3.32 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that simply catch the eye, and then there are gems that claim it with a quiet, sovereign authority. This heart shaped yellow sapphire weighs 3.32 carat and measures eight point zero nine by eight point five five by six point three one millimeters, a perfectly proportioned jewel that balances presence and poise. Its medium intense golden hue is the color of sunlit honey, luminous without being brash, and the stone is transparent, allowing light to travel through its depths with an open, honest clarity. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very very slightly included, a testament to its natural character that reads as purity rather than perfectionism. Polished to an excellent finish and entirely free of enhancement, the sapphire arrives to you as nature intended, from the historic gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that has long been synonymous with vibrancy and refined tone. To own this sapphire is to possess a slice of geological history and artisanal mastery combined, a possession that signals a cultivated appreciation for the rare and the real.

What makes this stone exceptional is not only its origin or its color, but the way the mixed brilliant cut has been applied to the heart shape to amplify its inherent brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut marries the scintillating geometry of brilliant facets on the crown with the depth and return of precision pavilion facets, producing a choreography of light that alternates between fiery flashes and soft luminous pools. The crown facets act as a mirror for the sun, breaking incoming rays into lively facets of light that play across the heart contours, while the pavilion facets are cut with disciplined angles to reflect that light back through the table rather than losing it to the setting. Because corundum has a refractive index near one point seven six and one point seven seven, it rewards exacting facet junctions and symmetry with superior return and contrast, and the cutter of this gem has respected those physical laws to produce a stone that scintillates with measured exuberance. The heart silhouette is carved with a pronounced cleft and balanced lobes, ensuring that every turn of the wrist generates a cascade of sparkle that draws the eye to the center, while the mixed brilliant facet pattern minimizes windowing and maximizes depth of color even when viewed from above. The result is a gem that appears alive, the yellow intensified where light concentrates, and serenely transparent where light passes cleanly through, a dynamic performance of light and material that feels both modern and timeless.

To wear this heart shape yellow sapphire is to make a personal statement of achievement and affection, whether set as a solitaire ring that centers every gaze, embraced by a delicate halo that amplifies its golden glow, or housed in a bespoke pendant that rests close to the skin and warms with body heat.
