2.06 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At the heart of The Natural Sapphire Company's latest offering is a stunning 2.06 carat yellow sapphire, meticulously crafted in an exquisite emerald cut. This gemstone measures 7.03 mm in length, 6.04 mm in width, and 4.83 mm in depth, establishing its remarkable proportions that enhance both its aesthetic allure and its optical performance. The emerald cut is renowned for its ability to highlight the clarity and depth of a gemstone, and this particular sapphire is no exception. Rated as eye clean, its clarity ensures that there are no visible inclusions to mar its internal and external transparency when evaluated at eye level.

Precision faceting in the classic emerald cut style is characterized by its large flat facets, which run parallel to the girdle and create a hall-of-mirrors effect. This craftsmanship not only emphasizes the depth of the stone but also allows for a unique display of color and luminosity. When positioned under different lighting conditions, the medium intense color intensity of this yellow sapphire provides a versatile display of light and shade play. In natural daylight, this stone radiates a vibrant blend of warmth and subtlety, its sunny hue reflecting the pure and cheerful light inherent in Ceylon sapphires. Under incandescent lighting, the sapphire transforms into a beacon of rich golden tones, while maintaining a stable and enticing hue that captivates the observer.

The origin of this sapphire from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, further enriches its value and credibility. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated globally for their superior quality and unparalleled color range, known throughout history for their regal connection and durability. This yellow sapphire upholds these esteemed characteristics, representing not just aesthetic beauty but also a storied legacy of gemstone mining and refinement. The transparency and medium intense color intensity ensures that this gemstone shines strikingly across ambient light settings. It captures subtle reflections at dusk and subdued environments, its faceting contributing to a delicate dance of light within each facet, a true testament to its excellent polish.

Moreover, the excellent polish of this yellow sapphire yields an exceptionally smooth surface, maximizing its brilliance and ensuring each facet reflects light seamlessly. This polishing procedure, performed using advanced lapidary techniques, enhances not only the gemstone's optical and aesthetic properties but also its durability. In ambient and dim lighting, such fine craftsmanship allows even a slight ray of light to be captured and amplified through the stone’s structure, a characteristic much sought after by connoisseurs and collectors. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are dedicated to offering gemstones that encapsulate both beauty and craftsmanship, and this emerald-cut yellow sapphire stands as a prime example of our commitment to excellence in the field of fine gemstones.
