1.44 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a hush of dawn captured in this pear shaped yellow sapphire, a soft and radiant promise that slips from the heart of the earth into the palm. Weighing 1.44 carat, its graceful teardrop silhouette measures 8.34 x 5.45 x 4.17 mm, dimensions that carry the intimacy of a secret and the presence of a sunbeam. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the facet geometry is arranged to coax a steady, lively fire from within, each plane polished to an excellent finish so that light travels cleanly through the stone and spills into warm golden reflections. The body of the gem is transparent, a clarity grade that reads very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so that to the eye it reads as luminous and serene, while its natural, untouched nature is made plain by the fact of no enhancement. Born in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this bright yellow sapphire arrives with provenance and personality, a jewel that seems to have been held briefly by light itself and then offered to be worn.

Sapphires of Ceylon have long been woven into the rituals of love and protection, carried as talismans by sailors and scholars, set into crowns and rings for those who wished to anchor their intentions in the world. Yellow sapphires in particular have been cherished across cultures for their association with joy, prosperity, and the gentle clarity of devotion. In ancient and modern ceremonies alike these stones have marked unions and oaths, laid into bridal ornaments to catch the eye and to reflect vows. This gem continues that lineage, a contemporary heir to an art that favors endurance over flash, and quiet depth over ostentation. When you choose a gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing more than a beautiful material object, you are choosing a chapter in an age old story of love, wisdom, and the way light can hold meaning.

For the jeweller and the lover who delights in craft, the technical virtues of this sapphire will speak plainly and insistently. The mixed brilliant cut unites the best of round and step influences, producing scintillation across the crown and a luminous depth down through the pavilion. The excellent polish ensures that each table and bezel meets the eye with a smooth, mirror like finish, which enhances wearability and the gem's daily conversation with light. With a medium light color intensity the yellow feels affectionate rather than aggressive, a hue like wildflower honey warmed by summer sun, offering versatility beside both white and warm metals. At 8.34 x 5.45 x 4.17 mm the dimensions are ideal for an elegant solitaire, a classic pendant, or as the center of a cluster, providing a presence that is neither timid nor overpowering. The clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a natural fingerprint that confirms the gem is real, and because there has been no enhancement the stone retains its original character, its Ceylon origin a note of authenticity and history.

Imagine this pear shaped yellow sapphire cradled in a ring of soft gold, catching the light when hands meet and hold, or suspended from a delicate chain close to the heart where it catches morning and evening alike. Picture it framed by tiny white diamonds that trace the outline of the teardrop, a constellation of small fires that accentuate rather than compete with the stone's sunny core. Such a gem invites personalization and narrative, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we delight in helping those narratives find form, advising on settings that honor the sapphire's dimensions and color, and on metal choices that will sing with its warmth. This is a jewel that speaks of promises kept, of laughter shared beneath open skies, of the gentle gravity of a life made bright by small, faithful things. If you seek a gemstone with lineage, with honesty, and with an invitation to be worn every day, this Ceylon yellow sapphire offers itself like a piece of summer, ready to become a memory.
