1.19 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent, Other certified Yellow, 1.19 carat sapphire presents an emerald cut with precise step facets and clean pavilion lines, measuring 6.85 x 4.01 x 3.75 mm. The gem displays a faint yellow hue, coupled with a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that enhances facet definition and light return. The stone is untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with refined tone and crystalline clarity. The emerald cut emphasizes the internal geometry of the sapphire, creating broad luminous planes that reveal subtle color zoning and the natural character of the crystal without overwhelming sparkle.

Over time the restrained color of this sapphire and its inherent stability will continue to captivate, the hardness and toughness of corundum ensuring long term durability for daily wear and for occasional resizing or resetting if required, and the absence of treatment preserves the natural optical properties so that the interplay of light and tone remains consistent for years. The modest inclusions present at eye level contribute to the authenticity of the gem, and when set with careful mounting the rectilinear silhouette of the stone offers a timeless aesthetic that complements both contemporary and classic settings. Sourced and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, the piece suits a variety of jewelry applications, including solitaire rings and refined pendant designs, and its measured proportions allow for secure bezel or prong settings that protect the table and corners. As a natural Ceylon sapphire, this stone carries geological provenance and understated elegance that collectors and designers value, and its clear cool yellow presence continues to command attention through subtlety and structural clarity.

The gem is supplied with certification documenting its characteristics and origin, supporting informed choices for bespoke commissions and appraisal. Routine care is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain brilliance, professional ultrasonic cleaning should be avoided unless confirmed safe for the specific setting, and when not worn the stone should be stored separately to prevent abrasion. Over decades the combination of characteristics of the sapphire, durable material properties, and precise cutting will preserve its capacity to captivate.
