1.37 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire weighs 1.37 carat, a weight that immediately signals premium presence for a colored gemstone, and its measured dimensions of 6.61 by 6.59 by 3.29 millimeters give it an ideal footprint for rings and larger stud settings. The gem is transparent, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation while preserving a rich body of color, and an excellent polish that ensures crisp facet reflections and long lasting luster. Evaluated at eye level, this sapphire is eye clean, so when set it will present a clean and vivid face up appearance that competes with the finest market specimens. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source historically associated with some of the most sought after and characterful sapphires in the world, and the piece has been beryllium diffused to produce and stabilize its vivid orangish yellow hue. At 1.37 carat this sapphire occupies a sweet spot where presence and wearability meet value, offering a more commanding appearance than many common 0.50 to 0.90 carat yellows, while remaining practical for everyday jewelry, and The Natural Sapphire Company makes this confident, eye catching choice available with full disclosure and expert attention to cutting and finishing.

When compared to other options on the market, this 1.37 carat cushion offers distinct advantages that matter to discerning buyers who evaluate color clarity cut and provenance. Many yellow sapphires sold online and in retail channels favor lower saturation or smaller sizes, trading vividness for price reduction, or they show obvious inclusions that reduce brilliance and visual appeal. This Ceylon cushion stands apart because the vivid intensity of its orangish yellow is supported by an eye clean clarity grade and a superior polish that together produce a lively, clean look that reads as higher quality at a glance. Compared to more commonplace yellow gems such as citrine or yellow topaz this sapphire brings greater hardness and durability for everyday wear, along with the cachet and long term desirability of the corundum family. Versus untreated or less carefully finished sapphires of the same weight, the mixed brilliant faceting pattern on this stone yields better light return and a more modern, lively appearance, and the careful proportions reflected in the dimensions translate into a stone that sits well in a wide range of settings from classic solitaires to halo or vintage inspired designs.

The 1.37 carat weight is particularly important when assessing premium quality because carat size impacts both visual impact and market value, and this sapphire balances those factors in a way that many smaller or heavier stones do not. At lighter weights under one carat, even a vivid color can read as less substantial on the finger, and at much larger sizes color distribution and clarity challenges often increase production waste and cost, driving prices sharply higher. This cushion at 1.37 carat is large enough to command attention while maintaining exceptional color saturation and uniformity across the table and crown, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures that the light performance complements the vivid color rather than washing it out. The beryllium diffusion treatment used on this stone is a technically advanced process that promotes warm orangish yellow tones that might be rare in untreated material, and when fully disclosed it offers buyers a transparent way to obtain vivid color at a more accessible price point than what an untreated vivid stone of the same hue and clarity would command. The Natural Sapphire Company emphasizes clear disclosure and consistent quality control so clients know the origin treatment and characteristics of the gem, and this clarity of information is part of the premium proposition when choosing a colored sapphire.

For customers considering design and long term value, this cushion shape 1.37 carat orangish yellow sapphire is versatile and compelling, offering a bright, sunny palette that can be paired with white metals for crisp contrast or with warm gold tones for a stronger golden glow. The excellent polish and eye clean clarity reduce the need for protective bezel settings, so designers can showcase the mixed brilliant cut crown in open prong designs or halo settings that amplify brilliance and perceived size. Compared to many market alternatives, The Natural Sapphire Company supplies this gem with a focus on honest provenance from Ceylon and rigorous assessment of cut and finish, so clients receive not only a beautiful stone but a thoughtfully curated offering. For buyers seeking a vivid and durable colored sapphire that stands out from pale or included yellow stones or from less carefully cut market pieces, this 1.37 carat cushion delivers premium quality and excellent value. Our specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company are available to advise on matching pairings mounting options and the best ways to highlight this vivid orangish yellow sapphire for daily wear or for an heirloom piece, and we welcome inquiries so each client can see how this rare balance of color clarity cut and carat can elevate a custom design or ready to wear creation.
