1.52 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 1.52 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a rare combination of size, proportion, and clarity, with dimensions of 7.36 by 4.99 by 3.87 mm, an intense color intensity, a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Compared to many yellow stones on the market, which can show washed out tones, heavy inclusions, or uneven color distribution, this sapphire stands out for its uniform golden hue and clean presentation under magnification. Heat treatment has been applied, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the industry that improves color without compromising the natural origin, so you receive the visual appeal of a highly saturated yellow sapphire while retaining the traceable provenance of a Sri Lankan gem. Where commercial alternatives might lean toward lower cost materials such as citrine or synthetic sapphires that lack long term durability and resale value, this natural Ceylon sapphire delivers both long lasting beauty and the confidence of authenticity that serious collectors and designers demand.

The emerald cut is a sophisticated choice that highlights the gematics of this yellow sapphire in a way that many brilliant cuts cannot, because the rectangular step facets emphasize color and clarity over scintillation, creating a broad, luminous table that showcases the depth and evenness of the intense yellow tone. Compared with round or cushion cuts that disperse light into sparkle rather than expanses of color, the emerald cut on this stone allows the eye to appreciate the pure, sunny saturation across the surface, making it ideal for settings where color is the focal point. Its excellent polish enhances the crispness of each facet junction, producing mirror like surfaces that reflect light consistently and elevate perceived size. For buyers choosing between similar carat weights, this 1.52 carat emerald cut piece offers a more elegant, architectural presence than many smaller or more heavily included stones in the same price bracket, and because sapphires are second in hardness only to diamonds, it is a practical choice for everyday jewelry, with greater durability than yellow topaz or yellow beryl.

When set into jewelry, the intense yellow of this sapphire complements a broad spectrum of skin tones, and the emerald cut makes the color read with clarity and poise. On fair skin, the golden hue introduces warmth and a radiant glow, creating a flattering contrast that brightens the complexion, and when mounted in yellow gold the stone takes on a classic, sunlit personality, while a white metal setting provides a high contrast, modern look that emphasizes the gem as the center of attention. For medium or olive complexions, this yellow sapphire accents natural undertones and lifts warm highlights, producing a lively, harmonious effect that feels naturally integrated, and rose gold offers a soft, romantic frame that enhances the gem without overpowering it, whereas platinum or white gold will give a crisp, contemporary edge. On deeper skin tones the intense yellow becomes luminous and jewel like, almost lantern bright, and is particularly striking in larger solitaire settings, where the color plays against the richness of the skin and creates an unmistakable, luxurious statement. This versatility makes the sapphire an outstanding choice for customized engagement rings, elegant pendants, or striking cocktail rings, because the same stone can be tuned to different aesthetics simply by choosing complementary metal tones and setting styles.

In terms of value and uniqueness, this Ceylon yellow sapphire represents a superior option when compared to many stones available online or in retail chains, because it combines natural origin, a recognized heat treatment that stabilizes and enhances color, an expert cut that maximizes visual impact, and an excellent polish that optimizes light performance, all delivered by The Natural Sapphire Company with the transparency and service standards our clientele expect. Where mass market pieces may offer similar color but conceal clarity issues or uncertain origins, we provide full disclosure, and our experience in sourcing Sri Lankan sapphires allows us to select material with genuine character and investment appeal. For customers who want to commission bespoke work, this gemstone responds beautifully to bezel and prong settings alike, and its proportions make it easy to center in halo designs or pair with tapered baguettes for a balanced profile. If you are weighing alternatives, consider the combination of durability, resale potential, and timeless elegance that a natural Ceylon sapphire brings to any jewelry piece, and contact The Natural Sapphire Company for detailed imagery, mounting suggestions, and certification, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
