 5.18 by 3.74 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to maximize scintillation and depth of tone. The hue is a delicious orangish yellow, carrying an intense color intensity that reads as sunlit gold at favorable angles, and as a richer, honeyed flame when viewed under warmer light. The polish is graded excellent, resulting in a mirror like finish across the crown and pavilion that amplifies every facet of light, while careful heat treatment has been applied to refine the color in a manner that is stable and traditional within the trade. This sapphire stands as an emblem of considered luxury, a gem designed to command attention without ostentation, a piece destined to become the focal point of any bespoke setting.

Observe how the mixed brilliant cut orchestrates a conversation between brilliance and fire, each facet cut to catch light and return it as vivacious scintillation. The clarity is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone's exceptional transparency and the gem cutter's ability to place and orient facets so that inclusions remain discreet, contributing to character without diminishing the overall purity of view. In daylight the stone presents a crisp, effervescent yellow with a whisper of orange that enlivens the surface, while incandescent light teases out warmer undertones and a velvety richness that feels intimate and inviting. At 1.11 carats the presence of this oval face up is refined yet unmistakable, offering a perfect balance between wearability and distinction, an ideal size for a signature ring, a striking pendant, or a pair of custom earrings where the stone can hold court. The proportions and polish work in concert to deliver flashes of brilliance and a calm, sustained glow, qualities that set this sapphire apart from mass produced counterparts.

Long after purchase the natural beauty of this Ceylon Sri Lanka sapphire will continue to captivate, both due to the inherent durability of corundum and the considered treatments and cuts that have been applied. Sapphire stands second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, a fact that underscores its suitability for everyday wear and its endurance across generations, whether worn daily or reserved for special occasions. The heat treatment applied to this stone is a longstanding, accepted practice, embraced to refine and intensify color while preserving the gem's integrity, a procedure that enhances rather than alters the natural expression of the crystal. Over years and decades, the color will continue to glow with the same intense personality you admire today, and the excellent polish will maintain its reflective properties with proper care, ensuring that the jewel remains as luminous as the moment you first brought it home. When set by a skilled jeweler, this sapphire will reflect both light and lineage, becoming a wearable heirloom that bears witness to life milestones and quiet triumphs alike.

For those who understand that true luxury is measured both by provenance and presence, this orangish yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare opportunity to invest in beauty that is as thoughtful as it is striking.
