1.86 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and luminous example of Ceylon craftsmanship awaits in this transparent yellow sapphire, a gem that reads like an invitation to an intimate circle of collectors and connoisseurs, it is a 1.86 carat round shaped sapphire, with precise proportions of 7.16 by 7.20 by 5.10 mm, masterfully faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation. Evaluated as slightly included at eye level, and displaying a delicate light color intensity, this stone offers a subtle and refined personality, rather than a shout, its excellent polish ensures each facet sings with light. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and gently enhanced by stable heat treatment, this sapphire represents the kind of find that The Natural Sapphire Company reserves for clients who prize rarity, provenance, and the freedom to transform a single precious stone into a signature treasure.

Observe how the mixed brilliant cut and the quality of the polish work together to produce a lively and complex play of light, the pavilion and crown deliver both depth and surface brilliance, creating flashes that range from pale lemon to warm champagne under different lights. Because the stone is transparent with slight inclusions, it balances clarity and character, those tiny natural fingerprints that tell the story of deep earth formation, they are not flaws to hide, but evidence of authenticity and origin, and they contribute to the unique personality of this sapphire. The light color intensity makes the gem an elegant choice for those who prefer understated luxury, a tone that pairs beautifully with warm alloys, as well as cooler metals that allow the yellow to glow like a sliver of sunrise.

This sapphire has been cut and sized in a way that invites imagination, it adapts with grace to a wide range of bespoke settings, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we specialize in turning such possibilities into heirloom pieces. Consider it as the center of a classic solitaire ring, where the clean round silhouette and mixed brilliant cut will deliver maximum sparkle, or imagine it cradled in a delicate bezel setting for a modern and secure approach that emphasizes contour and clean lines. For a more dramatic effect, a halo setting can magnify presence, surrounding the warm center with a ring of white or fancy color melee stones to heighten contrast and perceived size, alternatively, a three stone design can pair this yellow sapphire with white diamonds or pastel sapphires to create a narrative of balance and harmony. For an unexpected statement, orient the gem east west in a contemporary mounting for rings or pendants, or place it within a low profile cathedral for everyday elegance. Beyond rings, this stone invites translation into elegant drop earrings, a solitaire pendant that rests close to the heart, a bespoke bracelet link, or even a personalized lapel stud or cufflink set that signals refined taste in subtle ways.

Metal choice and surrounding accents will further define the character you wish to achieve, warm 18 karat yellow gold will amplify the honeyed notes of the stone, rose gold will soften and romanticize the hue, while platinum and 18 karat white gold will create crisp contrast that makes the yellow read as a clear and luminous focal point. For clients seeking vintage allure, an intricate milgrain or filigree mounting can add a storybook quality that complements the sapphire's slight inclusions and gentle color. For those who favor contemporary minimalism, a low bezel or sleek tension style will speak of restrained confidence, each option is a bespoke decision, and The Natural Sapphire Company offers dedicated design consultations to realize your vision, guiding you from concept sketches through to final production, and helping you choose proportions and accents that respect the gem size of 1.86 carat and the dimensions of 7.16 by 7.20 by 5.10 mm.
