1.16 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet poetry in sunlight refined, a soft reverie captured within a single stone that seems to remember dawn. This is a transparent 1.16 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire, its geometry precise and gracious, its dimensions 7.43 x 4.54 x 3.47 mm whispering of careful proportion and elegant restraint. Hailing from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem carries with it the hush of ancient hills and the patience of time. Its color reads as a faint, honeyed breath of yellow, delicate as the first lemon blossom, a hue that suggests warmth without overwhelming the senses. The clarity is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testimony to nature that does not need correction, and the enhancement status is no enhancement, wholly honest and natural. An excellent polish crowns the work of cutters who have coaxed the sapphire into an emerald cut of dignified facets and clean lines, each facet a small mirror ready to hold a story.

Look at this sapphire from the table, and you will find a cathedral of light, the step facets of the emerald cut opening like stained glass windows across a chapel of inner fire. Turn it to the profile, and the pavilion becomes a quiet theater where light performs with soft, deliberate motion, reflecting back refined flashes rather than boisterous fireworks. The very very slightly included clarity gives a subtle intimacy, a secret that lives only inside the stone, invisible to the casual gaze and felt instead as a depth that makes the gem human and real. Its faint color intensity allows surroundings to lean in and be flatteringly lit, metals and settings taking on complimentary tones, while the excellent polish ensures every angle rewards the eye with a silky, continuous shine. At 7.43 x 4.54 x 3.47 mm the proportions balance presence with refinement, making this sapphire feel both private and proudly visible, an understated star that holds court on the hand.

When fashioned into a ring or a pendant, this Ceylon yellow sapphire becomes a talisman of quiet devotion, a gentle proclamation of affection that does not shout, but rather warms everything it touches. The Natural Sapphire Company shares this gem as a companion for moments that matter, a delicate chorus for vows, anniversaries, and those days when you wish to give someone a light to carry. The emerald cut frames the stone like a poem, each step facet a line, each reflected beam a verse, and the excellent polish lets those verses sing with clarity. Because there has been no enhancement, the stone keeps its original voice, a natural melody that pairs beautifully with yellow or rose gold for a soft, embracing glow, or with white metals for a modern, luminous contrast. Hold it in the palm and feel the balance, slip it onto a finger and watch how it catches passing light and private glances, how its faint yellow breath lifts the complexion and brightens the room.

This sapphire is for the person who loves restraint, who treasures honesty and subtlety as much as beauty, who understands that sometimes the most moving things are quiet. Its provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka links it to a legacy of sapphires that have long captivated collectors and romantics alike, and its unenhanced nature speaks to authenticity and respect for the gem as it was born. The very very slightly included clarity, the excellent polish, the emerald cut, and the delicate color intensity combine to make a jewel that is as much about what is held within as about what is shown to the world. If you are seeking a stone that reads like a memory, that catches light like a warm remembered smile, that enhances every angle with a composed and luminous grace, then this 1.16 carat yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a quiet promise waiting to become part of your story.
