1.60 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This yellow sapphire began its journey deep within the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon, where Sri Lankan streams and monsoon seasons have polished rough corundum for millennia, lending this stone a provenance steeped in history and lore. Unearthed with care and sorted by eye for its clarity and tone, this transparent 1.60 carat round sapphire measures 6.54 by 6.54 by 4.55 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize both scintillation and the warm, sunlit face up color. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, with an excellent polish and a medium intense color intensity, the gem is untouched by heat or any other enhancement, a rare and honest offering from Ceylon. At The Natural Sapphire Company our cutters respected the natural geometry of the rough, working to reveal a balanced pavilion and crown that throw lively flashes of light while preserving the gem's pure yellow character.

When set in jewelry this yellow sapphire becomes a storyteller on the skin, flattering a wide spectrum of complexions by interacting with natural undertones. On fair skin it provides a luminous, golden focal point that warms and enlivens, creating an inviting contrast that reads as both fresh and classic. On medium and olive skin tones the stone harmonizes with golden undertones, appearing rich and radiant without overwhelming, its medium intense color offering a tasteful depth that complements everyday wear and evening elegance. On deeper skin tones the sapphire reads with striking vibrancy, its yellow tone brightening and popping against richer backgrounds, offering a sense of sunny optimism and bold refinement. Metal choices further tailor the effect, yellow gold amplifies warmth and continuity, rose gold adds a softly romantic glow, and white gold or platinum frames the gem with a contemporary clarity that emphasizes its transparency and fire. Whether mounted as a solitaire engagement stone, a refined bezel for everyday wear, or the centerpiece of a custom halo, this Ceylon yellow sapphire connects natural history with personal expression, and carries the guarantee of provenance and craftsmanship from The Natural Sapphire Company.
