1.37 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a single sunlit morning folded into a jewel, a quiet dawn captured beneath a perfect oval of fire and glass. This is a yellow sapphire that speaks in soft light, a transparent 1.37 carat oval shape that carries the warmth of sunlight without haste. Its hue is gentle, a light color intensity that leans toward lemon and champagne in different moments, like the first golden thread of a new day. When you hold it, the gem seems to breathe, offering a calm radiance that feels both intimate and grand. The size is gracious without being showy, an invitation rather than a proclamation, and it promises to sit upon a finger as if it belonged there forever.

Lift the stone and you will see the careful geometry of its faceting, the mixed brilliant cut that scatters the light into a quiet dance. Every facet has been polished to an excellent finish, so that brilliance travels across the surface like a whispered vow. The cutting style is faceted, balanced between sparkle and depth, revealing flashes of fire as the gem turns. Clarity is a gift, with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning the visible world of the stone is mostly pure, with character that proves its natural origin. Its dimensions of 7.62 x 6.23 x 3.65 mm give it a classical oval profile, elegant and versatile, able to be set in a solitaire that sings simplicity, or cradled by a halo that deepens its glow.
