1.81 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This sapphire is a transparent, one point eight one carat round gem sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone displays a yellowish orange hue with vivid color intensity, and it is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation and color distribution. The dimensions are seven point two seven by seven point two six by four point zero one millimeters, a profile that is visually commanding without becoming cumbersome for wearable design. The gem has been heat treated to enhance tone and clarity, a standard and stable treatment in sapphire trade, and it has been finished with an excellent polish that contributes to its overall brilliance and face up beauty. The combination of weight, diameter, and clean appearance makes this sapphire a straightforward candidate for a central, eye catching element in a crafted piece.

The size of this sapphire in combination with its clarity grade, evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, underscores its suitability as a statement piece. At one point eight one carats and with a diameter of just over seven millimeters, the stone reads as substantial on many ring sizes, pendants, and cocktail styles, providing a strong presence while remaining elegant and wearable. The very very slightly included clarity grade indicates inclusions that are minimal and not distracting to the naked eye, allowing light to pass through the pavilion and crown facets with minimal obstruction. This clarity, paired with the mixed brilliant cut, results in a balance of sparkle and color intensity, permitting both flashes of brilliance and even color saturation across the table and pavilion facets, which are essential attributes for a singular focal gem intended to draw attention.

Color and cut combine to define the personality of this sapphire, and its vivid yellowish orange tone is both warm and versatile in design. The vivid intensity ensures saturation that reads consistently in natural and artificial light, producing a lively, golden orange appearance that complements both yellow and white metals, and that pairs well with accent diamonds or colored side stones for contrast or tone modulation. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to respect both face up color and internal light return, making the gem suitable for prong mounted solitaires, bezel settings that emphasize color, or halo designs where the central stone serves as the dominant visual element. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance the stone, and because this is a classic, stable treatment for sapphires, the resulting appearance is predictable and long lasting under normal wearing conditions. The gem material is corundum, a durable mineral with a high hardness that supports daily wear when set with appropriate craftsmanship.

Selecting a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means access to measured dimensions, documented origin, and careful assessment of cut polish and clarity. This stone has an excellent polish that refines the facet junctions and maximizes surface luster, and its proportions yield an appealing table to depth relationship for a round mixed brilliant format. For customers seeking a memorable center stone, the combination of one point eight one carats, a clean eye level appearance described as very very slightly included, vivid color intensity, and the detailed dimensions provided make this gem a compelling option for a bold solitaire or a refined contemporary statement piece. The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on mounting options that preserve weight while showcasing the gem, and recommended care includes routine gentle cleaning with mild detergent and a soft brush for settings, and professional inspection for security of the mounting.
