3.00 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped yellowish green sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of stones that have survived centuries and cultures, a jewel that seems to belong to ancient courts as much as to modern collections. From the storied soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem weighs 3.00 carats, and measures 10.29 by 7.60 by 5.22 millimeters, a proportion that flatters both classic and contemporary settings. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate the continuity of tradition, and this transparent sapphire with its intense color intensity and excellent polish is a perfect example of a living legacy. Heat treated to reveal and stabilize its vivid tones, the stone retains natural features that speak to its journey through time, while its very very slightly included clarity grade as evaluated at eye level ensures purity and presence without sacrificing authenticity.

The elegance of this sapphire is more than color and provenance, it begins at the atomic level and is realized in expert cutting. As corundum, this gem possesses a tightly bonded crystalline lattice and a refractive nature that responds beautifully to light, and the mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize that interaction. The mixed brilliant design combines a brilliant crown with a complementary pavilion, drawing light into the stone and returning it as lively brilliance and scintillation that the eye reads as sparkle. The precise facet geometry, matched with an excellent polish, creates mirror like planes that channel flashes of yellowish green, and subtle internal reflections that shift and glow as the stone moves. Its transparency and intense saturation mean that light is both absorbed and reflected in balanced measure, so that depth and fire coexist, producing an effect that is at once luminous and refined. Durable and enduring by nature, this sapphire will carry its color and its history across generations, making it a piece to be set with respect and worn with pride, a treasure from The Natural Sapphire Company that celebrates the timeless dialogue between earth, craftsman, and wearer.
