1.12 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.12 carat transparent yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare combination of size, clarity, and color that stands out from the typical selection on the market. At 7.07 by 5.11 by 3.66 millimeters, its oval silhouette reads larger than many stones of similar weight, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes its brilliance and light return in ways that common step cuts cannot. Compared to citrine and yellow topaz, which often show similar hues but lack sapphire durability and long term color stability, this Ceylon sapphire offers a warmer, more saturated presence with superior toughness. Compared to yellow diamonds, which command a steep premium for similar visual impact, this sapphire provides remarkable value without sacrificing the lively sparkle that makes a stone feel luxurious. The Natural Sapphire Company sources this gem with exacting standards, so you receive a gem whose medium color intensity is balanced and pleasing rather than weak or overly dark, and whose excellent polish ensures facets meet cleanly and reflect light evenly.

What really makes this sapphire ideal for a statement piece is the combination of its generous face up size and its clarity. Graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone appears clean and open to the unaided eye, which is the most important real world test for wearable jewels. Many stones of this color and carat range show more obvious inclusions or cloudiness that soften light performance and reduce eye appeal. This sapphire instead delivers crisp facet definition and lively scintillation, attributes that read as confidence and refinement when set as a solitaire or as the central gem in a halo design. The mixed brilliant cut enhances the stone s depth and flash, creating a bold visual impact on a ring, pendant, or statement earring that outperforms comparable gems with similar colors but weaker cuts. Because it is heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires from Sri Lanka, you get a consistent and enduring color that retains its appearance with normal wear, unlike some surface filled or unstable alternatives that can fade or change with exposure.

Choosing this yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means choosing a stone that combines salon worthy presence with practical everyday wearability and exceptional value. The stone s Ceylon origin signals a pedigree known for delicate, lively tones and excellent cutting potential, and our disclosure of heat treatment reflects the transparency we bring to every sale. In comparison to other options on the market, this sapphire is more versatile than an overly vivid stone that can dominate a design, and more luminous than pale stones that fail to command attention. It is large enough to read as a statement at one carat plus weight, yet compact enough to allow elegant, wearable settings that protect the gem and showcase its clarity. For customers seeking a standout piece without paying the premium of a colored diamond, or for collectors who prefer corundum s superior hardness and reliability over softer alternatives, this gem offers a balanced and compelling proposition.

We invite you to imagine this oval yellow sapphire mounted in a classic four prong setting that lets light pass freely, or set in a bezel or halo to create contrast and increase perceived size, options our designers at The Natural Sapphire Company can tailor to your taste. Because the gem is clean to the eye and well polished, it photographs beautifully and sparkles under event lighting as well as natural daylight, making it a strong choice for bridal jewelry and signature pieces alike. Our craftsmen can recommend metal choices and setting styles that will protect the girdle and maximize the gem s face up appearance, ensuring that the stone s medium intensity color reads as rich and sunny rather than washed out. For anyone comparing value, durability, and visual impact, this Ceylon yellow sapphire is a superior choice, a memorable center stone that makes a confident statement while offering the long term beauty and resilience sapphires are known for.
