There are stones that possess presence, and then there are rare treasures reserved for the discerning few. This exceptional orangish yellow sapphire is one such treasure, offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, and presented to a select circle of connoisseurs who understand the value of provenance, craftsmanship, and singular beauty. Weighing 1.40 carat, with a refined cushion shape and precise dimensions of 6.50 by 6.44 by 3.69 millimeters, this gem is a study in harmonious proportions. Its transparency and vivid color intensity capture the warmth of sunlight and the golden glow of dawn, while its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and depth. Sourced from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the heritage of one of the worlds most respected origins, and its rarity is underscored by the careful selection and treatment it has received. For aficionados who seek a piece that is both a statement and a legacy, this sapphire represents an opportunity to own something truly exclusive.

From every viewpoint this sapphire rewards the eye, its flawless presentation revealing new facets of beauty with each movement. Viewed crown up, the cushion outline reads classic and modern at once, the rounded corners softening the overall geometry while the array of internal pavilion facets produces a kaleidoscopic shower of light. The mixed brilliant cut blends step and brilliant elements, creating a lively interplay between scintillation and broad flashes of color, a quality that becomes more pronounced with every tilt and turn. Because the stone is transparent with a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem's visual perfection. Instead, they attest to its natural origin while permitting an unobstructed passage of light, ensuring that brilliance and fire remain uninterrupted across the entire surface. An excellent polish further refines the finish, allowing each facet to act as a precise mirror, enhancing brilliance from every angle and ensuring that the stone reads as immaculate to the unaided eye.

Technically, this sapphire combines thoughtful cutting and meticulous finishing to elevate its visual impact, and these choices are most evident in close inspection and under different lighting conditions. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes return of light to the viewer by balancing pavilion depth and crown height, while the generous table and finely proportioned crown facets allow vivid color to saturate the stone without overwhelming brightness. The gem displays a vivid orangish yellow hue that feels both warm and rare, a color tone that is highly sought after and seldom found in such concentrated intensity. To achieve and stabilize this striking color profile, the sapphire has undergone beryllium diffusion, a recognized enhancement process that enriches the stone's tone and creates uniformity of color throughout the crystal. This treatment is permanent under normal wear, and it has been fully disclosed for your confidence and peace of mind. Combined with the excellent polish and careful facet alignment, the treatment results in a gem that sparkles with a clarity and richness that appears almost flawless, reflecting light in broad, luxurious flashes that draw the eye from any perspective.
