1.11 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.11 carat yellow sapphire presents a refined balance of weight and presence, rendered in a distinctive fancy shape with measurements of 5.54 x 6.94 x 3.91 mm. Cut to a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, the stone exhibits lively scintillation and a clean table face that favors fire and brilliance, while the excellent polish enhances light return and surface smoothness. The gem is transparent with intense color saturation, a clear and luminous yellow that reads consistently across the crown and pavilion. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with inclusions modest enough to preserve overall eye appeal and durability. This sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement reported, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long associated with fine and characterful yellow sapphires.

As an engagement gemstone this sapphire combines visual distinction with practical suitability for everyday wear, given the inherent toughness of corundum and the secure settings that complement its fancy outline. The intense yellow hue provides a modern alternative to traditional center stones, conveying warmth and optimism without sacrificing refinement. The compact, well proportioned dimensions allow for versatile mounting options, from a low profile bezel that emphasizes protection and clean lines, to a prong set solitaire that maximizes light exposure and sparkle. For those seeking a meaningful and unique engagement piece, The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on settings and metal choices that best accentuate the stone, including yellow gold to amplify the warmth, or white metals to create contrast. The stone is ready for bespoke design, certification, and setting, for a committed piece that highlights its natural color, solid clarity, and excellent polish.
