1.97 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The storied allure of gemstones lies not merely in their physical beauty but in the rich history and timeless traditions they carry. Such is the case with our exquisite 1.97-carat greenish yellow sapphire. Carefully extracted from the ancient mines of Ceylon, now modern-day Sri Lanka, this gemstone embodies a legacy that dates back thousands of years. The island nation has long been celebrated for producing some of the most prized sapphires in the world, and this particular treasure continues that historic tradition. It calls to those who appreciate the heritage and enduring appeal of a stone that has dazzled civilizations throughout the ages.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on offering pieces that do more than merely sparkle—they tell a story. This cushion-shaped sapphire, with its impressive dimensions of 8.72 x 7.03 x 3.47 mm, is the perfect encapsulation of that ethos. Its mixed brilliant cut enhances the stone's intrinsic radiance, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light that draws observers into its depths. Displaying an intense color intensity, the greenish yellow hue is as vivid as it is luminescent, reminiscent of the rarest and most storied gems passed down through royal treasuries and elite collections.

The sapphire's slightly included clarity grade, evaluated meticulously at eye level, subtly speaks to its natural origins, a testament to its authenticity and earth-bound creation. In the world of gemstones, these minor imperfections are not seen as flaws, but rather as birthmarks that underscore the individuality of each stone. Just as ancient lapidaries mastered the art of cutting stones to reveal their most brilliant facets, our artisans have harnessed modern precision techniques to ensure an excellent polish. The mirror-like finish magnifies the sapphire’s innate brilliance, making it a centerpiece in any discerning collector’s ensemble.

This sapphire’s timeless design serves as both a bridge to the past and a beacon for future generations. In a landscape of fleeting trends, its classic cushion shape offers a permanence that is as relevant today as it was in the luxurious courts of antiquity where sapphires were revered as symbols of wisdom and divine favor. As the gemstone graces your collection, it transcends the realm of jewelry to become an heirloom recognized for its narrative of geologic and artistic ingenuity.

For those who seek a meaningful addition to their collection, our Ceylon-origin sapphire represents not just an object of beauty but also a narrative interwoven with legends and eras long past. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand that gems like this are more than purchases—they are investments in tradition and pieces of history that ignite the imagination and stand the test of time. Whether as a gift to oneself or passed down as a legacy, this sapphire reflects the passage of time while holding steadfast against it, much like the ideals of beauty and craftsmanship we hold dear.
