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

There are gems that seem to carry a sunrise within them, and this cushion shape orangish yellow sapphire sings exactly that melody. Weighing 1.74 carat, this transparent stone glows with a vivid color intensity that catches the eye and tugs at the heart. Imagine a quiet garden at dawn, a single warm ray threading through leaves, and there you will find the same honeyed brilliance reflected in each facet. From the moment it rests in the light, the gem dreams in golden whispers and gentle fire, a small sun that is at once joyous and tender. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire not merely as a jewel, but as a keepsake of light and longing, an intimate companion for moments both sacred and spontaneous.

Measured with care at 6.60 by 6.59 by 4.13 millimeters, the stone carries the comforting symmetry of a well told story. Its mixed brilliant cut gives a modern pulse to the timeless cushion silhouette, scattering scintillation like laughter across the surface. The clarity is graded slightly included when viewed at eye level, a delicate map of the stone that reminds us of the earth from which it came. Polished to an excellent finish, each surface has been coaxed to a perfect sheen, allowing the internal glow to breathe freely. Born of the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and thoughtfully treated through beryllium diffusion to elevate its warm orangish yellow heart, this sapphire bears both provenance and promise. The treatment is disclosed openly, a covenant of transparency that honors the gem and the wearer.

There is a graceful versatility tucked into this stone, a quality that allows it to move fluidly between the humble and the grand. Picture it set in a slender gold band, slipping into everyday life like a secret confidence, catching coffee shop light and office lamps with equal charm. Now imagine the same gem embraced by a halo of diamonds, floating near the throat of a silk gown, its golden glow anchoring an evening with the certainty of candlelight. The sapphire welcomes both denim and velvet, simple silver and ornate filigree, its warm tones harmonizing with skin and metal alike. For those who cherish variety, it is a companion that adapts, a jewel that reads the room and responds with a soft, luminous smile.

To wear this sapphire is to carry a small story of Ceylon in your pocket and your pulse. It invites personalization, whether in a bespoke engagement ring, a pendant close to the heart, or earrings that dance with the turn of the head. Our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company stand ready to design settings that honor its size and spirit, balancing the mixed brilliant cut and cushion shape for maximum brilliance and lasting beauty.
