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

In a land where emerald green peaks kiss the azure sky and time seems to slow its restless march, the journey of a remarkable sapphire begins. Deep within the fertile grounds of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, ancient forces of nature forged a treasure that would one day illuminate the heart of bespoke jewelry. Our featured gem, a transparent 1.68-carat cushion-shaped sapphire, draws its dazzling hues from these fabled lands. There, amid rolling hills and tranquil rivers, the legend of this orangish yellow sapphire was born, its spirit imbued with the vibrant energy of the sunlit tropics.

Long before it found its way to discerning collectors and artisans, this gemstone slept beneath layers of earthy cradle. Nestled in the embrace of the island’s mineral-rich soil, its striking palette matured over countless ages. When miners, driven by tradition and expertise passed down through generations, extracted this gem from its resting place, they unveiled a natural marvel that captivates with every facet. Deft hands and keen eyes then set upon their careful labor, transforming the rough stone into a masterpiece of elegance, ensuring its refined form and radiant personality. The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride in preserving the beauty of these stones, enhancing their innate qualities without overshadowing their intrinsic charm.

The sapphire’s story continues as it embarks on its next chapter—from the skilled hands of master cutters who expertly executed a mixed brilliant cut, to the appraisers who recognized its impeccable attributes. Measuring 6.89 x 6.89 x 4.18 mm, this jewel has been groomed with precision, showcasing clarity that is only very slightly included when seen at eye level. Its vivid color intensity speaks of sunsets that gild the horizon, a playful dance of orange and yellow that promises to stand out in any jewelry setting. These qualities, paired with an excellent polish, assure not only a jewel of beauty but a gem of unmatched distinction.

Each moment in the journey of this orangish yellow sapphire is captured in its brilliant depths, a testament to the artistry and commitment behind its transformation. As it finds its place within a ring, pendant, or another cherished form of adornment, it invites the wearer to carry forth the legacies it holds. It promises to wrap its glow around those who appreciate rarity and elegance, invoking a sense of connection to the paradox of movement and stillness found within its nature. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we endeavor to keep these stories alive, offering gems that do not merely accentuate beauty but become a part of your own story, rich with the allure of a timeless artifact.
