2.26 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a gemstone that answers the call for individuality, enduring beauty, and practical wearability, this 2.26 carat oval yellow sapphire is precisely the solution you have been looking for. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this transparent gem measures 8.74 by 6.57 by 4.67 mm, and it has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation while preserving a graceful oval silhouette. The color is a medium intense yellow that reads as sunny and sophisticated, and the clarity is eye clean when viewed at normal eye level, so you will enjoy an unobstructed field of fire and sparkle without the need for magnification. With an excellent polish and no enhancements, this sapphire is a responsibly sourced, natural treasure that makes a statement on its own, and for anyone wanting assurance, The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem and its documented origin. If your priority is a central stone that will look just right as the focus of an engagement ring, or a rare collectible that retains market appeal, this sapphire meets those needs and closes the search.

Imagine this oval as the heart of a classic solitaire, held by four or six delicate prongs to let maximum light pass through, or set in a bezel for a modern, low profile look that is ideal for active lifestyles. The mixed brilliant cut is particularly complementary to halo designs, because the pavilion facets return vivid brilliance to surrounding accents, creating an optical enlargement that makes the stone read larger on the finger. For a bride who wants vintage romance, choose a filigree cathedral setting with milgrain edges and diamond shoulders to frame the yellow tone with warm metal and gentle contrast. If you want clean contemporary lines, a tension setting will float the oval between polished rails, letting the mixed brilliant cut shine without distraction, and a three stone design will emphasize your story by pairing the center yellow sapphire with tapered baguettes or trapeze diamonds for a balanced, elegant profile. Our design team often recommends a low profile four prong for everyday wear, or a raised split shank with gallery detail for someone seeking drama.

Beyond rings, this oval yellow sapphire adapts beautifully to many jewelry forms, so collectors and gift givers can envision it transformed into a signature pendant, a pair of statement drop earrings, or a refined pair of studs. As a pendant, the stone can be set in a halo of small white diamonds to enhance perceived size and brilliance, or mounted in a bezel on a short chain for a minimalist look that centers warmth against the neckline. For earrings, matching ovals can be mirrored or paired with smaller accent stones to create balanced drops, whereas a single oval can become a stunning solitaire stud when secured in a careful prong or bezel setting. Men who appreciate color will find this gem suitable for a signet or custom men ring, where a flush or bezel mount provides security while showcasing color in a masculine silhouette. Metal selection will further tailor personality, yellow gold bringing a tonal blend that deepens the warmth of the sapphire, rose gold adding a romantic softness, white gold or platinum offering a modern high contrast that makes the yellow pop. Two tone designs are particularly effective, with a white metal halo to accent brightness, and a warm gold shank to harmonize with the stone.

When you choose this unenhanced Ceylon yellow sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company, you are selecting a gem with clear provenance and natural character, ready to be tailored to your exact vision. Sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs scale, so this stone is inherently durable for daily wear, and its excellent polish means it will maintain lively reflections under most lighting conditions. Our customization process is collaborative, we offer CAD renderings and wax models so you can visualize proportions and settings, and we can suggest precise prong sizes, halo proportions, and shoulder treatments that will protect the pavilion while maximizing light return. Whether you want a bespoke engagement ring that will be treasured for generations, a collectible loose gem to add to a connoisseur collection, or a standout pendant for an anniversary gift, this oval yellow sapphire is designed to satisfy.
