1.22 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Sri Lanka, where ancient gem gravels were turned by hand for generations, comes this luminous yellow sapphire whose story is as much about place as it is about light. Born in Ceylon, this crystal grew slowly within a geological embrace that yields some of the world’s most treasured sapphires. Local miners and small scale collectors brought the rough to cutters who understood how to translate a stone’s inner fire. The result is a transparent cushion shaped sapphire weighing 1.22 carat, a gem whose medium color intensity carries the warm, sunlit character that collectors cherish. Every facet tells of careful selection and expert shaping, the mixed brilliant cut chosen to balance sparkle and depth, the excellent polish bringing clarity to a stone that contains only very very slight inclusions when evaluated at eye level. No enhancement has altered this sapphire, it remains in its natural state, a true witness to its origin.

In design this sapphire measures 6.48 x 5.93 x 3.62 mm, dimensions that make it a versatile focal point for a high end collection, whether set as a solitary pendant, a refined cocktail ring, or a bespoke heirloom piece. The cushion shape with mixed brilliant faceting captures light with a soft yet brilliant dance, offering flashes of honeyed gold and lemon when moved, and a serene inhale of color when still. Collectors will value its natural provenance, untreated purity, and the rarity of finding such transparency and polish in a warm yellow tone from Ceylon. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire not only as a beautiful stone, but as an invitation to own a piece of gemological history, a stone ready to be set by your chosen artisan, and a perfect addition to a curated collection that values story, place, and enduring beauty.
