2.57 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a center stone that finishes an engagement design or completes a collector led search for a rare and lively yellow sapphire, this pear shaped gem from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that need precisely. This transparent 2.57 carat pear shape yellow sapphire measures 9.80 x 6.76 x 4.96 millimeters, a size that reads elegant on the hand and generous in a pendant. Its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to bring a lively dance of light across every facet, and an excellent polish gives the surface an immediate sheen that speaks to careful cutting and final finish. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, a quality that preserves the gems brilliance while offering the character many collectors appreciate, and the medium intense color intensity provides a golden presence that is neither faint nor overpowering, a tone that adapts beautifully to both warm and cool metals. Origin matters, and this sapphire comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with luminescent tones and consistent quality, and it has been responsibly heat treated to reveal and stabilize its best color, a common and accepted enhancement for natural sapphires.

When you compare this sapphire to famous yellow gems in history, it has the warm, radiant mood of the legendary Tiffany Yellow Diamond without suggesting it is the same category of rarity, and it recalls the golden hues sought after by royal jewelers throughout history who prized gems for both color and life. Unlike many historical stones that were prized primarily for size or provenance alone, this 2.57 carat pear shaped sapphire balances color, clarity, and cut in a way that creates immediate visual impact. The pear shape also calls to mind classic pendants and asymmetric ring styles favored by notable collectors, while its mixed brilliant faceting offers the kind of scintillation that made certain historical sapphires famous at court and in private collections. Because sapphires rank high on the Mohs scale of hardness, this gem also brings a practical advantage that many historical yellow jewels could not promise, a durability that allows it to be set for everyday wear and still hold its brilliant presence through decades of use.

For someone designing an engagement ring, this stone answers the desire for something singular and meaningful, yet wearable. The tapered end of the pear shape flatters the finger and visually elongates the hand, the medium intense yellow creates warmth that complements rose gold and yellow gold, and the transparency and polish allow accent diamonds or side stones to play with the center without competing with it. For a collector seeking a Ceylon yellow sapphire with provenance and pleasing proportions, this gem delivers a compelling combination of origin, cut quality, and color saturation. The subtle inclusions visible under careful inspection assure a natural origin and tell a geological story, while the heat treatment is a disclosed and stabilizing enhancement that we at The Natural Sapphire Company document and stand behind, a practice that protects value and ensures long term color stability.

Our recommendation at The Natural Sapphire Company is tailored to your objective, whether you are creating an heirloom engagement piece, composing a bespoke pendant, or adding a showpiece to a curated collection. We can advise on settings that enhance the pear silhouette and maximize the mixed brilliant cut flashes, suggest metal choices that heighten the medium intense yellow without masking its clarity, and provide certified details and imaging so you can be confident in the gemstone you choose. If your priority is a gem that carries historical echoes while offering contemporary wearability and craftsmanship, this 2.57 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire is an ideal solution, a gem that closes the search and begins the next chapter of your story.
