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

This transparent cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire weighs 1.54 carat, and measures 6.30 x 5.95 x 4.59 mm. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, providing a balance between faceted brilliance and pavilion depth. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the surface finish is described as excellent polish. The color intensity is classified as intense, presenting a saturated and lively orangish yellow tone. The stone originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it has undergone standard heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color characteristics. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this sapphire with full disclosure of its origin and enhancement, and with photographic documentation that illustrates the gem proportions and how the stone presents in hand.

Color is the defining attribute of this sapphire, and the intense orangish yellow hue will command attention in any jewelry setting. The mixed brilliant cut translates the saturation into multiple reflective planes, creating scintillation and color flashes as the gem moves. Under direct light the crown facets return vivid yellow and golden orange tones, while in softer illumination the gem displays a warm honey like glow. The transparency of the stone allows light to penetrate and refract through the pavilion, enhancing depth and making color appear stable from several viewing angles. Whether set as a single center stone or paired with accent diamonds or colored gemstones, the intense saturation ensures the sapphire remains the visual focal point, providing a contemporary alternative to traditional yellow gemstones.

Practical considerations for design and wear are straightforward, given the gem proportions and material properties. The 6.30 x 5.95 mm cushion outline sits comfortably within standard mounting seats for rings, earrings and pendants, and the 4.59 mm depth supports secure bezel or prong settings without an overly high profile. Sapphires are known for their durability and hardness, and this example retains the robust wearability expected of corundum. The slightly included clarity grade indicates natural internal features that are typical for gemstones of this class, and these inclusions do not impede the gem optics at normal viewing distances. The excellent polish contributes to clean facet junctions and crisp light return, and the heat treatment applied is a common and stable enhancement used to produce uniform, marketable color. For designers and clients seeking precise color placement, the Ceylon origin suggests a palette consistent with Sri Lankan sapphires, often prized for warm golden and orangish tones.

In settings where a striking color presence is desired, this sapphire performs reliably and with understated elegance. The intense orangish yellow shade pairs effectively with warm metal choices such as yellow gold and rose gold, where the metal tone complements the gem color, and it also offers attractive contrast when set in platinum or white gold paired with white diamonds. The mixed brilliant cut and measured proportions create a balance between fire and color, allowing the gem to read as vibrant without appearing neon or oversaturated. The Natural Sapphire Company provides this sapphire with clear documentation and high resolution images to assist in design planning, and the stone is suitable for bespoke commissions or ready to be set into a refined piece. Overall, the combination of color intensity, transparency, cut quality and Ceylon provenance ensures that this 1.54 carat cushion saffire will stand out in any jewelry setting, delivering a consistent and visually compelling presence.
