1.49 Ct. Yellowish Brown Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.49 carat transparent oval sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, stands apart from many market alternatives because it blends rare, natural origin with excellent cutting and polish. Measuring 7.30 by 6.54 by 4.02 millimeters, the stone has a mixed brilliant cut that delivers exceptional light return for a warm yellowish brown face up, and its very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level means the gem appears clean and lively to the naked eye. Compared with similar weight stones on the market such as heat treated topaz or lower grade brown sapphires, this Sri Lankan gem shows a more complex, honeyed character and consistently lively scintillation thanks to its excellent polish and precise faceting. The medium color intensity gives it versatility, looking elegant and understated in daylight while revealing richer golden and amber flashes under incandescent light, which makes it superior for both everyday wear and special occasion pieces.

Natural sapphires are known for their durability and enduring beauty, and this instance is no exception, with a hardness that resists scratches and a stable heat treatment that enhances clarity and color without compromising longevity. When compared to lab grown alternatives, this Ceylon sapphire retains intrinsic geographic appeal and investment value that many buyers seek, while offering a more interesting palette than common commercial colors. Set in a thoughtfully designed mounting the oval shape and near one and a half carat weight will create a strong presence on the finger or as a pendant center that will continue to captivate over the years as the stone interacts with changing light and everyday life. With provenance from Sri Lanka and the quality standards of The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is a refined choice for collectors and jewelry lovers who want a rare warm tone, excellent face up appearance, and the confidence that the gem will remain beautiful and wearable for decades.
