1.80 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

This gem is a rare, untreated Burmese treasure, a transparent 1.80 carat oval shape greenish yellow sapphire, with exact dimensions of 9.31 x 6.31 x 3.44 mm, a mixed brilliant cut that yields lively facet return, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, faint color intensity that reads as an elegant whisper of green and yellow, and an excellent polish, with no enhancement. The origin of this sapphire is Burma, Myanmar, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with distinctive character, and the lack of any heat or other treatment increases its desirability among collectors and connoisseurs who value natural rarity. Because this stone is transparent and finely faceted, its mixed brilliant cut balances table and pavilion facets to maximize sparkle while preserving the gem's natural color, and the oval outline offers a flattering, elongating profile that sits beautifully in the center of a composition. Slight inclusions at eye level are a reminder of natures hand and do not detract from the gem's overall charm, rather they authenticate its origin and natural formation, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet plays its part in the gem's radiance.

As a design director at The Natural Sapphire Company, I envision this sapphire as the centerpiece of many bespoke jewelry interpretations, each created for an exclusive individual who appreciates singular stones. For a contemporary engagement ring, a delicate halo of fine white diamonds will amplify perceived size and add contrast that makes the faint greenish yellow color sing, while a three stone design with tapered baguettes or trillion side stones will impart a sophisticated classic silhouette. For a warmer, more intimate aesthetic, setting the stone in 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold will enhance the yellow notes, bringing depth to the faint color intensity without altering the gem, and a low bezel setting will offer both a modern look and durable protection for everyday wear. For earrings, matched partners can be created from single cut companions, or the stone can headline a drop earring accented by small colored sapphires or old mine cut diamonds for a vintage mood. As a pendant, this oval sapphire will float elegantly on a fine chain, and an east west setting will give a fashion forward twist. For men who appreciate a touch of color, the sapphire can be mounted in a cufflink or signet style, framed by polished metal and micro pavé to create an heirloom piece. Because the stone carries natural inclusions and a subtle color, design strategies that use surrounding diamonds, dark metal backings, or warm gold tones will either increase contrast or intensify warmth, while open gallery work will allow light to travel through the pavilion and preserve the gem's transparent character.

Commissioning a piece from The Natural Sapphire Company means you join a select group who own gems of provenance and personality, and we will work with you step by meticulous step to translate this greenish yellow oval sapphire into a bespoke creation that complements your style and lifestyle. We can advise on prong count and placement to best protect the 9.31 x 6.31 mm table, on mounting height to balance brilliance with practicality, and on artisan finishing techniques that will honor the excellent polish while securing the stone for generations of wear. Because this sapphire is untreated and originates in Burma, we recommend settings and metal choices that celebrate its natural tone rather than attempting to mask it, and our design team can provide photorealistic sketches and hand rendered concepts so you can see the piece before the first tool touches the metal. Availability of untreated Burmese sapphires in this size and condition is limited, and we encourage a private consultation to discuss options, confirm the gem for your commission, and arrange secure viewing. If you wish to own a rare, naturally formed oval sapphire with a story and the potential to become a defining heirloom, contact The Natural Sapphire Company and let us create a unique setting that makes this singular gem undeniably yours.
