2.00 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent yellow sapphire weighs 2.00 carats, with an elegant oval outline measuring 8.27 x 7.03 x 4.51 mm, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The stone is executed in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant facet pattern on the crown with a more restrained facet plan on the pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color stability. The cutter has maintained even symmetry across the facet junctions, producing balanced light return and precise facet alignment, and the overall depth equals 54.5 percent of the length which falls within the range that supports a lively face up appearance while allowing a comfortable profile in a variety of settings. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minute internal features that do not impede light performance, and the stone is presented with excellent polish and a well defined girdle, ensuring smooth bezel seats and secure prong engagement. Importantly this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, preserving the natural crystal characteristics that are prized by collectors and designers, and The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with full provenance and imaging for close examination.

Color is described as light in intensity, rendering a bright, crystalline yellow that reads as fresh and luminous in daylight conditions and shows subtle warmth under incandescent light. The Ceylon origin contributes to a particular clarity of hue, characterized by a clean primary yellow without dominant brown or green modifiers, and the mixed brilliant cutting philosophy enhances even color distribution by breaking and redirecting light across both the crown and pavilion facets. Under viewing conditions the pavilion facets create a network of small flashes and scintillation that animate the body color rather than conceal it, which is a desirable outcome for light intensity stones where facet architecture can accentuate color saturation. The absence of treatment means the color and body tone are natural attributes of the crystal lattice, and for clients seeking authenticity this stone represents a documented example of a fine unenhanced Ceylon yellow sapphire, suitable for pieces where gemstone integrity and traceable origin are part of the design brief.

The proportional dimensions and oval geometry make this sapphire particularly well suited to bespoke jewelry design, offering both presence and versatility for rings, pendants, and matched earrings. The 8.27 mm length provides an elongated silhouette that flatters many finger shapes and allows the gem to perform as a focal point in a classic solitaire or as the central element in a halo composition, while the 7.03 mm width balances spread and depth so that the table aperture communicates color without appearing bulky. Depth of 4.51 mm supports secure settings with modest gallery height, enabling low profile bezels and prong work that sit comfortably to the hand, and the mixed brilliant facet scheme will complement both open gallery prong mounts and partially closed bezel designs by maintaining strong light return across the face up. For ring designers a four prong setting emphasizes the oval form and maximizes visible table, whereas a six prong approach increases security for active wear, and a finely tuned bezel can protect the girdle while preserving the clean lines favored in contemporary commissions.

From a production and setting perspective the stone responds predictably to standard lapidary and mountmaking tolerances because of its well controlled symmetry and consistent girdle thickness, making it efficient to design CAD models and prototypes for bespoke settings without requiring extensive rework. The gem’s unheated status and documented Ceylon provenance make it an excellent candidate for projects where certification and natural origin are selling points, and its light but vivid yellow offers compatibility with yellow gold for tonal unity, or with platinum and white gold to create a fresh contrast that emphasizes brilliance and clarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can provide setting recommendations, precise mounting templates, and high resolution images to assist your designer or bench in achieving the intended aesthetic and wearability, and we welcome direct consultation to discuss prong counts, bezel profiles, and setting heights that will best showcase this 2.00 carat oval yellow sapphire in a lifetime piece.
