1.96 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Owning a rare gemstone is more than an adornment, it is an invitation to an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs, and this 1.96 carat oval yellow sapphire is precisely that kind of opportunity. Transparent and luminous, with dimensions of 7.80 x 6.48 x 4.81 mm, this stone captures light with a captivating presence, due to its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish. Its vivid color intensity is the hallmark of exceptional Ceylon Sri Lanka origin, a provenance prized by collectors and gem professionals alike. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, it presents the kind of visual purity and character that serious buyers seek. The sapphire has been responsibly heat treated, a standard and widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies its natural beauty, while preserving its investment worth. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem not merely as a jewel, but as a carefully curated asset for an informed audience who values rarity, provenance, and craftsmanship.

When assessing future appreciation in value, several enduring factors work in favor of this Ceylon yellow sapphire. Origin matters over time, and sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka have a historic premium because of their consistent quality and storied mines. The vivid hue of this gem is uncommon for stones of this size and clarity, which narrows its comparables in the market and strengthens its scarcity profile. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return and market desirability, making it attractive both to jewelry designers and to collectors who prioritize brilliance and symmetry. Additionally, sapphires are part of a small group of gemstones that have long acted as portable stores of wealth. In markets where supply from traditional sources is constrained and global demand continues to grow among high net worth collectors, select natural sapphires, especially those with well documented origin and excellent gemological attributes, tend to see steady long term appreciation.

Investment minded buyers should consider not only the intrinsic qualities of the stone, but also the practical considerations that contribute to future value. This sapphire combines desirable size, transparency, vivid color, and fine polish in a classic oval silhouette that is versatile for bespoke settings. Its clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level means that the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining a natural identity, a balance that collectors prize when seeking pieces that will both wear beautifully and hold value. Heat treatment is disclosed and standard, and it does not detract from market acceptance. Provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka further enhances potential liquidity, as reputable auction houses and private buyers show clear preference for stones with traceable origin and professional evaluation. Because this is a single, specific gemstone, its uniqueness adds to its investment narrative, distinguishing it from mass market alternatives.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that acquiring a gemstone is a decision that blends emotion, aesthetics, and financial foresight. We source gems with rigorous attention to origin, clarity, color, and craftsmanship, and this 1.96 carat yellow sapphire exemplifies that commitment. For those who commission bespoke jewelry, this stone becomes a signature piece that carries both personal significance and the expectation of enduring value. We can assist with certification, secure documentation, and bespoke design services that ensure the sapphire is set in a way that enhances its light performance and preserves its integrity. Limited availability of stones of this caliber means that opportunities like this are rare and often transient, making timely decisions a prudent approach for collectors who aim to own select pieces rather than follow trends.
