A jewel of undeniable presence, this transparent Other certified yellow golden sapphire is a study in regal warmth and refined rarity, presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. Weighing 1.31 carats, this cushion shaped stone measures 7.12 x 4.93 x 4.07 mm, a proportion that feels both intimate and substantial on the hand, and that speaks to a level of scarcity many collectors pursue but few possess. The vivid color intensity of this sapphire evokes late afternoon light, a honeyed brilliance that is at once lively and sovereign. Every facet, cut in a considered mixed brilliant style and finished with excellent polish, becomes an invitation to linger, as light enters and returns with a sparkle that seems bespoke to this stone. Transparency of this quality, combined with a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, assures an eye clean appearance that allows the golden hue to sing without distraction, and creates a canvas for the color to be appreciated in full.

The weight of a gemstone is not merely a number. At 1.31 carats, this sapphire crosses a threshold that elevates both perception and market regard, moving beyond the commonplace into a realm where rarity becomes appreciable to the discerning owner. Carat weight influences value exponentially in fine colored gemstones, because each fraction of a carat that retains vivid saturation and clarity is exponentially rarer. In yellow sapphires, vivid color pockets of this intensity and transparency are extraordinarily uncommon as weight increases. The substance of 1.31 carats allows the gem to display depth of tone and vibrancy without the thinness that can plague smaller stones, and without the dilution of color that sometimes occurs when larger rough is overcut. For the collector who understands nuance, this weight offers an optimal balance, a presence large enough to command attention, yet refined enough to wear with casual elegance.

The art of the cut and the care of the finish play crucial roles in realizing the full potential of a 1.31 carat sapphire. The mixed brilliant cut employed here unites the scintillation of brilliant facetting with the elegance of a more classical pavilion design, creating dynamic flashes of light across a generous table that reveal the stone as both lively and stately. The excellent polish enhances these effects, producing crisp facet junctions and a smooth face that invites touch and admiration. Clarity described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means that the inclusions are minimal and do not intrude upon the gem s personality, allowing the golden hue to remain uninterrupted. Origin further deepens the story. Hailing from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the legacy of a legendary source known for producing gems with exceptional hue and tone, a provenance that adds both historical romance and tangible desirability to the physical qualities of the stone. The enhancement by heat treatment is a standard, stable and accepted practice that intensifies the color while preserving the integrity of the crystal, a subtle harmonization of nature and method that yields a result worthy of serious connoisseurs.
