1.44 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.44 carat pear shape yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a refined example of natural gemology and careful lapidary work, transparent with a light color intensity that reads as a delicate, sunlit yellow. The stone measures 8.87 x 6.13 x 3.81 mm, producing a length to width ratio of approximately 1.45, a proportion that preserves classic pear shape elegance while providing excellent wearability in rings and pendants. Clarity is graded slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the gem shows only minor internal characteristics that do not detract from its overall appearance, and the polish is excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and smooth pavilion and crown planes. This sapphire has not been subjected to any enhancement, an important consideration for collectors who prioritize natural, untreated material.

The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant facet arrangement to maximize scintillation on the crown, with modified pavilion facets that balance light return and color distribution. The measured depth of 3.81 mm corresponds to roughly 43 percent of the stone length, a depth that maintains strong internal reflection without sacrificing face up spread, and the facet symmetry has been executed to enhance both dispersion and even color zoning. Under controlled lighting the stone displays lively flashes from the crown, while in softer lighting the light yellow tone becomes more apparent, demonstrating the subtle interplay between hue, saturation, and cut geometry. Slight inclusions are positioned and sized in a manner that does not interrupt the gemological performance of the sapphire, and the unenhanced origin from Ceylon contributes to its natural appeal and rarity.

As offered by The Natural Sapphire Company this 1.44 carat pear yellow sapphire is an ideal addition to a high end gemstone collection, combining provenance, natural state, and technically strong cutting to appeal to connoisseurs. Its dimensions and proportions make it suitable as a sophisticated center stone for bespoke jewelry, and its untreated status enhances its desirability for collectors who value natural integrity. For those evaluating gemstones on technical merit, this sapphire presents a balanced package of carat weight, proportion, polish, and optical performance, making it a distinguished acquisition for a discerning collection.
