1.44 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the precise hands of our master cutters, this transparent 1.44 carat yellow sapphire carries a story that is as warm as its color, and as resilient as the stone itself. Born in the storied mines of Ceylon, a region renowned for producing sapphires with lively tone and exceptional clarity, this oval shaped gem measures 7.26 by 5.34 by 4.52 millimeters, and was shaped with a faceted mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with classical symmetry. Each facet was polished to an excellent finish, allowing light to enter and return with a lively fire, while the light color intensity gives the gem a sunny, elegant presence that reads beautifully in any jewelry setting. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is slightly included, which is a natural fingerprint of the earth that adds character rather than distraction. This sapphire is unheated and otherwise untreated, a rare and honest expression of its Ceylon origin, and a testament to The Natural Sapphire Company commitment to sourcing natural, untreated stones that celebrate provenance and authenticity.

Beyond its provenance and beauty this yellow sapphire is built for everyday life, a jewel meant to be worn and lived in rather than locked away. Sapphire rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond in durability among natural gemstones, and this exceptional hardness makes it highly resistant to scratches and suitable for rings bracelets pendants and earrings that see regular use. The mixed brilliant cut enhances durability by distributing light and impact across well considered facet junctions, while the excellent polish reduces surface wear over time. Because the gem is unenhanced its color and structure are stable with normal wear, and with simple care such as avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden hard knocks it will retain its brilliance for generations. Holding this yellow sapphire is to hold a piece of Ceylon history, a gem that has traveled from ancient alluvial streams through skilled craftsmanship to become a wearable talisman. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are proud to present stones with stories and resilience, ready to become part of your everyday life and your family legacy.
