1.26 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a captivating story of transformation that spans centuries. It is here, amidst verdant tea plantations and the vibrant dance of monsoon rains, that nature cradles one of its most alluring treasures — the yellow sapphire. This particular gemstone, a dazzling creation of Earth itself, began its journey deep within mineral-rich soils millions of years ago. Through relentless geological processes and the patient passage of time, our 1.26 carat yellow sapphire emerged, refined by pressure and heat, until it gained its enchanting hue and unique character.

Resembling a drop of captured sunshine, this gemstone boasts an almost celestial radiance. Its oval shape with dimensions of 7.18 x 5.12 x 4.06 mm reveals the skilled craftsmanship of our artisans. Every facet, every contour of this sapphire is thoughtfully shaped to catch and reflect light, resulting in a lustrous display of reflections brought to life by a mixed brilliant cut. It speaks of an unbroken chain of local expertise and traditional knowledge passed down through generations of gem cutters. The result? An excellent polish that seems to beckon a deeper connection to its storied origin.

Yet, it is the inclusions — those charming internal fissures — that narrate tales older than civilization itself and give this gemstone an unmistakable signature. Rather than imperfections, these inclusions are echoes of the sapphire’s storied past, maps to its ancient beginnings. They remind us of the world from which the gem was born, offering a gentle nod to its heritage while being polished to near perfection. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we cherish this history and the bond it forges with those who seek something as singular as their own story. Here, beneath its immaculate surface lies an invitation to embrace both its robust legacy and the subtle, beautiful irregularities that signify authenticity and antiquity. In every way, this yellow sapphire is more than a mere ornament, it is a timeless connection to a land rich in culture and a past marked by natural majesty.
