3.45 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a ray of sunshine shaped into a jewel, a stone that seems to smile when light touches it, a piece that turns ordinary moments into memories you will return to with a warmth that is almost tangible. This is a rare transparent yellow sapphire weighing 3.45 carats, an asscher octagon shape that captures attention with elegant geometry and a modern vintage charm. It is precisely cut to reveal depth and clarity, measuring 8.34 by 8.19 by 4.69 millimeters, with an asscher cut that emphasizes clean lines and dramatic light play. The color is intense, an embrace of pure yellow that radiates joy and optimism, and the polish is excellent, offering mirror like facets that flash with every movement. The clarity is graded slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a gentle reminder that this is a natural treasure with character, and no enhancement has been applied, preserving the stone in the authentic state it was formed in the earth.
