1.57 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.57 carat oval yellow sapphire, measuring 8.11 by 5.94 by 3.81 millimeters, is a rare combination of size, color and clarity that stands apart from the more common market offerings. Many yellow sapphires of this carat range are either heavily saturated through heat treatment or larger but cloudy, yet this stone is naturally faint in color with an appealing, delicate yellow tone and no enhancement. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes sparkle and light return while preserving an elegant oval silhouette that suits both classic and contemporary settings. Clarity evaluated at eye level is described as very slightly included, which translates to exceptional transparency for a natural Ceylon sapphire, and the excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions and lively scintillation from every angle.

Compared with other yellow sapphires available today, this gem’s untreated status and provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, provide distinct advantages in authenticity and lasting value. Many stones that look yellow on the market have been heat-enhanced to intensify hue, or they achieve similar visual appeal only at much larger sizes but with compromises in clarity. This 1.57 carat oval strikes a rare balance: it is substantial enough to command presence on the finger, yet refined in tone and remarkably clear for its weight, making it a superior choice for buyers seeking a naturally colored sapphire without artificial treatment. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize genuine, well-cut stones, and this sapphire’s combination of mixed brilliant cutting, untreated faint yellow color, very slightly included clarity at eye level, and excellent polish offers a unique alternative to more common, treated or heavily included yellow sapphires. It is ideal for someone who values subtlety and provenance, and who wants a stone with character and integrity rather than a louder, synthetic-looking color. For bespoke jewelry, engagement rings or a distinguished accent gem, this Ceylon yellow sapphire delivers rarity and wearable beauty that many other market options cannot match.
