3.17 Ct. Orangish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a pocket of sunlight into your hand, a gem that smiles with warmth and quiet confidence. This exquisite transparent sapphire, weighing 3.17 carat, is cut into an elegant emerald shape with dimensions 10.19 x 7.20 x 4.36 mm, faceted to catch and reflect light with a refined, architectural grace. The color leans toward a delicate orangish yellow with light color intensity, a hue that feels like the first golden hour after dawn, full of promise and gentle glow. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining the natural character that makes each sapphire unique. An excellent polish gives every facet a mirror like finish, enhancing the stone's transparency and scintillation. This gem has been heat treated, a common enhancement that optimizes its natural beauty, and it comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source revered for producing sapphires with soul and story, stones that carry the history of skilled hands and ancient sands. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish such gems for their rarity and the emotions they inspire, and we are proud to present this one as a piece destined to create memories.
