1.35 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.35 carat oval yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a refined example of natural color and material integrity, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and presented with no enhancement. The measurements of 7.90 x 5.81 x 3.64 mm give this gem balanced proportions for use in both classic and contemporary settings, and the medium color intensity delivers a warm, sunny presence without overpowering the stone or the mounting. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not materially affect face up appearance or light return under normal viewing. The excellent polish further elevates the presentation, producing crisp facet junctions and clean surfaces that allow the stone to show its natural transparency and internal glow. For the educated buyer, an untreated Ceylon yellow sapphire in this weight and clarity range represents a desirable combination of origin prestige, natural color, and durability, because Ceylon remains renowned for producing lively, well saturated sapphires that respond beautifully to precise cutting.

The mixed brilliant cut on this oval shape has been executed to optimize the sapphire’s inherent optical properties, using a blended arrangement of step and brilliant style facets to maximize both brilliance and scintillation. The top facets form a broad table and thoughtfully proportioned crown to encourage even light entry, while the pavilion facets are arranged to reduce light leakage and to return light as lively flashes, giving the gem a sparkling, dynamic appearance in motion. The oval outline elongates the visual face up area relative to the weight, so this 1.35 carat stone reads slightly larger on the finger, and the facet symmetry and excellent polish work together to enhance both white light return and selective yellow dispersion. For connoisseurs evaluating gemstones on technical merit, this sapphire’s untreated origin, stable medium color, precise mixed brilliant cutting, and very slightly included clarity make it a trustworthy choice for high quality jewelry and long term ownership, and The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with setting recommendations that preserve the visual advantages of the cut and maximize the gem’s presence.
