2.06 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Like a captured morning sun set into a jeweller's palm, this oval yellow sapphire carries a light that feels both ancient and immediate. We present a transparent 2.06 carat oval, measuring 7.69 x 6.22 x 5.05 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry depth and dazzle. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, allowing the gem to remain luminous and near eye clean while showing the living character that natural stones possess. The color intensity is intense, a golden hue that seems to breathe when moved, and the polish is excellent so that each facet returns light with crisp, liquid reflections. Heat treated to enhance its natural radiance, and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the warm provenance of an island known for its storied sapphires. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to imagine this stone set close to the heart, where its sunshine tone will warm every glance and gesture.

Compared to more common yellow gemstones this Ceylon sapphire stands apart in both soul and science. Against citrine the sapphire shows a deeper, more saturated heart, rather than a pale facsimile of sunshine, and it keeps that color through different lights rather than flattening into a washed tone. Against yellow topaz it offers a richer refractive life and a sturdier presence, thanks to the sapphire being harder and more resistant to wear. Against diamond the difference is not about being less brilliant but about offering a different kind of brilliance. A diamond scatters light in icy, crystalline fireworks, while this yellow sapphire returns light as a warm, expansive glow, a living flame rather than a sharp star. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this unique effect by combining a scintillating crown with faceting that gives depth to the body color, and the excellent polish ensures every flash is clean and inviting. Durable with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, and lovingly finished by master cutters, this stone is ideal for an intimate ring or a cherished pendant that will be worn and remembered. Let The Natural Sapphire Company help you make this golden Ceylon treasure the quiet, radiant center of your most meaningful piece.
