1.60 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.60 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka carries with it a lineage that dates back to the ancient gem traders and royal treasuries of the island, a stone whose warm, sunlit hue evokes centuries of admiration and reverence. Measuring 6.53 x 6.46 x 4.52 mm, this transparent gem sits at the intersection of classic form and modern precision, its mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize scintillation while honoring the timeless cushion silhouette. The intense color intensity is immediately arresting, a true golden yellow that reads luxurious and confident, and the excellent polish allows each facet to sing with light. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very very slightly included, a testament to the natural integrity of the material and one that hardly detracts from the gem's overall purity or its ability to command attention when set as a focal jewel.

What sets this stone apart for collectors and connoisseurs is the interplay between its historical provenance and the contemporary craftsmanship it displays, a combination that makes it ideal as a centerpiece in an heirloom ring or a cherished pendant. The mixed brilliant cut produces exceptional brilliance and a lively faceting pattern that throws flashes of light across the table and through the crown, ensuring the sapphire performs beautifully under both candlelight and daylight. The sapphire has undergone beryllium diffused enhancement, a treatment that intensifies hue while remaining stable in ordinary wear, and which we disclose openly to preserve the trust and transparency that define our practice at The Natural Sapphire Company. Paired with thoughtful mounting choices, from a softly vintage bezel to a refined platinum solitaire or a delicate halo of pavé diamonds, this Ceylon yellow sapphire will anchor any design with warmth and enduring grace. If you appreciate gemstones that carry a narrative as rich as their color, this cushion sapphire is a rare opportunity to own a gem that marries island heritage, precise cutting, and enduring brilliance, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company would be pleased to assist with certification, bespoke settings, and any further details to help this gem become a treasured part of your collection.
