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

This exquisite yellowish orange sapphire from Ceylon is a rare study in radiance and refinement, a jewel destined to become the centerpiece of a discerning collection. Weighing 1.15 carat and finely faceted in a round shape, its dimensions of 6.44 x 6.48 x 3.84 mm are an elegant balance of presence and wearability. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return and scintillation, while an excellent polish allows each facet to sing with golden fire. The color reads as an intense, saturated yellowish orange that shifts between honeyed warmth and sunlit citrus as it catches the light, a tone that feels both contemporary and timeless. Hand selected by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire embodies provenance and personality, an heirloom quality stone born in the storied gem fields of Sri Lanka.

What sets this sapphire apart beyond its vivid hue, is its natural fingerprint, the internal world of inclusions that quietly certify its authenticity and soul. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, the stone presents to the unaided eye as extraordinarily clean and luminous, while under magnification the delicate architecture of tiny, naturally formed features becomes apparent. These microscopic births, whether faint pinpoints, wisps of silk or minute crystal accents, act as distinctive identifiers, each one a natural signature of the gem as unique as a fingerprint. Rather than detracting, these inclusions add depth and character, a quiet complexity that reveals the sapphire is not a manufactured perfection but a true mineral specimen with history. The sapphire has undergone beryllium diffusion, a widely practiced enhancement that has gently and permanently enriched its color, and this treatment is fully disclosed so that your appreciation is informed as well as aesthetic. The diffusion enhances saturation without compromising the gem’s clarity or structural integrity, leaving an enduring, even tone that showcases the cutter’s skill and the gem’s natural charm.

Envision this stone set as the focal point of a bespoke ring, a refined pendant, or a modern pair of studs, its intense hue creating a statement that speaks of cultivated taste and understated confidence. At one point one one five carat this sapphire is ideally sized to anchor a solitaire setting elegantly, while its mixed brilliant facet arrangement will create lively contrast when framed by softer metals or a halo of white diamonds. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with detailed provenance and expert gemological evaluation, and our atelier is ready to collaborate with you to design a setting that honors its color, clarity, and Ceylon origin. Owning this sapphire is an affirmation of connoisseurship, a subtle declaration that you value rarity and history as much as beauty.
