1.78 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous expression of nature and masterful cutting, this transparent yellow sapphire weighs 1.78 carats, and measures 6.97 by 5.50 by 5.16 millimeters, and is fashioned into a classic oval silhouette, and finished with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with depth, and presents an intense color intensity and an excellent polish. Its clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that speaks to natural origin and authentic provenance, and this gem has received no enhancement, preserving its original character and the gentle warmth of its Ceylon, Sri Lanka, origin. From The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire carries the assurance of ethical sourcing and expert grading, and arrives ready to become the centerpiece of a bespoke creation. The precise dimensions and oval form offer a rare combination of presence and versatility, qualities that jewelers and connoisseurs prize when planning a custom commission.

The oval shape of this sapphire makes it especially desirable for custom jewelry, because the elongated outline flatters the hand and adapts beautifully to a variety of settings, and with its 6.97 by 5.50 millimeter surface area it reads as substantial without feeling oversized. In a solitaire ring the stone projects refined confidence, offering a bright table and a graceful crown that draws the eye along the axis of the finger. Set horizontally in a pendant it becomes a quietly elegant focal point that catches light with every movement. Paired for drop earrings, the oval profile translates into graceful motion and pleasing symmetry. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes internal fire while maintaining a controlled dispersion of color, and this balance allows designers to play with metal, halo, and mounting styles. Whether mounted in a low bezel for daily wear, cradled in four or six classic prongs to emphasize light entry, or encircled by a halo of contrasting stones to intensify its sunny hue, the sapphire’s size and shape provide a straightforward blueprint for imaginative, enduring design.

Beyond shape and size, the gem’s intense yellow tones and transparent clarity create an aura of refined luminosity that elevates any custom piece into an heirloom. The warm, golden-yellow color reads with a sophisticated restraint rather than loud saturation, lending itself to both contemporary minimalism and intricate vintage inspired designs. Because this sapphire has not been enhanced, its color is the genuine expression of its Ceylon origin, and it carries the subtle, clean brightness that collectors associate with Sri Lankan sapphires. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to enhance the yellow hue while ensuring lively sparkle, and the excellent polish reflects light with a crispness that makes prismatic facets sing. Small, very slightly included features visible only upon careful inspection attest to the stone’s natural story, and they enrich its character rather than diminish its appeal. For clients seeking a jewel that announces confidence and cultivated taste, this stone promises presence, and the oval shape translates that promise into wearable elegance across a lifetime of occasions.
