1.14 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.14 carat radiant shape yellow sapphire is offered, measuring 6.81 by 4.98 by 3.73 mm, with a radiant cut that maximizes brilliance and scintillation. This gem displays an intense color intensity, a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Enhancement is heat treated, a standard and stable practice in the trade that refines color and improves clarity without altering the fundamental nature of the corundum. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance long celebrated for producing lively, highly desirable yellow sapphires, and this stone carries the hallmarks of that classic island origin. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with full attention to its gemological attributes, offering both transparency and careful selection for discerning buyers.

From a technical perspective this sapphire offers attributes that matter to educated purchasers, gem cutters, and connoisseurs. The very very slightly included grade evaluated at eye level indicates that under normal viewing conditions the stone appears clean, while microscopic or loupe examination will reveal minor inclusions that are typical of natural corundum, and that serve to confirm natural origin. The radiant cut combines trimmed corners with a brilliant facet arrangement, optimizing light return and providing a modern rectangular footprint that is ideal for both solitaire and multi stone settings. The intense yellow hue is a primary driver of value in fancy color sapphires, with saturation and tone being more important than mere size. Heat treatment in Ceylon sapphires is widely accepted, and when properly executed it yields stable, enduring color enhancement. The excellent polish ensures precise facet junctions and smooth facet planes, which contribute to maximum fire and a vivid surface luster.

Historically and culturally, Ceylon yellow sapphires have been prized in regal and religious contexts for centuries, used in crowns, ceremonial jewellery, and talismans that celebrate prosperity and wisdom. Yellow corundum has been favored for signet rings, pendants, and garments of state, and today it carries that same sense of heritage while suiting contemporary design. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize provenance, craftsmanship, and suitability for bespoke settings, making this 1.14 carat radiant yellow sapphire an excellent choice for a client seeking a gem with verifiable origin, enduring beauty, and cultural resonance.
