1.49 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a single moment captured in light, a memory transformed into a jewel you can wear every day, a warm glow that speaks of sunshine and celebration. This 1.49 carat cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers exactly that feeling, its heart beating with a medium color intensity that is both joyful and refined. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish deliver lively facets that dance with every movement, creating flashes of gold and amber that feel like laughter in motion. At 7.93 by 6.33 by 3.79 mm the proportions are perfectly balanced for a ring, pendant, or a pair of earrings, large enough to be noticed and admired, yet intimate enough to feel like a private treasure. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which allows the stone to remain predominantly transparent, while the subtle inclusions remind you that this is a natural creation, touched by the earth and perfected by skilled hands. This sapphire has been heat treated to deepen and stabilize its color, a common and accepted enhancement that enhances the innate beauty without changing the soul of the gem.

When set in jewelry this orangish yellow tone becomes a chameleon of emotion, complementing every skin tone with a different kind of magic. On fair skin the stone reads like sunlight poured into a locket, its warm golden flashes bringing a fresh, youthful glow to the complexion, brightening pink undertones and adding an elegant warmth that makes features softly luminous. For medium or olive skin the sapphire resonates harmoniously, its orange notes picking up golden undertones in the skin and creating a rich, sun soaked contrast that feels both exotic and familiar. It becomes a statement of confidence, the kind of piece that seems to have always belonged to you. On warm deep skin tones the gem blooms into opulence, the medium intensity allowing the orangish yellow to stand out without overpowering, creating a regal presence that plays beautifully against bronze and caramel hues, turning every gesture into a small celebration. For cool undertones the warmth of the sapphire creates a striking counterpoint, offering a complementary balance that warms the complexion in a flattering way, especially when paired with white metals that lift the stone and let its internal flashes become focal points.

How you set this gem will further enhance its conversation with the skin, and The Natural Sapphire Company can help you choose the perfect setting to make your heart sing. A warm yellow gold setting melts into the orangish tones and creates a seamless, vintage inspired look that feels like a sunlit heirloom, perfect for those who cherish warmth and continuity. Rose gold adds a romantic whisper, amplifying the stone’s orange facets for a modern feminine feel that flatters both cool and warm undertones, while white gold or platinum provides crisp contrast, making the sapphire appear brighter and more jewel like, ideal for those who prefer a contemporary silhouette. Halo settings with delicate melee sparkles can increase perceived size and add a halo of light that makes the cushion shape glow, while a minimalist bezel or solitaire will keep the focus on the gem’s inner fire and allow the color to interact directly with skin tones. Imagine slipping this cushion sapphire into a simple ring band for daily elegance, or into a pendant that rests over the heart, allowing every close conversation to be warmed by that golden light. Each choice tells a different story of love, of joy, of personal style, and because this sapphire is naturally formed and responsibly sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, you carry a connection to a place and a legacy when you wear it.
