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

There is a quiet morning inside a yellow flame, there is a hush of sunlight that has been gathered and held, and that hush lives within this oval cabochon from The Natural Sapphire Company, there is a gentle, semi translucent glow that floats like honeyed air, and when you lift it to the light it answers with a soft chorus of warmth, the feeling of a memory written in color. This stone weighs 1.31 carats, and its oval proportions of 7.01 x 5.20 x 3.53 mm give it a presence that is intimate without being shy, a companion stone that will fit against skin and heart alike. The cut is cabochon, the surface shaped to cradle light rather than fracture it, and the polish is excellent, a mirror finish that whispers rather than shouts. Its clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a gentle honesty that lends depth and a sense of origin to its glow. The color intensity is intense, a true sunlight yellow that reads as joyful and serene together. The sapphire has been heat treated, as many fine sapphires are, to reveal its fullest personality, and it is a true child of Ceylon Sri Lanka, carrying the island warmth and the long history of sapphires that have come from those storied soils.

Imagine this yellow cabochon set into a ring, imagine it as the center of a necklace that rests over the heart, imagine it paired with soft diamonds or with warm rose gold, it will flatter any metal and any intention. The cabochon form smooths the stone into an ovoid of light, offering flashes of internal movement when it turns, a subtle play that is calming to the eye and comforting to the hand. At 1.31 carats it has enough scale to make a quiet statement, and at 7.01 x 5.20 x 3.53 mm it sits with feminine proportion, neither too small to be overlooked nor too large to be precarious, it is the perfect size for those who favor intimacy over ostentation. The intense yellow color suggests dawn and new beginnings, making it perfect for engagement rings that promise a future, or for anniversary gifts that celebrate a golden chapter, or for heirloom pieces meant to be passed down with stories attached. The very slightly included clarity is visible only upon careful inspection, a reminder that natural beauty carries its history inside, and that every small feather or trace is a mark of a life given form beneath the earth.

As a gemologist and a storyteller for The Natural Sapphire Company, I invite you to hold this image of the stone against the life you imagine, to feel how its warmth might echo your vows, your quiet promises, your daily celebrations. We can advise on settings that will elevate the cabochon profile, we can suggest prong counts and bezel styles that protect its soft dome while showcasing its glow, and we can recommend complementary accent stones to frame its yellow light. If you prefer modern minimalism or vintage filigree, this sapphire will lend itself willingly, absorbing the mood of the design and returning it in a deeper hue. Our craftsmen will set it with care, honoring the excellent polish and the heat treatment that opened its color, and we will note its Ceylon origin as part of its story, a lineage of color that has inspired lovers and makers for centuries. Let this yellow sapphire be the beginning of something luminous, let it carry your words across years, and allow us at The Natural Sapphire Company to help you place this small sun where it will be cherished, every day and forever.
