1.31 Ct. Yellow Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are invited to own a singular treasure from the heart of Ceylon, a semi translucent yellow sapphire weighing 1.31 carat, an oval cabochon measuring 7.01 x 5.20 x 3.53 mm, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. This stone is one of those rare finds that feels both intimate and monumental, a gem whose intense yellow hue radiates a soft, inner luminosity rather than a hard flash, inviting close appreciation and quiet admiration. The cabochon cut emphasizes the gemological soul of the sapphire, smoothing the surface into a brilliant dome that showcases the very slightly included clarity visible at eye level, and a polish so exacting that the surface appears to glow under changing light. Heat treated to gently enhance its natural color, this sapphire retains a genuine, organic presence, a living color that seems to warm when set against skin, and to become the private signature of the wearer rather than a showy proclamation.

What makes this piece especially compelling for the conscious collector is not only its exceptional beauty, but the ethical care with which it arrived to our collection. Sourced from trusted artisanal deposits in Sri Lanka, this sapphire passed through a rigorous chain of custody, with full disclosure of its origin and enhancement, and with procurement practices that prioritize fair compensation and safer working conditions for the miners who unearthed it. At The Natural Sapphire Company we partner with local stewards and field experts to support environmental rehabilitation efforts, ensuring that the land and communities which give us these stones are respected and supported. For the buyer who seeks provenance as much as perfection, this gem offers more than provenance, it offers a story of stewardship and transparency, a piece that can be worn with clear conscience and quiet pride.

As a solitary, museum quality cabochon, this sapphire becomes the heart of a bespoke creation, ideal for a minimalist bezel ring, an intimate pendant, or a custom collector study where color and texture are celebrated. Its 1.31 carat size and warm, intense tone allow for elegant settings that enhance rather than overwhelm, making it perfect for the discerning owner who values rarity and restraint. Because only one of this exact character is available, acquiring it means joining an exclusive circle of collectors who own truly unique natural sapphires, each chosen for individual merit rather than massed inventory. Our gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company are available to advise on setting styles that protect the cabochon profile, and to design a piece that honors both the stone and the ethical principles behind it. This is more than a gem, it is a considered acquisition for a conscious wardrobe, a future heirloom imbued with the provenance of Ceylon, the subtlety of a cabochon, and the quiet confidence of a responsibly sourced treasure.
