The 1.31 carat round shape yellow sapphire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company is an exemplar of fine gemstone craftsmanship. Its precise dimensions of 6.40 x 6.41 x 4.06 mm are a testament to the care taken in every stage of its creation, from cutting to polishing. This particular sapphire showcases a mixed brilliant cut, designed to maximize the refractive qualities of the stone. The mixed brilliant cut expertly combines different faceting styles. Larger facets are used along the crown to capture incoming light while smaller, strategically angled facets in the pavillion allow light to reflect internally before exiting, creating a sparkle that is both captivating and unique. Each facet is positioned with precision to ensure the play of light is both dynamic and consistent, heightening the natural brilliance of the gemstone.

The captivating sparkle of this sapphire is unmistakably enhanced by its clarity and color grade. With a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, it exhibits minor inclusions that do not distract from its overall beauty. These inclusions, often wispy or crystal-like, are characteristic of natural sapphires and confirm the authenticity of the stone. Such clarity allows light to pass through the gemstone with minimal interference, contributing to its remarkable luminosity. Paired with a medium intense color intensity, this sapphire exudes a vibrant yellow hue that is both rich and alluring. The yellow coloration of this gemstone is enhanced by the sapphire's origin from Ceylon, known for producing stones with excellent color saturation thanks to the region's unique geological composition.

The excellent polish of this sapphire further amplifies its visual appeal. Achieving an outstanding polish requires advanced craftsmanship techniques, where the artist methodically smooths the gemstone surface to a mirror-like finish. This process does not only add to its external beauty but also plays a crucial role in maximizing its internal glow. As light interacts with the polished surfaces, both its brilliance and life are projected outward in a dazzling display. Such a high level of craft ensures that the natural properties of the sapphire are fully realized, distinguishing it from lesser stones and accentuating its exquisite quality. The skill involved in attaining this level of polish cannot be overstated and is a defining characteristic that knowledgeable buyers seek.

The origin of this exquisite yellow sapphire from Ceylon adds both historical and quality significance to the stone.
