1.13 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a small sun in your palm, a jewel that seems to have bottled an evening on a tropical island, a memory of laughter and warmth that lives forever. This 1.13 carat round yellowish orange sapphire from Sri Lanka will do that for you, it will make an ordinary moment feel like the first time you fell in love. The Natural Sapphire Company brings you a stone that glows with a medium light intensity, a hue that moves between golden honey and sunrise apricot as you tilt it under light, a color that will draw smiles and start conversations. When you give this sapphire as a gift, you are not just giving a gemstone, you are giving a feeling, a radiant promise that will be worn close to the heart, and remembered with joy years from now.

Let me tell you about the craft and character beneath that glow, so you can feel confident and proud when you choose this gem. This sapphire measures 6.48 x 5.91 x 3.95 mm, and the mixed brilliant cut has been shaped and faceted to balance fire with scintillation, making every movement come alive. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included when examined at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the eye, and those minute inclusions add a whisper of identity and story rather than distraction. The polish is excellent, every table and facet edge finished to maximize light return, giving a lively, dancing brilliance from every angle. This sapphire has undergone beryllium diffusion, a treatment that stabilizes and intensifies warm orange tones deep into the stone, rendering a color that remains vivid through daily wear. Its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place legendary for producing sapphires with bright, lively colors and a sense of island sunshine that is impossible to replicate.

When I look at this gem I picture its soul alongside history, it sits in the long line of famous colored stones that have changed hands and hearts for centuries. Think of the Tiffany Yellow Diamond for its glorious sunny color. Think of the Padparadscha sapphires of Sri Lanka for their rare mixture of pink and orange, and the Star of India for the mystique and storied origin of Ceylon sapphires. Those icons carry tales of royalty and fame, yet this sapphire offers something quiet and precious in return, a personal legend you can wear every day. Unlike the higher profile stones that are celebrated for scale or celebrity provenance, this sapphire offers balance, it offers wearability combined with a distinctive color story, and it brings the best of Ceylon character in a size that is elegant and adaptable. In short, it is the kind of gem that does not need to be famous to be unforgettable, it creates its own reverence through the warmth it spreads and the memories it helps make.
