1.53 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This yellow sapphire began its journey in the gem rich hills of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where skilled miners extracted a transparent rough exhibiting a naturally occurring yellow hue. The rough was carefully evaluated at source for crystal quality and clarity, then transported to experienced cutters who recognized its potential for an oval mixed brilliant cut. During the cutting process the stone was measured precisely, and faceting was planned to balance brilliance with color retention. The cutter achieved exact proportions resulting in dimensions of 7.35 by 6.04 by 4.57 millimeters, and brought the stone to an excellent polish that maximizes light return. Throughout this sequence no enhancement was applied, preserving the sapphire in its natural state, and the stone was independently graded for clarity and color prior to selection by The Natural Sapphire Company.

At market the gem presents as a transparent 1.53 carat oval shape yellow sapphire, with a mixed brilliant cut that provides lively scintillation and a balanced spread of light. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which yields a clean appearance to the unaided eye while retaining the natural character of the crystal. Color intensity is medium, offering a warm yellow that reads clearly without overpowering brightness, suitable for a range of settings and metal choices. The combination of weight, proportions, and excellent polish make this sapphire an appealing center stone for fine jewelry, and its unenhanced origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds documented provenance. The Natural Sapphire Company selected and presented this gem with full attention to its cutting history, grading attributes, and visual performance, ensuring an accurate and professional representation for jewelers and collectors alike.
