2.08 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the workbench of a master cutter, this yellow sapphire carries a story that is both geological and human. Formed under ancient heat and pressure, this transparent 2.08 carat gem was recovered from Sri Lankan alluvial deposits that have produced some of the world most cherished sapphires. The stone was carefully evaluated and left unenhanced, preserving its natural charm and authenticity. Cut into an elegant emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 8.03 x 5.68 x 4.43 mm, the stone showcases crisp step facets and a broad table, giving a window into the gem and celebrating its very slightly included clarity as seen at eye level. The medium light color intensity bathes the gem in a soft, sunlit yellow that is distinctly Ceylon in character, and an excellent polish delivers a refined surface that sings under any light.

This sapphire is especially ideal for custom jewelry, and its proportions invite imagination. At 2.08 carat and with a classic emerald cut shape, the gem offers the perfect balance of presence and versatility, making it an exceptional center for a solitaire ring, a refined three stone arrangement, or an elegant halo setting. The rectangular outline fits beautifully in both vertical and east west designs, and the step cut lends vintage inspired architecture that complements both delicate settings and stronger, more modern interpretations. Because the gem is unenhanced and well polished, it pairs effortlessly with yellow gold to enhance warmth, with rose gold for a romantic contrast, or with platinum for a contemporary coolness. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate the provenance of this Ceylon sapphire and the craftsmanship that brought it from mine to master cutter to your design. Our gemologists and designers can help you choose the ideal mounting, suggest protective settings that secure the corners of an emerald cut, and create a bespoke piece that honors the gem story while reflecting your personal style. If you are seeking a natural, well proportioned yellow sapphire with honest clarity, authentic origin, and exceptional polish, this 2.08 carat emerald cut stone is a rare opportunity to create a custom jewel that carries both history and modern elegance.
