1.24 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape yellow sapphire weighs 1.24 carat, and measures 8.24 by 5.07 by 3.72 mm, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that is engineered to maximize both brightness and scintillation. The mixed brilliant design combines a precise brilliant style crown with a carefully faceted pavilion, enabling efficient capture and return of light. Crown facets act to disperse and reflect incident light across the table and upper facets, while the pavilion angles channel light back through the crown facets, creating a balanced interplay of brilliance and sparkle. The elongated pear silhouette concentrates reflection toward the tapered tip and broadens across the rounded end, producing an even spread of lively flashes with directional movement when the gem is viewed in motion. Excellent polish on every facet edge preserves sharp junctions and minimizes light leakage, reinforcing the stone s overall ability to reflect and refract light with clarity.

The sapphire is transparent, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which allows unobstructed passage of light and enhances visual depth. Its intense yellow color benefits from beryllium diffusion, a disclosed enhancement that produces a uniform and saturated hue while maintaining the gem s structural integrity. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka lends geological context, as sapphires from this region are noted for lively color and clean material. For settings, the mixed brilliant cut performs well in both open back and prong mounting styles that permit maximum light entry from beneath and around the stone, and the pear shape adapts elegantly to both solitaire and halo frameworks. The Natural Sapphire Company provides full disclosure of treatment, grade, and origin, and this piece is offered with documentation that supports its characteristics and provenance. This sapphire is suitable as a refined center stone for thoughtful bespoke jewellery, where its balanced cut, intense color, and superior polish will contribute sustained brilliance and a clean visual presence.
