1.39 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the riverbeds and ancient terrains of Ceylon Sri Lanka comes a yellow sapphire with a quiet biography, formed deep within the metamorphic folds of the island over millions of years. Miners working old family claims and modern pits have long told stories of Ceylon sapphires that combine clarity and lively color, and this 1.39 carat round gem carries that heritage in its facets. Transparent and gently warmed by nature and human hands alike, it displays a medium intense yellow hue that evokes sunlit tea leaves and warm afternoon light, a color prized in Sri Lankan gem lore. The origin of this stone in Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that collectors and connoisseurs value because it ties the gem to a historic source renowned for producing sapphires with lively tone and elegant transparency, and knowing where a gem began brings the wearer closer to the land and the people who shaped it.

Cut as a round mixed brilliant measuring 7.01 by 7.01 by 3.99 millimeters, and finished to an excellent polish, this sapphire was shaped to maximize sparkle while preserving weight and proportion. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded very very slightly included, which means the stone looks clean to the naked eye while retaining natural character that confirms its authenticity. Like many fine sapphires, it has been heat treated to enhance stability and color, a widely accepted and disclosed enhancement that allows the medium intense tones of this sapphire to sing. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace each stone from its origin to our bench, and we work with skilled cutters to bring out the best optical performance in every facet. The result is a gem that speaks of volcanic time, careful hands, and contemporary craftsmanship, ready to be set into a ring that will carry the history of Ceylon Sri Lanka with grace and luminous warmth.
