Deep beneath the crust of the earth, millions of years ago, a story of heat, time, and chemistry began that would produce this singular gem. In the ancient terrains of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, tectonic forces folded and uplifted, bringing aluminum rich rocks into intimate contact with fluids that had percolated through the earth for eons. In secluded pockets where corundum could form, trace elements such as iron and chromium found their place within the crystal lattice, subtly altering color and character. For this yellow sapphire, iron in precise concentrations infused the corundum with its sunny hue, while slow cooling and steady pressure allowed transparent clarity to develop. Over geological epochs, the host rock weathered away, revealing pockets of gem quality corundum, and eventually human hands, guided by experience and respect, recovered this stone from the mineral rich soils of Ceylon. Each facet you see is a record of that deep time, each reflective plane a page in a history written by heat and pressure, and each flash of yellow is a memory of the elemental interplay that created it.

This sapphire measures 10.12 by 5.37 by 4.22 mm, and its 1.82 carat weight is balanced beautifully by its marquise shape, offering presence without overpowering delicate settings. It has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, combining the scintillating fire of brilliant facets with the elegant silhouette of a step arrangement where it enhances the stone, creating a lively and balanced brilliance. The clarity is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, meaning this gem appears clear and free of distracting inclusions to an observer without magnification, and that purity allows its intense color intensity to sing. The polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and mirror like reflections that elevate both sparkle and depth. This sapphire has received no enhancement, it is natural as it left the earth, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing some of the world most coveted sapphires. These combined attributes make this piece ideal for a modern engagement ring, a vintage inspired mount, or a high end collector setting that values natural character and unaltered beauty.
