2.20 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the storied hills of Ceylon Sri Lanka comes a gemstone that speaks to centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and reverence for natural beauty, The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a transparent yellow sapphire of refined presence and classical charm. This sapphire weighs two point two zero carat and measures eight point three two by five point seven seven by five point three one millimeters, an elegant oval shape that evokes the timeless silhouettes favored by noble jewelers across eras. Its medium light color intensity bathes the gem in a warm golden tone that recalls sunlit temples and antique treasures, while its eye clean clarity, evaluated at eye level, assures an untroubled vista into the heart of the stone. Untreated and with no enhancement, this Ceylon sapphire preserves the unaltered signature of its origin, a purity that resonates with collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance and natural character. The excellent polish on every facet honors classical lapidary traditions, creating smooth planes that capture and release light with a calm and assured manner, as if the gem itself were a window into a quiet chapter of the earths deeper story.

The cut of this oval sapphire is a mixed brilliant cut, a thoughtful marriage of old world proportions and modern facet geometry, designed to amplify the sapphires inherent powers of light reflection and color. The mixed brilliant approach combines a faceted crown with a brilliant array of star and kite facets above the girdle, and a pavilion composed of complementary facets below, enabling superior return of light to the eye. The shallow to medium depth created by the specified measurements allows light to enter the table, scatter across the pavilion facets, and return through the crown with heightened brilliance and lively scintillation, while the facet pattern disperses white light into subtle flashes of spectral fire that play within the stone without overwhelming its serene yellow voice. The oval silhouette concentrates these effects along a graceful axis, producing a scintillation rhythm that flatters motion and hand gestures, and its symmetry and proportions, reinforced by an excellent polish, ensure that each turning of the gem yields clean flashes of brightness and soft internal glow. Because the sapphire is eye clean, no internal distractions interrupt this optical performance, allowing the mixed brilliant architecture to perform at full measure, converting incoming light into a luminous presence that is both lively and dignified.

Such a gem invites a setting that honors its lineage and promises longevity, and here the narrative of legacy becomes a practical matter of design and devotion. Consider a bespoke piece in warm yellow gold to echo the sapphires honey tone, or a refined white metal frame to create elegant contrast that emphasizes clarity and light play, each option capable of transforming this stone into an heirloom meant to be worn and handed down. The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to guide clients through choices of mounting and certification, offering insight into how a two point two zero carat Ceylon sapphire with mixed brilliant cut, medium light color intensity, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and no enhancement can serve as a symbol of enduring commitment, a collector piece, or a centerpiece for bespoke jewelry that will speak to future generations. This sapphire is more than a gemstone, it is a continuation of artisanal tradition and natural history, a luminous fragment of Ceylon that carries both the calm dignity of antiquity and the refined engineering of modern cutting, an investment in beauty that will deepen in story with every passing year.
