2.02 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the private language of gems this cushion shape yellow sapphire speaks in a tone that is at once confident and intimate, a quiet proclamation of taste that belongs to those who understand true rarity. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this transparent 2.02 carat stone measures 7.10 by 6.94 by 4.39 millimeters, a size that carries presence without ostentation. Its medium intense yellow suffuses the gem with a warm, sunlit character, while its natural, untreated status assures that every nuance of color and light is honest and original. Owning this sapphire is a distinct statement, one that signals refined discernment and an appreciation for the subtle theater of natural beauty.

The secret of its unmatched sparkle begins with its mixed brilliant cut and the artful geometry of its cushion silhouette. The cushion form soothes the silhouette with softly rounded corners, while the mixed brilliant geometry maximizes both scintillation and depth. On the crown, a constellation of brilliant style facets captures incoming light and dices it into lively pinpoints of brilliance. Below, a carefully calibrated pavilion, cut to a depth that complements the 7.10 by 6.94 table, returns light in broad, luminous flashes that read as vitality rather than mere dazzle. This dialogue between shallow and deep facets creates a play of light that alternates between rapid scintillation and layered flashes of color, a performance impossible for a simply cut stone to emulate. Each facet plane is a mirror, and in this sapphire those mirrors are aligned with exacting precision to orchestrate maximum light return.

Clarity and polish are equal partners in the gemology of radiance, and this yellow sapphire is exemplary in both. Graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, its inclusions are whisper light, invisible to the naked eye and unobtrusive to the passage of light. The result is an unfettered pathway for illumination, so that photons travel through the corundum with minimal interruption, reflecting and refracting until they exit as brilliant flashes and warm reflective glows. The stone has been finished with an excellent polish, which sharpens facet junctions and delivers crisp, high contrast flashes that dance with every movement. Against its medium intense color the polish enhances both the vivacity of the yellow and the purity of white light reflection, so that the gem reads as both luminous and richly saturated. With no enhancements applied, the stone’s surface and interior beauty remain wholly natural, a trait that discerning collectors prize above all.

There is an undeniable prestige that accompanies provenance, and Ceylon has long been celebrated for producing sapphires that possess a luminous clarity and refined palette. This gem encapsulates that tradition, offering a rare alignment of weight, color, cut quality, and untreated origin. Set into a minimalist solitaire, a halo composition, or embraced by the warm glow of yellow or rose gold, it becomes an heirloom of intention, a mark of achievement to be worn with confidence. For those who seek a sapphire that combines scientific precision in its cutting with poetic warmth in its color, this 2.02 carat cushion yellow sapphire is an exceptional choice. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate such moments of gemstone distinction, ensuring that every facet reflects not only light, but also your refined standards and enduring taste.
