1.20 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a moment when light breathes into color and turns a simple stone into a promise, and this cushion shape greenish yellow sapphire captures that instant with quiet conviction. Weighing 1.20 carat, this transparent gem measures 6.05 x 5.94 x 3.55 mm, a size that feels intimate on the finger and luminous from a distance. Its medium color intensity gives it a gentle glow that shifts like new leaves in spring sunlight, an inviting blend of green and yellow that suggests both warmth and renewal. The cushion silhouette softens each edge, producing a romantic, vintage whisper, while the mixed brilliant cut scatters light into playful fire and thoughtful brilliance. When held, the stone presents itself as a small sun, contained and ready to be set into the future of two lives.

Look closely and you will find the craftsmanship that makes this sapphire worthy of an engagement ring. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem retains a clear, open window into its internal world while bearing the tiny marks that testify to its natural origin. Such inclusions are like faint fingerprints left by the earth, quiet reminders of the journey from the secret chambers of the ground to your hand. The polish is excellent, allowing facets to sing with each movement. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, a rare and honest beauty that comes untouched, pure as it formed. Its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a storied source of sapphires renowned for color and character, and this provenance adds a layer of heritage and romance to the stone.

Imagine this sapphire set at the center of an engagement ring, cradled by a halo of delicate diamonds or embraced by a simple gold bezel that lets its color breathe. On the hand it reads as both modern and timeless, a declaration that love can be gentle and bold at once. The greenish yellow hue lends itself to thoughtful symbolism, calling to mind first leaves, fresh beginnings, promise kept, and laughter shared under a summer sky. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that every nod and gesture releases a whisper of light, while the cushion shape rests comfortably against the skin, intimate and insistent. For a couple who seeks something outside the ordinary, who values story and substance as much as sparkle, this sapphire offers an elegant alternative to a traditional diamond, one that will become a signature of memory and a daily reminder of vows made.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish gems that carry both beauty and provenance, and this Ceylon sapphire is a quiet exemplar of that philosophy.
