1.24 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape greenish yellow sapphire weighs 1.24 carat, and measures 7.84 x 5.79 x 3.78 mm, presenting a transparent table and well balanced proportions that favor strong light return. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style, the pavilion combines deep, precisely angled facets with a crown that maintains a restrained table, producing a lively interplay of scintillation and subtle dispersion. The mixed brilliant faceting is optimized to concentrate the medium color intensity through the crown, preserving the greenish yellow hue while allowing lively flashes of white light from the pavilion facets, and the excellent polish enhances facet crispness and mirror like reflections. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal internal features that do not compromise transparency or brilliance, and the girdle and symmetry are executed to commercial exacting standards to ensure secure setting and consistent optical performance. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the stone has undergone heat treatment to stabilize and improve color uniformity, which is a widely accepted enhancement that yields predictable and durable results.

The dimensions and clarity of this sapphire make it particularly well suited for a statement piece, the 7.84 mm length and teardrop silhouette offer an elegant visual scale that sits prominently as a ring center or pendant focal point without appearing bulky, and the excellent transparency allows the medium color to read clearly under both daylight and incandescent lighting. For jewelry design the pear profile benefits from a setting that emphasizes the point and the rounded base, options include a V tip prong or partial bezel to protect the apex, and a halo or knife edge mounting to amplify face up presence while preserving facet reflections. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select cutters with an emphasis on pavilion depth and facet alignment to maximize return of light for mixed brilliant sapphires, and this piece exemplifies that approach with strong brilliance, clean window free view, and an even color distribution. For clients seeking a distinctive, technically refined center stone that commands attention while offering reliable wearability, this greenish yellow pear sapphire presents an exceptional balance of size, clarity, and optical craftsmanship.
