1.46 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a yellow sapphire that answers both the heart and the practical needs of everyday life, this transparent oval sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is the perfect solution, a gem that resolves the search at once. This is a one point four six carat oval shape yellow sapphire, with precise dimensions of seven point four zero by six point zero three by three point eight eight millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fire and scintillation. The clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means it looks clean and luminous to the naked eye, and the polish is excellent, allowing the surface to reflect light with crisp clarity. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and left wholly natural with no enhancement, this sapphire carries the rare and prized character of an untreated stone, making it ideal for someone who wants authenticity and lasting beauty.

If you are choosing a center stone for an engagement ring or a distinctive piece for a collector, the medium intense yellow hue of this sapphire delivers warmth and presence without overpowering other design elements. The mixed brilliant cut has been tailored to bring out strong internal fire and lively sparkle, while the oval shape offers a flattering silhouette on the finger, creating the perception of elongation and elegance. At one point four six carats the stone is substantial without being too large, and the proportions work well in classic solitaire settings as well as more modern halo or three stone designs. The very very slightly included clarity grade means light travels through the gem with little interruption, so the color remains steady and the overall appearance is crisp. Because the sapphire is untreated, the color you see is the color you keep, a natural yellow that reflects the volcanic and alluvial soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region famed for producing some of the most desirable sapphires in the world.

Durability is often a top concern when commissioning a piece that will be worn daily, and this sapphire performs exceptionally well in that regard. Sapphire rates nine on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which makes it one of the hardest natural gemstones available, second only to diamond which rates ten. This high hardness translates into excellent resistance to scratches and wear, so a sapphire engagement ring can withstand the bumps and knocks of everyday life with far greater resilience than many other gemstones. Compared to common jewelry stones that fall lower on the Mohs scale, this Ceylon sapphire will retain its polished facets and surface finish far longer, preserving the lively brilliance that attracted you in the first place. For settings, classic prongs will showcase the stone beautifully, while a bezel setting adds an extra layer of protection along the girdle for an active lifestyle, both options keeping the sapphire secure and emphasizing its natural beauty.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that a gemstone is more than a purchase, it is the culmination of a personal search, a memory, an intent, and a promise, and this untreated Ceylon yellow sapphire answers those needs with confidence. Our gemologists have carefully evaluated this oval sapphire, noting its medium intense color intensity, excellent polish, and natural clarity, and we are ready to help you select the ideal setting and metal to complement the warmth of the yellow hue.
