3.18 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a sunlit secret onto a fingertip, a gem that catches the first light and holds it for every ordinary moment that becomes a memory. This transparent 3.18 carat pear shape yellow sapphire measures 11.19 x 7.10 x 5.04 mm, it has a mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium light color intensity, and an excellent polish, enhancement no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. From the moment you see this stone you feel the warmth and optimism that only a natural Ceylon sapphire can offer. As a specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company I have watched similar stones transform promises into heirlooms, and this one is perfectly poised to begin that journey. Its pear shape gives a graceful drop that flatters the hand, and the mixed brilliant cut balances lively sparkle with a soft, honeyed glow, making it both striking and tender. The clarity is honest and real, with slight inclusions that tell the story of its earth born origin, and the unheated nature of the sapphire preserves its true character and rarity.

Think of how this pear shape yellow sapphire could become the heart of countless designs, each one tailored to a memory you wish to create. Set it as a classic solitaire ring to let its pure color sing alone, or choose a delicate halo of small white diamonds to lift the yellow into brilliant contrast, creating a glowing halo that reads both modern and timeless. For a more intimate silhouette consider a three stone design, flanking the pear with tapered baguettes or round brilliant sapphires to create a narrative of past present and future. If you crave daily comfort and a subtle frame, a bezel setting will protect the girdle and create a contemporary silhouette that moves with you. For moments that call for dramatic movement envision this gem as the drop of an elegant pendant, illuminated by light from every angle, or as the central note in a pair of bespoke drop earrings where the pear shape becomes a soft teardrop of sunlight. Each setting choice transforms the same beautiful sapphire into a different language of feeling, from bold declarations of love to quiet statements of personal joy.

Choosing the right metal and accents will deepen the emotion this gem evokes, and we are here to guide you through those choices with both care and expertise. Warm yellow gold will embrace the natural yellow tone and create a vintage inspired glow that reads like a sunset memory. Rose gold will lend a romantic blush that softens the stone into a modern love story, while white gold or platinum will allow the mixed brilliant cut and polish to speak in clear, brilliant tones, perfect for a piece meant to stand for generations. Pairing with diamonds will amplify sparkle and lend an air of classic refinement, while surrounding the stone with subtly colored sapphires can create a personalized palette that echoes birth months, anniversaries, or shared travels. We can refine prong designs to elongate and flatter the finger, sculpt the gallery for light flow, and recommend secure settings that honor the stone while ensuring it is comfortable for daily wear.
