3.39 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a transparent 3.39 carat pear shape yellow sapphire, measuring 10.08 by 7.39 by 6.13 mm. The mixed brilliant cut combines step facets on the pavilion with brilliant facets on the crown to deliver lively light return and scintillation, enhanced by an excellent polish. Color is medium intensity, offering a lively, true yellow that reads well in both warm and neutral metal settings. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the unaided eye while exhibiting only minor needle or pinpoint inclusions under magnification, a sign of high quality for a natural Ceylon sapphire. This sapphire is natural with no enhancement, and its provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to its desirability among connoisseurs because Sri Lankan sapphires are renowned for their fine color and crystal clarity. Corundum hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale assures excellent durability for daily wear in rings and bracelets, while the balanced proportions of 10.08 by 7.39 by 6.13 mm make it well suited to many classic and contemporary designs.

As a pear shape with mixed brilliant faceting this sapphire adapts beautifully to a variety of custom settings, it makes an elegant solitaire in either a tapered prong or bezel setting, with the point protected by a V prong or subtle bezel top, it lends itself to a halo arrangement to amplify perceived size and color when surrounded by pave or single cut diamonds, it is equally striking as the center of a three stone ring flanked by tapered baguettes or trillion cut side stones, and it can be matched into a pendant with a drop design, into asymmetric modern earrings, or into a cocktail ring with mixed gem accents. Customers working with our design team at The Natural Sapphire Company can choose metal tones to influence the yellow, with yellow gold enhancing warmth, rose gold adding vintage character, and platinum or white gold offering a crisp contrast that emphasizes brilliance. For bespoke commissions we can recommend exact setting profiles and girdle orientation to maximize face up color and durability, and we provide professional mounting guidance and care recommendations to protect the unheated natural sapphire for generations.
