1.21 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.21 carat round yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offered by The Natural Sapphire Company is exceptional in both gem quality and market positioning, it measures 6.14 by 6.11 by 4.07 mm, it is transparent, it has a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance while maintaining strong face up color, the clarity was graded very very slightly included at eye level which means the stone presents a clean appearance to the naked eye, the color intensity is intense which gives the gem a lively golden hue that stands apart from the paler stones often sold as lower grade yellow sapphires, the polish is excellent and there is no enhancement, which substantially elevates this gem above common heat treated or fracture filled stones on the market, compared to many mass market options this sapphire commands a premium for its untreated status and Ceylon origin, Ceylon sapphires are known for their bright, clear colors and this specimen combines that classic provenance with a modern mixed brilliant cut that outperforms many standard step or poorly faceted rounds in light return and wearable appeal.

From an investment perspective this sapphire offers compelling potential, natural, untreated sapphires from Sri Lanka with intense color and strong clarity are increasingly sought after by collectors and discerning buyers, as treatments have become common, truly untreated material has grown in scarcity and desirability, at 1.21 carats this gem sits in a sweet spot where rarity meets versatility, it is large enough to attract serious collectors while remaining practical for elegant jewelry, the excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant cut enhance its marketability and resale liquidity, historically natural colored sapphires, especially those with verified provenance and no enhancement, have shown steady appreciation relative to lower quality or treated stones, while no one can guarantee future returns, purchasing through a reputable house like The Natural Sapphire Company adds value through transparent documentation, ethical sourcing, and access to an established collector network, for investors seeking tangible assets that combine beauty and scarcity this Ceylon yellow sapphire is a strong candidate, it works equally well as a wearable heirloom and as a long term asset, we recommend keeping certification and provenance on record and considering periodic re appraisal as the colored stone market continues to mature.
