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

A singular treasure awaits the collector who seeks an object of rare warmth and unmistakable presence, a magnificent orangish yellow sapphire, transparent and luminous, weighing 1.22 carats, and measuring 7.00 by 5.07 by 3.25 mm. This gem carries the hallmark of provenance, originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land long revered for producing sapphires of exceptional character. Its emerald cut showcases disciplined geometry and refined symmetry, presenting a broad table and crisp step facets that allow the intense color intensity to radiate with astonishing purity. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, the stone is remarkably clean to the sight, offering a clarity that invites prolonged appreciation. Enhanced through beryllium diffusion to achieve its vivid orangish yellow personality, this sapphire has been thoughtfully finished with an excellent polish, ensuring every facet edge and plane meets the highest standards of lapidary artistry, and providing a lustrous surface that catches and returns light with elegant precision.

As a centerpiece in any collection this emerald cut orangish yellow sapphire defines refined taste through its exceptional cut and brilliance, the step cut facets orchestrate a parade of flash and reflective planes that emphasize depth and saturated color rather than scatter light in a riot, creating a sophisticated optical signature that commands attention without demanding it. The proportions are balanced to emphasize both table presence and pavilion dynamics, allowing light to travel through the stone and emerge as deliberate flashes of honey and citrus gold, while the excellent polish delivers clean facet junctions and mirror like reflections. The emerald cut lends architectural grace, a classic silhouette that flatters a variety of settings, and the transparent nature of the stone maximizes its color impact, making it equally striking in a solitaire ring, an elevated halo, or as a compelling center in a bespoke necklace. For collectors who prize shape and light performance, this sapphire offers an uncommon combination of step cut precision and saturated hue, a jewel that rewards close inspection and that transforms from a private delight into a public statement when worn.
