1.68 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled deep within the lush, verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies the origin of a remarkable gemstone. The heart-shaped yellow sapphire began its journey over millions of years ago, hidden beneath the ancient rocks of this enchanting island. Bathed in the golden glow of natural sunlight, Ceylon is famed for its unique sapphires, renowned for their clarity and luster. Miners with generations of expertise delicately unearthed this sapphire, aware of the treasure they might uncover. Each discovery here in the gem-rich soils of Sri Lanka is a testament to nature's endless artistry, and this particular gemstone was birthed from such an earthly marvel.

Once extracted, our 1.68 carat heart-shaped yellow sapphire began its voyage toward transformation. The gem was still in its raw, untouched form, exhibiting a promise of beauty yet unseen. Skilled hands, trained in the art of gem cutting and polishing, took charge of this precious stone. The craftspeople appreciated its transparent brilliance and eye-clean elegance, working tirelessly to reveal the gemstone's essence. Through careful and precise cutting, they performed a mixed brilliant cut that enhanced its very light color intensity without altering its natural purity. The result was a magnificent crystal, shining with a serene yellow hue and lustrous reflection.

The journey continued in our workshops at The Natural Sapphire Company, where excellence is a tradition and precision an art. Here, the gemstone was tirelessly polished to absolute perfection, each facet reflecting the deep care put into its creation. The heart shape of the sapphire, measuring 6.76 x 7.24 x 4.81 mm, was crafted to symbolize warmth and affection, a perfect representation for anyone seeking to display such sentiments. Notably, the gemstone underwent no enhancements, maintaining its authentic integrity; every color and light within it remaining entirely natural and unaltered.

Each yellow sapphire tells a story of cultural significance, reflective of Sri Lanka’s rich history with gemstones, wherein ancient kings donned themselves in such regality. In this gem, one can sense the legendary romance and myth that wrap around these gemstones' historical role as protectors and talismans of healing. Such cultural heritage adds depth to its beauty, making each sapphire not only a piece of jewelry but also a fragment of shared human history. Our master jewelers at The Natural Sapphire Company resonated with this history, crafting the stone into an embodiment of the age-old allure for a modern embrace.

In its final crafted form, this heart-shaped sapphire now stands ready to join the life story of its beholder. It embodies a journey from the depths of the earth to the height of sophistication and elegance, epitomizing timeless beauty. A product born from the confluence of nature and artistry, this gemstone remains not only a celebration of the treasures of Sri Lanka but also a testament to the craftsmanship and legacy of The Natural Sapphire Company.
