2.83 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.83 carat round yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents exacting proportions and fine finishing, with dimensions of 8.30 by 8.26 by 5.36 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that balances table size with depth for lively light return. The gem exhibits a medium intense yellow tone, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade of slightly included at eye level, attributes that together deliver a bright, appealing appearance while retaining natural character. There has been no enhancement, ensuring the stone is in its original state as sourced. The cut and polish maximize dispersion and scintillation, and the gem sits well on a variety of mounting styles, offering predictable behavior in finished jewelry. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a well proportioned example of its color and craftsmanship, suitable for clients who value natural origin and minimal treatment.

Beyond its visual qualities, this sapphire is inherently well suited to daily wear due to the robust physical properties of corundum. With a Mohs hardness of nine, sapphire is highly resistant to scratching from everyday contact, and it is chemically stable and resistant to most household chemicals and solvents, factors that contribute to long lasting durability in rings, bracelets, pendants, and other pieces. The stone shows only slight inclusions that do not compromise structural integrity, and the mixed brilliant cut with excellent polish both protects and enhances the surface, reducing the visual impact of minor abrasions over time. Proper setting choice and routine cleaning will preserve brilliance, and the stone's natural origin and intact state mean there are no heat or filler treatments that could affect performance. For clients seeking a reliable, attractive gem for everyday jewelry, this Sri Lankan yellow sapphire combines enduring toughness, proven stability, and refined optical properties, and is available through The Natural Sapphire Company.
