2.77 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones and then there are rare, singular treasures that arrive so infrequently that they seem destined for a very small circle of discerning collectors and connoisseurs, and this 2.77 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company belongs unmistakably to that rarified class. From the moment you lift it to the light you sense its presence, a substantial yet wearable weight in carats that announces itself with confidence, a gemstone that occupies a unique position between delicate charm and sovereign character. Owning this sapphire is to join an exclusive group of patrons who appreciate the nuanced balance of provenance, craftsmanship, and natural beauty, a group that understands that a carefully chosen gem is not merely an accessory, but a signature and a legacy. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone as a single available example, a solitary opportunity to claim a vivid Ceylon yellow sapphire that exemplifies the very best attributes collectors seek in top tier colored gemstones.

Measured at 7.76 x 7.67 x 5.20 millimeters, weighing precisely 2.77 carats, and cut in a refined cushion shape with a mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire is technically notable and visually arresting, an ideal proportion for both statement rings and elevated pendant settings. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to maximize brilliance and fire, while retaining the warm, sunlike body color that makes Ceylon yellows so coveted. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone reads as clean to the naked eye in most lighting situations, while subtle inclusions confirm its natural origin and add character without compromising optical performance. The polish on this gem is excellent, another mark of superior lapidary work that ensures every facet edge throws light with crisp, lively return. This stone has been enhancement heat treated, a standard and stable practice that brings forward the finest possible hue and clarity while honoring the natural material, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long regarded for producing sapphires with exceptional saturation and velvety transparency.

Visual and emotional impact are paramount when evaluating a piece of this caliber, and this sapphire delivers on both counts with a vivid color intensity that reads as a pure, luminous golden yellow, reminiscent of late afternoon sunlight or the heart of a freshly harvested saffron blossom. The cushion silhouette softens the geometry of its brilliance, creating a timeless silhouette that pairs beautifully with both modern and vintage inspired settings, while the mixed brilliant faceting creates a dynamic interplay between scintillation and depth. At 2.77 carats the gem carries real presence on the hand, large enough to be admired from a distance, yet not so large as to overwhelm the wearer, offering a perfect dialogue between elegance and confidence. The exceptional polish and proportion ensure that light travels cleanly through the pavilion and crown, producing flashes that animate the stone with a lively, velvety glow rather than a harsh glare. As an expert who has examined countless sapphires, I can say that this stone possesses an immediacy and purity of tone that places it ahead of many comparable specimens, a quality that collectors and bespoke clients consistently seek when commissioning a singular piece.

This sapphire is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company as a limited, one of a kind offering, an opportunity to commission a bespoke setting that will transform this singular gem into an heirloom to be worn and passed down for generations. Because stones of this weight, color, and provenance are rarely available on the open market, acquisition is an invitation to join a privileged circle of owners who value rarity and artisanal finishing as much as the gem itself. Our team can advise on settings in platinum or the warm embrace of yellow or rose gold, on prong counts that protect the cushion shape while allowing maximal light, and on custom design elements that will enhance the stone without obscuring its natural charm. We also provide guidance on care, insurance valuation, and certification, ensuring that your investment is protected and appreciated for its true quality. If you are seeking a stone that conveys both refined taste and singular distinction, this 2.77 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire stands apart, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to facilitate a seamless and private acquisition, guiding you through design choices and delivery so that this exquisite gem becomes a personal emblem of exclusivity and lasting beauty.
