Weight is one of the most important attributes that determines rarity and value for colored gemstones, more so than for many other types of merchandise, and the 2.07 carat weight of this sapphire is a meaningful attribute. Sapphires increase in rarity as they grow larger, and stones above two carats are significantly less common than smaller counterparts with similar color and clarity. The market for sapphires tends to step up as weights cross certain thresholds, and a clean, well colored stone at just over two carats often commands a premium on a per carat basis compared with smaller examples. Beyond market dynamics, the additional weight provides visual impact when mounted, giving the gem presence in a ring or pendant without requiring an overly large setting. For buyers who value proportional balance between stone size and elegance, a 2.07 carat sapphire offers an ideal compromise, providing a noticeable and luxurious appearance while retaining comfortable wearability for daily use.

The cutting and proportions of this sapphire further enhance the value contributed by its weight, and the radiant cut has been executed to maximize light return and preserve weight from the rough. With table and crown facets arranged to deliver lively scintillation, the radiant shape also retains more of the original rough material than many fancy cuts, which helps realize a higher finished weight. The stone measures 6.85 by 6.81 millimeters across and 4.61 millimeters deep, which equates to a depth of about 67.5 percent relative to the average diameter, a proportion that supports strong brightness while maintaining a pleasing face up size. The clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that inclusions are minimal and not distracting to the unaided eye, which is especially valuable in a yellow sapphire where clarity supports maximum color saturation and brilliance. Excellent polish completes the presentation, ensuring clean facet junctions and smooth reflective planes that contribute to crisp light performance and an appealing visual texture.

Origin and treatment are critical considerations for informed buyers, and this sapphire’s provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, carries distinct connotations that many collectors and connoisseurs actively seek. Ceylon yellow sapphires are known for exhibiting clean, bright tones and a luminous character that differs from the deeper or more golden yellows that come from other localities. Heat treatment is a standard and widely accepted method to improve color and clarity in sapphires, and when disclosed it provides transparency about the stone’s enhancement history without diminishing its desirability. For practical ownership considerations, the gem is durable and well suited to daily wear when set in a secure mounting, and recommended care includes avoiding sudden high heat and cleaning with warm soapy water or an ultrasonic cleaner if there are no fractures or fillings. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance and workmanship of this stone, and we are able to assist with gemological reports, bespoke mounting options, and guidance on setting styles that complement the radiant shape and the stone’s medium intense yellow. For buyers seeking a rare, well proportioned, and visually engaging yellow sapphire, this 2.07 carat Ceylon example represents a compelling balance of weight, color, clarity, and craftsmanship.
