1.70 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.70 carat fancy shape yellow sapphire measures 5.69 x 8.12 x 4.48 millimeters, and displays the controlled proportions expected from a precision mixed brilliant cut, with a faceted crown employing small star and kite facets above a well proportioned table, and a pavilion combining radiant brilliant facets with carefully aligned lower facets to optimize return of light. The stone exhibits a faint yellow color intensity, which is consistent with high transmittance in the visible spectrum, and the clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with inclusions confined to minor pinpoint and feather characteristics that do not interfere with overall transparency. The gem is untreated, no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance noted for producing sapphires with delicate pastel hues and strong crystalline clarity. The girdle shows even thickness and the cutting symmetry is precise, producing a well centered table and an apex alignment that contributes to balanced light distribution across the face up presentation, while the excellent polish yields uninterrupted facet junctions and microfacet precision that minimize surface scattering.

The combined effect of exacting facet geometry and meticulous finishing results in a stone whose apparent purity is reinforced by its flawless finish, enhancing its beauty from every angle through consistent brilliance and measured scintillation. Under direct light the mixed brilliant schema directs pinpoint flashes across the crown and pavilion interfaces, producing a lively scintillation pattern, and under diffuse illumination the faint yellow tone is evenly exhibited without zoning, benefiting from Ceylon origin crystalline homogeneity. Because the very slightly included clarity is not evident to the unaided eye, the viewer experiences an impression of visual cleanliness that complements the excellent polish and tight facet alignment. For mounting, a north south orientation in a three prong or partial bezel setting will showcase the pearlike outline and allow maximum light entry through the crown, while a halo of small melee stones will amplify perceived size and enhance contrast without masking the stone s subtle hue. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a technically refined specimen, suitable for clients seeking a natural, untreated Ceylon gem with precise cutting, consistent optical performance, and an immaculate surface finish that elevates its presence in both everyday wear and bespoke high end settings.
