14.47 Ct. Yellow Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This yellow sapphire began its journey far from the showroom floor, deep within the storied gem gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where generations of small scale miners gently recover crystals with patience and care. Hand selected for character rather than symmetry, this translucent 14.47 carat stone measures 27.93 by 8.00 by 7.40 millimeters, and carries the honest imprint of the earth in its rough crystal cut. Its medium color intensity warms to a honeyed glow under natural light, and the clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level tells a story of formation that is unique to this specimen. We left the stone free of enhancement, no enhancement, preserving its natural chemistry and original beauty, and our cutters have given it an excellent polish that reveals the inner luster while respecting the rough, organic silhouette. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace the path from mine to market, working with local partners to ensure fair wages and minimal environmental disruption, so this sapphire arrives to you with a provenance you can feel good about.

For a conscious collector this piece offers more than visual appeal, it is an ethical artefact ready to anchor a thoughtful collection. The stone wears beautifully as a sculptural ring or pendant and its elongated various shape allows designers to celebrate the natural form rather than hide it. Consider pairing it with a delicate white opal accent, White Opal, to introduce a soft milky contrast that highlights the yellow warmth and adds a luminous, iridescent whisper. Whether mounted in recycled gold or a responsibly sourced platinum setting, this untreated sapphire makes a statement about values as much as taste. We are happy to assist with bespoke settings that honor the stone and the communities who brought it to light, and we provide clear documentation of origin and treatment history for buyers who demand transparency. Owning this Ceylon sapphire means carrying a fragment of Sri Lanka s geology and human craftsmanship, a mindful acquisition for those who choose beauty that is as honest as it is rare.
