1.38 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment you present a gift that glows with the warmth of a sunrise, a cushion of light that makes a loved one gasp with joy. This exquisite 1.38 carat yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is that unforgettable moment made tangible. Measuring 6.99 by 6.27 by 3.51 millimeters, its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut catch and scatter light with a lively, modern sparkle while preserving a timeless, romantic silhouette. The gem’s medium intense yellow color radiates cheerful optimism without overpowering, and its excellent polish delivers a silky, gleaming surface that invites touch and admiration. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, this transparent stone offers clean, honest clarity, allowing its luminous body color and faceting to sing with clarity. Unenhanced and sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the story of nature’s artistry, free from treatments, making it an authentic choice for meaningful occasions and heirloom designs.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire is built to last, and that durability is one of its most practical charms. Sapphires are corundum, and on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness they rate a 9, second only to diamond, which rates 10. That means this sapphire is far more scratch resistant than commonly used gemstones like quartz, which rates 7, and topaz at 8, and it withstands daily wear far better than many popular stones. For someone who wants a ring or piece they can wear every day without worry, this Ceylon yellow sapphire delivers both sparkle and resilience. Its robustness, combined with a very slightly included clarity and excellent polish, ensures it will retain its presence and brilliance through years of celebrations, quiet mornings, and the small adventures of everyday life. At The Natural Sapphire Company we love helping customers choose gems that become part of their stories, and this cushion yellow sapphire is a joyful, long-lasting choice that promises to mark moments with warmth and lasting beauty.
