1.87 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.87 carat oval yellow sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, embodies the rare combination of vivid color, exceptional clarity, and precise cutting that custom jewelers and discerning clients seek. The stone measures 7.82 x 6.81 x 4.43 mm, a versatile size that reads substantial in a face up view while remaining perfectly wearable in rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces. Its mixed brilliant cut is engineered to maximize scintillation and depth, producing bright flashes of light across the table and facets, while the clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means it appears transparent and clean to the naked eye. The color intensity is classified as intense, delivering a saturated warm yellow that remains pure and lively, rather than brownish or washed out. The polish is excellent, giving smooth, reflective facet surfaces that enhance brilliance and tactile quality. This sapphire has been heat treated, an industry standard enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color in a permanent and accepted way. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka places this gem among a lineage of sought after sapphires known for clarity and vibrant tone, traits that consistently outshine many mass market alternatives.

When compared to other yellow gemstones and typical commercial sapphires, this stone stands out on multiple fronts. Many yellow stones on the market, including yellow beryl and citrine, can display attractive color but lack the hardness and long term durability necessary for daily wear. Topaz offers color, but it is softer and more prone to damage than sapphire. Within the sapphire category, stones offered at lower price points frequently show cloudiness, heavy inclusion patterns, or muted color that reads brown or green under certain lights. This Ceylon sapphire, by contrast, combines true transparency with intense color and very very slight inclusions, a trifecta that yields superior visual impact and longevity. The mixed brilliant cut further elevates its performance relative to step cuts or poorly proportioned cuts that fail to return light effectively. The stone’s proportions result in an approximate depth of 4.43 mm relative to its length and width that creates balance between saturation and brilliance, roughly sixty point five percent in depth, a figure that supports both strong color and lively sparkle. In short, you receive the visual presence customers expect from a premium sapphire, with performance and durability that fewer stones in the market can match.

For designers and clients planning custom jewelry, the dimensions and oval shape of this sapphire make it exceptionally adaptable and flattering. An oval of this size sits beautifully as a solitaire engagement ring center, where its elongated profile visually lengthens the finger, creating a slimming and elegant effect. It also fits seamlessly into halo settings where surrounding diamonds amplify the yellow hue and add scintillation, or into three stone and offset designs where side stones can be chosen to either contrast or harmonize. The mixed brilliant cut ensures the gem reads lively in a variety of lighting conditions, which matters when choosing a ring that will be worn every day. The modest weight of one point eight seven carats gives designers freedom to create balanced proportions without resorting to overly large settings, while the depth and table give enough volume to engage viewers without appearing flat. The stone works well in prong settings that maximize light entry, in bezel settings that offer a modern secure look, and in mixed metal schemes where rose gold accentuates the warm yellow, yellow gold deepens the tone, and white gold or platinum offers a contemporary contrast that makes the color pop. The sapphire’s hardness of nine on the Mohs scale means it resists scratching and abrasion far better than many alternatives, a key selling point for clients who want beauty without sacrificing everyday resilience.

Choosing this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company delivers both aesthetic and practical advantages, and it represents superior value when compared to many other market options. The combination of intense color, very very slight inclusions, excellent polish, and a mixed brilliant cut is rare at this size, which means you are investing in a gem that will hold visual appeal and scale well into the future. Heat treatment is disclosed and can be described as an industry standard process that enhances color stability in a way that remains acceptable to gemological authorities and savvy buyers. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka is an additional mark of distinction, as sapphires from this region are prized for their combination of clarity and vivid hue, qualities that are evident in this stone when examined face up and in hand. For custom work, this sapphire provides a straightforward canvas for creativity, whether the brief calls for something classically restrained or boldly modern.
