1.11 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As your personal consultant at The Natural Sapphire Company, I am pleased to present a truly exceptional gemstone, a transparent 1.11 carat oval yellow sapphire, whose provenance and purity create a rare opportunity for discerning collectors and connoisseurs. Sourced from the historic deposits of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries with it the legacy of an island revered for producing some of the world’s finest corundum. The gem measures 7.05 x 5.22 x 3.60 mm, a proportion that balances presence and wearability with effortless elegance, and it has been fashioned in an exquisite mixed brilliant cut that captures and returns light with lively scintillation. Its light color intensity is refined rather than overstated, offering a luminous, golden clarity that adapts beautifully to both modern and classical settings. This sapphire is unenhanced, a fact that significantly elevates its desirability, because natural, untreated gems of this clarity and origin are increasingly scarce. The polish has been executed to an excellent standard, allowing the surface to mirror light with pristine clarity, and the overall transparency and finish confirm that this is a gem selected and preserved for its natural integrity.

Beyond its provenance and uncompromised treatment, what makes this 1.11 carat oval yellow sapphire ideal for a statement piece is the harmonious marriage of size, shape, and clarity. At 7.05 x 5.22 mm, the face up dimensions deliver a commanding presence on the hand or at the throat, without sacrificing comfort or versatility. The oval silhouette lends a sophisticated elongation that flatters the finger and neck, creating a focal point that reads as both luxurious and wearable. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this effect by combining the depth and fire of a faceted pavilion with the lively dispersion of a brilliant crown, producing flashes of light that draw the eye and hold attention. Importantly, the clarity has been graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye the stone appears clean and uninterrupted, offering an unobstructed visual field for that warm yellow hue to glow. This level of clarity at this carat weight, combined with the absence of any enhancement, is rare in Ceylon sapphires and makes this gem uniquely suited to a solitaire ring that announces presence, a bespoke cocktail piece that commands the room, or a refined pendant that elevates an ensemble.

Owning this sapphire places you among an exclusive circle of collectors and patrons who value provenance, authenticity, and timeless beauty. Because stones of this character are limited in supply, we offer personalized consultations to explore settings that reinforce the gem’s singular nature, whether that means a handcrafted platinum mount to emphasize cool contrast, a custom 18 karat gold design to warm and amplify the yellow, or a halo of hand selected diamonds to enhance brilliance without overwhelming the sapphire’s natural charm. Each commission through The Natural Sapphire Company is treated as a bespoke creation, with meticulous attention given to proportion, metal choice, and setting style to ensure the finished piece is as rare as the stone itself. If you seek a visible, refined statement that communicates exclusivity and impeccable taste, this unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire is a decisive choice. I invite you to reserve a private viewing, so we may discuss how this gem can be transformed into a singular heirloom, there are very few opportunities to acquire an unenhanced, eye clean, mixed brilliant oval from Ceylon at this size, and for those who seize it, the result is an ownership experience that is both personal and supremely distinctive.
