1.50 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mineral rich hills of Ceylon Sri Lanka this pear shape yellow sapphire began its journey as a crystalline heart within ancient rock, born of corundum and the gentle presence of trace elements that give it its sunny personality. Hand selected by The Natural Sapphire Company from a parcel of Sri Lankan sapphires, this 1.50 carat gem, measuring 8.93 by 5.53 by 4.11 mm, carries the quiet history of artisanal mining and local gem cutting traditions. The rough was carefully evaluated for its internal clarity and color potential, and with considerate heat treatment the golden hues deepened to a medium intense saturation that highlights the stone without overpowering it. Cut into a graceful pear shape with a mixed brilliant faceting, and given an excellent polish, the finished gem reflects both the skill of the cutter and the long standing love for Ceylon sapphires that connect cultures and collectors alike.

The sparkle of this sapphire is born from its inner architecture, the inherent arrangement of corundum and the precise geometry of the mixed brilliant cut working together to maximize light return, scintillation, and spectral flashes. The crown and pavilion facets are proportioned to channel light through the table and back to the eye, producing a lively play of brilliance and subtle fire, a quality that sets this gem apart from more common cuts. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level the stone appears clean to the naked eye, allowing uninterrupted beams of light to travel through the crystal lattice and emerge as bright, sharp reflections. The mixed brilliant design blends the depth of a faceted pavilion with the lively top facet pattern, creating a balance of flash and depth that feels both modern and timeless. Finished with an excellent polish, each facet edge is crisp, enhancing contrast and giving the yellow sapphire a lively personality that sparkles from every angle. For those seeking a gem with provenance, craftsmanship, and a luminous presence, this Sri Lankan pear shape yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a direct line from earth to setting, ready to be treasured for generations.
