3.03 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent yellow sapphire weighs 3.03 carats, a carat weight that situates this stone firmly within the premium class for natural yellow sapphires, offering both visual presence and practical versatility for fine jewelry. The oval shape measures 10.30 by 7.31 by 4.56 millimeters, proportions that provide a generous face up presentation while maintaining balanced depth for strong light return. Cut to a mixed brilliant style, the pavilion facets work with a precise crown arrangement to produce lively scintillation and a sustained face up brilliance, and the excellent polish further enhances surface luster and facet clarity. The gem displays vivid color intensity, a saturated, clear yellow tone that remains bright without appearing overly dark, and the clarity was evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating minimal internal features that do not interfere with transparency or sparkle. Origin recorded as Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the hallmark color character and crystalline quality associated with that region, and the stone has been heat treated as a standard enhancement to stabilize and optimize its color uniformity.

From a material and design perspective, the 3.03 carat weight of this sapphire represents a premium offering in size and presence, suitable for solitaire rings, center stones in classic three stone settings, and bespoke pieces where the gem can remain the focal point. The combination of vivid color intensity and a mixed brilliant cut yields a stone that reads as both lively and refined on the hand, and the dimensions enable a range of mounting options without excessive bezel coverage. Heat treatment is a stable and accepted practice in sapphire enhancement, applied to improve color saturation and clarity while maintaining the gemological integrity of the crystal.
