3.12 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that speak in a hush, and then there is this yellow sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, a whisper of sunlight captured beneath a flawless surface, a jewel that seems to remember the first dawn. This gem is a transparent oval of 3.12 carats, measuring 9.73 x 7.66 x 4.81 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that scatters light like a secret shared between lovers. Its medium intense color blooms from the heart to the edges, a warm honeyed radiance that is neither loud nor faint, but intimate and arresting. When you hold it, the facets melt into one another with an excellent polish, and under careful inspection the clarity reads very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to nature rather than treatment, because this sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, a pure offering from the earth. Its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a name that carries with it centuries of gem lore, and the stone arrives to you as both a physical treasure and a poem.

To wear a Ceylon yellow sapphire is to wear a lineage, because for generations these sunny gems were chosen by kings, by traders, and by those who believed in the power of color to shape fate. In the temples and courts of history, sapphires of golden hue were prized as talismans for prosperity, gifts of celebration, and companions to vows of fidelity. In South Asian tradition this yellow sapphire is known as pukhraj, a gem woven into astrological rites and personal rituals, offered to mark new beginnings, to celebrate unions, and to anchor intentions of wisdom and abundance. Ceylon, the island of ancient mines, has long been celebrated for producing stones that combine clarity with character, and this particular oval carries that island memory in every facet, a quiet echo of riverbeds and monsoon light. The mixed brilliant cut translates those memories into motion, so that each turn of the wrist becomes a small ceremony, every glint an invitation to remember what matters.

Imagine this sapphire set into a ring, a pendant, a secret piece tucked at the throat or resting against warmed skin, where its color will converse with sunlight and candlelight in equal measure. Picture a delicate halo that frames the oval without stealing its voice, or a simple four prong embrace that allows its light to breathe freely, each choice a chapter in the story you wish to tell. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor both the science and the romance of such gems, guiding you to settings that respect size and proportion, that celebrate the 9.73 x 7.66 x 4.81 mm dimensions and the mixed brilliant geometry, and that preserve the integrity of a sapphire that has received no enhancement. This stone is an heirloom in waiting, perfect for an engagement with soul, for a vow renewed, or for a gift that marks a turning point. If you seek a jewel that links you to an ancient craft and to the softer music of the heart, this Ceylon yellow sapphire offers itself, a warm beacon whose provenance, polish, and purity promise both beauty and meaning.
