1.70 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.70 carat pear shape yellow sapphire with dimensions of 9.33 by 5.95 by 3.95 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, presents a rare combination of clean appearance and lively color that will stand out in any jewelry setting. The medium color intensity offers a pure, sunny yellow that is vivid without becoming overly saturated, which allows the stone to exhibit a lively range of yellow tones as it moves under light. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly proportioned to maximize light return through the pavilion and crown, producing scintillation and crisp facet patterning that elevate the stone's visual impact. An excellent polish enhances facet definition and means the surface is smooth and reflective, so this sapphire will flash bright, warm hues when set into rings, pendants, or earrings. Importantly, this stone is untreated, with no enhancement, and it originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that is respected for producing sapphires with clear, vibrant colors and excellent crystalline quality.

For the informed buyer, the value of this Ceylon yellow sapphire is rooted in its combination of natural color, eye level clarity, and lack of treatment, each of which commands a premium in the market. The very very slightly included clarity grade indicates inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gem’s brilliance, which is an important factor for overall appearance and longevity. The pear shape provides versatility, flattering settings that elongate the finger or create elegant drops for pendants, and it pairs beautifully with yellow gold to intensify the warm tones, or with white metals to create striking contrast. Sapphires are durable with a rating of nine on the Mohs scale, making this gem an excellent choice for daily wear with proper care. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparency about origin and treatment because these details matter to collectors and connoisseurs, and this Ceylon sapphire exemplifies the qualities discerning buyers seek. Simple care recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to strong chemicals and sudden temperature extremes, and periodic professional cleaning to maintain maximum brilliance and beauty.
