3.40 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover a rare and luminous treasure from the heart of Ceylon, a transparent 3.40 carat yellow sapphire that stands apart in both size and color. Stones of this weight and clarity in this hue are seldom encountered, making this oval gem an exceptional find for those who seek singularity. Measuring 9.52 by 8.08 by 5.61 mm, this sapphire occupies a desirable scale for those who wish to make a confident statement while retaining timeless elegance. Its medium intense color intensity delivers a sunny, refined yellow that is vivid without overpowering, a subtle glow that reads as sophisticated rather than garish. This gem has not been subjected to enhancement, a distinction that ensures its natural provenance and maintains the intrinsic character that collectors value most.

Crafted with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and scintillation, this sapphire reveals a lively interplay of light that changes as it moves. The excellent polish enhances the surface brilliance, allowing light to travel through the pavilion and crown with remarkable clarity, while the very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level confirms a high degree of transparency. These microscopic inclusions do not diminish its visual impact, instead they attest to its natural origin and uniqueness. Compared with typical yellow sapphires of similar sizes, this stone offers a more balanced combination of weight, clarity, and hue. Many stones of this color are treated to intensify tone, or they are smaller and less transparent. This piece demands attention for being both naturally colored and substantially scaled, qualities that make it rare among available options.

Owning this yellow sapphire means joining an exclusive group of collectors and connoisseurs who recognize true rarity, it is a piece that will translate beautifully into an elegant solitaire, a bespoke three stone creation, or a contemporary bezel for daily wear. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present such a stone, sourced from Sri Lanka, and offered to discerning clients who appreciate authenticity and provenance. As a non enhanced Ceylon sapphire with a harmonious mix of weight, cut, color, and polish, it carries both aesthetic and intrinsic value, making it suitable as an investment and as a future family heirloom.
