2.43 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.43 carat oval yellow sapphire, Other certified Vivid Yellow, presents a meticulous mixed brilliant cut executed with high precision, dimensions 8.88 x 6.88 x 4.67 mm, offering an immediately perceptible balance between fire and brilliance. The cutter adopted a controlled pavilion depth and refined crown angles to optimize internal reflections, and the geometric faceting, which allows maximum light play, is evident in the interaction of kite and star facets across the crown and in the pavilion chevron arrangement. Facet junctions are sharp and consistent, producing clean facet contrast and effective light return even under varied lighting conditions, and the mixed brilliant architecture enhances both dispersion and scintillation by combining the broad light gathering of step influences with the lively return of brilliant facets. The oval outline has been proportioned to maintain a pleasing length to width ratio, ensuring the table size and crown height support strong face up presence without sacrificing depth of field, and the girdle exhibits symmetrical thickness that facilitates secure setting while preserving optimal optical performance.

Color and clarity characteristics further define the gem in technical terms, medium intense color intensity yields a vivid yellow that remains balanced across the pavilion and crown, and uniform color distribution minimizes zoning and allows clean transmission of light. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, with small natural inclusions that do not interfere with brilliance or structural integrity, and the stone is transparent, with an excellent polish that minimizes surface diffusion and maximizes return of spectral flashes. This sapphire is natural, no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source noted for producing saturated, lively yellow tones and sapphires with robust crystallographic stability. For connoisseurs seeking a well cut, certified vivid yellow sapphire with technical excellence in faceting and finish, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as a refined option, ready for bespoke mounting or technical appraisal, and we welcome requests for light performance images, viewing under specific light sources, or specialized mounting recommendations to preserve the gem optics and maximize visual impact.
