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

This 1.12 carat oval orangish yellow sapphire is a rare and elegant offering, distinguished by its transparent body, intense color intensity, and excellent polish. The gem measures 7.60 by 5.62 by 2.86 millimeters, and is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a lively table and crown with a well proportioned pavilion to deliver both depth and sparkle. The stone is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means it appears clean and vibrant to the viewer while retaining natural character when examined more closely. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, the gem carries the storied appeal of Sri Lankan sapphires, and it has been enhanced by lattice diffused treatment to achieve its vivid and uniform orangish yellow hue. The craftsmanship and proportions result in an even surface and remarkable light return, making this sapphire immediately eye catching in both photography and in hand.

When you compare this sapphire to other options on the market, its combination of attributes sets it apart in quality and value. Against untreated but pale yellow sapphires, this stone offers a far stronger saturation that provides presence without reliance on heavy metal cladding or complex mounting to appear lively. Compared with common yellow gemstones such as citrine or yellow topaz, this sapphire delivers superior durability and bragging rights as corundum, offering the hardness that withstands daily wear far better than most alternate stones. Compared with synthetic or heavily treated gems that can lack natural origin or display artificial zoning, this lattice diffused Ceylon sapphire retains natural crystal structure and origin pedigree, while the diffusion enhancement gives you a color that rivals rare natural hues for a fraction of the premium. The mixed brilliant cut further elevates gem performance when set, producing lively scintillation that outshines many standard oval cuts and guarantees that the stone reads as both luxurious and modern.

Versatility is one of this sapphires strongest selling points, and it is equally suited to casual and formal settings. In a simple bezel or four prong ring the warm orangish yellow tone brings a pop of color to everyday ensembles, pairing surprisingly well with denim, knitwear, and warm neutrals. For formal occasions the intensity and polish allow it to hold its own in a classic halo or three stone setting, where it complements both white and yellow metals and stands out in evening lighting. The gem size is comfortable for everyday wear without feeling delicate, and the eye clean clarity ensures that the surface and internal characteristics do not distract from the overall glow of the piece. The sapphires hard wearing nature makes it ideal for rings, pendants, and even bespoke items such as signet style designs, so you can design a piece that transitions effortlessly from daytime to evening.
