2.47 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This Transparent oval shape sapphire weighs 2.47 carats and measures 8.34 x 6.11 x 5.40 millimeters, presenting a refined balance between presence and wearability. The gem displays an orangish yellow hue with intense color saturation, a tone that reads warm and lively while remaining distinctly sapphire in character. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize internal play of light, creating a dynamic field of scintillation across the table and crown. Viewed face up, the stone exhibits even color distribution and a clean visual surface, attributes that allow the inherent transparency and color to be appreciated without distraction.

The proportions and mixed brilliant geometry contribute directly to the stone behavior under varied lighting, the shallow crown facets and precisely angled pavilion facets permit controlled light return, and the oval outline offers gentle elongation that complements most jewelry settings. The 8.34 by 6.11 millimeter dimensions are well suited to a ring center, pendant focal point, or an elegant pair of bespoke earrings, providing a substantial visual impact while preserving comfortable wear. The mixed brilliant cut yields a lively combination of broad flashes and fine scintillation, so that the gem reads as vivid at a distance and richly textured on closer inspection. The oval shape also lends itself to contemporary and classical mounts, and allows gem setters to orient the stone for optimal face up color intensity.

Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and this exceptional clarity enhances transparency and brilliance, permitting light to pass through the body of the sapphire with minimal interruption. The very very slight inclusions are not visually apparent without magnification at typical viewing distances, and they do not interfere with the stone optical performance. An excellent polish further refines the pavilion and crown facets, producing crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet surfaces that elevate overall brilliance and surface luster. These combined clarity and polish qualities ensure the gem presents as clean and lively from multiple angles, making its internal reflections and external flashes consistently appealing whether inspected close up or admired at a casual glance.

This sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, and is certified as originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that is widely respected for producing sapphires of noteworthy color and clarity. The absence of treatments preserves the natural crystal character and color zoning, and it provides collectors and designers with a gem whose optical and physical attributes are inherent rather than manufactured. Natural origin and no enhancement also support decisions related to valuation, design, and long term care, as the stone will respond predictably to standard jewelry maintenance procedures. Sourcing from Ceylon contributes to the gem narrative, linking it to a historical geology and gem cutting tradition known for fine sapphire material.
