1.11 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a sliver of morning sun captured within a cushion of crystal, a transparent 1.11 carat yellow sapphire that breathes soft light with every turn. This gem measures 6.54 by 4.59 by 3.69 millimeters, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that scatters honeyed flashes and pale lemon fire across its surface. Its clarity reads very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a whisper of character that makes the stone feel lived in and authentic, while an excellent polish lets each facet sing. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka and enhanced by careful heat treatment, this sapphire carries the gentle provenance of a storied island, a warm and measured color intensity that shimmers without shouting. Placed against skin or set into metal, the stone reads intimate and luminous, the kind of jewel that seems to hold both a private sunrise and a public smile.

As you imagine this cushion sapphire becoming part of your story, consider how it will be transformed, the many ways it can be customized into cherished jewelry. Set in a classic solitaire with slender prongs, the gem becomes an elegant engagement ring that celebrates understatement and devotion. Nestled in a glittering halo of white diamonds it will glow like a small sun, perfect for a three stone or cluster ring that balances romance and sparkle. A low bezel will make it an everyday talisman for a pendant or a signet style ring, secure and softly modern, while a vintage filigree mount will turn it into an heirloom with lace like detail. Try rose gold to accentuate its warm notes, yellow gold to blend with its light color, or platinum and white gold to create contrast and illuminate the mixed brilliant cut. Smaller sapphires or diamonds in pavé shoulders, side stones, or an east west setting will give you endless looks, from minimalist studs to ornate cocktail rings. At The Natural Sapphire Company we delight in helping you dream the design, to pair this Ceylon cushion with metals and settings that echo your voice, your memory, your promise. Let us help you imagine the perfect setting, and craft a piece that feels as if it were made only for you.
