1.20 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.20 carat pear shape yellow sapphire measures 7.87 by 5.60 by 3.47 millimeters, offering a length to width ratio of approximately 1.41, and a depth that translates to about 51.5 percent, proportions that yield a broad face up presentation and efficient light return. The gem is cut as a mixed brilliant, combining a brilliant style crown with a modified pavilion faceting scheme that balances scintillation with broad flashes of light. The facet junctions are crisp and the excellent polish enhances facet contrast, producing lively return from both smaller table facets and larger pavilion facets. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone is effectively clean to the unaided eye and shows only minor internal features under magnification, preserving transparency and maximizing brilliance. Color is a very light yellow, with a delicate, even saturation that allows the cut to emphasize sparkle and dispersion. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance respected for producing clean material with attractive tone and hue.

Owning this yellow sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company is an investment in both natural beauty and traditional lapidary craftsmanship, the untreated origin and gemological attributes contributing to its long term collectibility for connoisseurs. The combination of mixed brilliant faceting and excellent polish reflects skilled cutting decisions aimed at optimizing both face up area and internal light performance, while the very very slightly included clarity grade preserves durable integrity inherent to corundum. As a natural Ceylon sapphire with no enhancement, it stands apart from heat treated or filled material, providing provenance and treatment transparency that appeal to sophisticated buyers and those purchasing for legacy pieces. The durable hardness and resilience of sapphire make it suitable for daily wear in rings or secure pendant settings, and the pear outline complements both solitaire and halo designs, with prong or bezel protection advised at the pointed tip for longevity. When viewed as a component of a curated collection, this stone combines measured proportions, refined facet architecture, and natural, untreated origin, attributes that together create enduring aesthetic value and sound potential for appreciation over time.
