1.22 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular stone that completes an engagement ring, crowns a cocktail piece, or becomes the showstopper in a collector curated collection, this yellow sapphire answers that need with confidence and elegance. This is a transparent 1.22 carat round yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it has the exact proportions and presence to end your search. With dimensions of 6.25 x 6.28 x 4.13 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, this gem delivers a balanced combination of face up size and depth, creating a strong visual impact whether set as a solitaire or embraced by a halo. The medium intense golden yellow color is lively without overwhelming, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet interacts cleanly with light, producing consistent sparkle from every angle.

Size matters when you want a statement piece, and 1.22 carat is a beautiful, wearable weight that reads larger than its number when well cut. The near perfect round outline and mixed brilliant faceting maximize spread across the top, giving you a commanding presence on the finger while maintaining comfortable proportions for everyday wear. Clarity has been evaluated as slightly included at eye level, a grade that most buyers will find ideal for a statement sapphire. Inclusions in sapphires often act like fingerprints, confirming natural origin and individuality, and in this example they are not distracting to the naked eye. Combined with the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, the result is a vivid play of light and scintillation that keeps attention on the gem rather than on internal features.

Provenance and treatment are important for collectors and thoughtful buyers, and this sapphire carries both credibility and stability. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka is famed for producing sapphires with lively color and attractive saturation, and the medium intense yellow tones here are a classic representation of that terroir. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity while remaining permanent under normal wear. Sapphire is a durable gem second only to diamond in hardness, making it a practical choice for an engagement ring or a frequently worn statement piece. For daily wear consider a secure prong setting or a low profile bezel for protection, or choose a raised gallery and light enhancing setting to emphasize the mixed brilliant cut and increase sparkle.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that you are not just buying a stone, you are choosing the centerpiece of a story. This yellow sapphire is an ideal match for clients who want a distinctive color and a clear, confident presence without sacrificing wearability or versatility. Pair it with warm metals like yellow or rose gold to intensify the golden hue, or set it in platinum or white gold for modern contrast that makes the yellow pop. Add a halo of small white diamonds to increase apparent size and brilliance, or select tapered side stones for an elegant engagement ring silhouette. We offer personalized consultations, custom design services, and expert guidance on settings and maintenance, so you can make this Ceylon yellow sapphire uniquely yours.
