1.18 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a very old comfort in the language of gemstones, a language that crosses seas and centuries, and this Ceylon sapphire speaks it beautifully. We present a transparent oval sapphire weighing 1.18 carats, with clean, classical proportions measuring 6.95 x 6.31 x 3.17 mm. The mixed brilliant cut gives the gem a balanced marriage of scintillation and depth, a cut that honors both modern light performance and time tested symmetry. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem crystal clarity that allows light to travel freely and return as a warm, intense orangish yellow that catches the eye and warms the heart. The polish is excellent, which means the facets sit with crisp edges and mirror like surfaces, letting the color read as pure and saturated. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region with a storied history of producing some of the world most sought after sapphires, this stone carries with it the geological and cultural legacy of an island renowned for its gem bearing gravels and expert lapidaries. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer a gem that embodies both provenance and polish, a stone that feels classic the moment it is lifted under light.

Imagine an evening on the edge of a tea estate in Ceylon, where the sun lowers slowly and paints the hills in gold, where lovers exchange quiet promises beneath frangipani trees. This orangish yellow sapphire seems to hold that very sunset inside its oval heart, a concentrated glow that remembers warmth, hope, and the steady pulse of long commitments. The intense color suggests ripe mango flesh and the glow of candlelight at dusk, a hue that evokes optimism and affection rather than fleeting glamour. Its transparency and very very slight inclusions are the kind of honest traits that appeal to those who value legacy, for a gem that shows a trace of its natural story will become more beloved with age. From a romantic perspective the stone becomes more than adornment, it becomes talisman, it becomes a promise that is visible even in the smallest gestures. Worn against skin, set in a simple platinum or warmed gold mount, it will catch discussion and memory alike, turning ordinary days into private celebrations and quiet evenings into ceremonies of shared history.

As a piece offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire comes with an assurance of provenance and transparent disclosure. The gem has been enhanced by lattice diffusion, a widely accepted treatment that intensifies and stabilizes its vivid color, and we believe that honesty about enhancement is essential to the timeless nature of any heirloom. The mixed brilliant cut along with excellent polish ensures the stone performs beautifully under all lighting conditions, making it an ideal candidate for an engagement ring, a meaningful pendant, or a custom design that will be handed down through generations. At 1.18 carats and with the clean, classic oval shape, it is a size and silhouette that balances presence with elegance. Caring for a lattice diffused sapphire is straightforward, and with routine gentle cleaning it will retain its glow and become ever more entwined with the wearer story. If you are seeking a gemstone that connects to ancient gem lands, that carries the romance of a warm Ceylon sunset, and that will sit comfortably within a tradition of refined jewelry, this orangish yellow sapphire is a rare and poetic choice.
