1.71 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous expression of refined taste, this beautiful transparent 1.71 carat oval shape yellow sapphire is an objet d art destined to elevate any collection. Measuring 7.97 by 6.24 by 4.60 millimeters, its elegant proportions balance presence with wearable grace, allowing the gem to command attention without overwhelming the hand. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires of exceptional character, this stone carries with it a legacy of natural beauty and geological distinction. Its faint color intensity offers a delicate, sunlit note of yellow, a hue that bespeaks sophistication rather than gaudiness, and the eye clean clarity, evaluated at eye level, ensures that the field of view remains uninterrupted by inclusions, so the gaze may linger on play of light and subtle tonal nuances. No enhancement has been applied to this sapphire, a rare and desirable attribute in a market where treatments are common, confirming the gemstone in its pure, natural state, and the excellent polish furnishes a silky finish that allows each facet to respond with crisp, lively radiance.

The mixed brilliant cut of this oval sapphire is the secret behind its mesmerizing performance, a thoughtful fusion of brilliant facet architecture with precision facet planning that marries scintillation and depth. On the crown, faceting has been sculpted to maximize return of white light, the classic brilliance that enlivens the face of the stone, while the pavilion presents a disciplined geometry that channels light inward and then back to the viewer in a choreography of flashes and bright pulses. Because the pavilion facets are aligned to reflect light through the broad oval table, every photon that enters is coaxed into a deliberate path, creating well defined patterns of brilliance and contrast that appear as lively stars and ribbons within the stone. The mixed brilliant approach also enhances the sapphire s natural faint yellow color, by distributing and refracting light in ways that emphasize warmth without muddying tone, allowing the yellow to glow from within rather than sit only on the surface. The excellent polish means facet junctions are clean and precise, so light is not scattered but instead redirected in crisp beams, and this precision amplifies both scintillation, the energetic sparkle with movement, and facet contrast, the sculpted light and shade that give the gem a three dimensional presence on the hand. In practical terms, the oval outline elongates the finger, while the balanced depth of 4.60 millimeters ensures that the gem catches light from every angle, rewarding its wearer with lively performance in daylight, incandescent light, and the softer glow of evening.
