2.04 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.04 carat marquise shape orangish yellow sapphire offers a balanced combination of color, clarity, and cut that will appeal to an educated buyer. The stone measures 12.15 by 5.47 by 4.07 millimeters, and its faceted, mixed brilliant cutting style is designed to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the gem, and the excellent polish ensures superior light return across the marquise outline. The medium color intensity produces a warm orangish yellow presence that is both lively and versatile, tracing its tone to trace elements that occur naturally in corundum. This sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines hue and clarity while preserving the natural origin and overall integrity of the gem. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is documented, and this provenance contributes to the stone's appeal because Ceylon sapphires are historically prized for their lively, well defined colors and consistent crystalline quality.

The journey from mine to market reflects careful stewardship at each stage, and this gem is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company with full attention to provenance and craftsmanship. The rough was sourced in the gem fields of Ceylon where artisanal and small scale operations extract high quality corundum, then passed to experienced sorters who select material worthy of fine cutting. Master cutters then fashioned the marquise with a mixed brilliant pavilion and step influenced crown facets, a choice that preserves weight while maximizing brilliance and color face up. Controlled heat treatment was applied to enhance chroma and clarity under laboratory conditions that are industry standard. After cutting and polishing, the stone underwent gemological inspection for cut, clarity, color intensity, and origin verification, and it was finished with an excellent polish that highlights the stone dimensions and profile. For a buyer who values documented origin, minimal enhancement, superior cutting, and a rare orangish yellow hue in a marquise shape, this sapphire represents a collectible and wearable gem backed by transparent sourcing from mine to market.
