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

A heart shaped gemstone is the universal emblem of devoted affection, and this extraordinary 2.57 carat heart shape orangish yellow sapphire is a declaration of love cast in exquisite natural beauty. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company, this transparent gem measures 8.02 by 8.93 by 4.96 mm, and carries a presence that balances elegance with confidence. The vivid color intensity of its orangish yellow hue is at once warm and luminous, an uncommon and captivating tone that catches the eye and holds it. Untreated and wholly natural, with no enhancement, this sapphire embodies authenticity, rarity, and the refined taste of someone who seeks more than the ordinary when choosing an engagement gem.

The mixed brilliant cut of this specimen has been masterfully executed to maximize scintillation and flash, offering a lively interplay of light that animates every facet. Because the polish is excellent, each surface returns light with crystalline clarity, and the overall effect on the hand is one of radiant brilliance tempered by a soft, honeyed warmth. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, this sapphire shows no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, which elevates both its aesthetic appeal and its desirability for a ring meant to be worn daily. At 2.57 carat, and with the generous table offered by the heart shape proportions, it reads with meaningful size without overwhelming the finger, making it equally suitable to a classic solitaire as to a halo setting that amplifies its color and form.

An engagement ring centered with this Ceylon heart sapphire becomes more than jewelry, it becomes an heirloom, a testament, and a statement of identity. Sapphires rate nine on the Mohs scale, ensuring resilience for everyday life while retaining that preciousness reserved for stones of true significance. Imagine this vivid orangish yellow heart set in warm rose gold to accentuate its sunset tones, or in yellow gold for a vintage inspired glow, or in platinum to provide a modern, architectural canvas that allows the color to sing. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pair gems like this with settings crafted to honor the stone, and our gem specialists provide thoughtful guidance on proportions, metals, and mounting styles to secure the sapphire safely and to present it to its very best advantage. Choosing this heart shaped Ceylon sapphire for an engagement is an achievement in taste, a personal and bold choice that speaks to a life lived with intention, and a legacy that will be admired for generations.
