2.75 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape yellow sapphire weighs 2.75 carats, with precise dimensions of 10.22 by 7.29 by 4.96 mm, and exhibits the controlled brilliance and symmetry that discerning buyers seek. Cut to a mixed brilliant style, the stone combines a standard brilliant crown with a carefully faceted pavilion, producing dynamic light return and lively scintillation across the table and wings. The cutter has balanced facet proportions to optimize for both brilliance and spread, preserving weight while maintaining a clean pantheon of table and crown facets. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means minor internal features are present but do not interrupt transparency or overall light performance. The medium color intensity yields a pure lemon to warm canary yellow, evenly distributed without zoning, and the stone shows an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and strong mirror surfaces. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing yellow sapphires with lively tone and attractive saturation, qualities that are evident in this gem.

For an engagement ring this sapphire presents a sophisticated technical and aesthetic proposition, offering a balance of durability, light performance, and color that suits daily wear. The pear outline is inherently flattering, elongating the finger when set in a well proportioned setting, and the mixed brilliant cutting maximizes flash and pavilion dispersion under both direct and diffuse light. Recommended mounting options include a three or four prong basket to showcase the pointed tip and secure the girdle, a halo design to enhance apparent size while maintaining the stone as the focal point, or a low bezel for added protection without sacrificing presence. The very slightly included clarity grade allows this sapphire to read clean in hand, while the excellent polish contributes to overall sparkle and perceived value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize exacting gemstone selection and cutting standards, and this Ceylon yellow sapphire exemplifies our commitment to technical quality and enduring design, making it an ideal centerpiece for an engagement ring that combines gemological rigor with timeless elegance.
