3.51 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we present to you a truly exceptional yellow sapphire that distills rarity and refinement into a single, lustrous stone, a 3.51 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire, precisely measured at 9.25 by 6.65 by 5.33 millimeters. This gem is transparent, with an intense, pure yellow hue that glows with the kind of saturated color that is extraordinarily uncommon in sapphires of this size. The emerald cut emphasizes clean geometry and broad, elegant facets, creating a serene, architectural presence that allows the stone to display its color in planes of light and shadow. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very very slightly included, a grade that in practice reads as pristine to the unaided eye, and the polish is excellent, producing mirror like facet surfaces that enhance light return and scintillation. Origin matters as much as beauty, and this sapphire comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source revered for producing sapphires of remarkably pure tone and alive saturation. There has been no enhancement, the gem remains wholly natural, a rarity among yellow sapphires where treatment is often the norm.

What sets this specimen apart from similar yellow sapphires is the convergence of size and color intensity, a union that collectors prize and connoisseurs rarely encounter. Yellow sapphires of comparable carat weight are frequently paler or display uneven tone, and many are treated to improve their appearance. This sapphire, by contrast, presents an unmodified, intense yellow that is uniformly saturated across the table and pavilion, a testament to exceptional rough material and masterful cutting. The emerald cut is a considered choice, chosen to preserve weight while maximizing clarity and color evenness, and to create the broad, luminous facets that allow viewers to appreciate subtle shifts within the yellow spectrum as light moves across the stone. The very very slightly included clarity diagnosis confirms that the gem remains visibly free of distracting features, permitting uninterrupted appreciation of its color and internal fire. The excellent polish further amplifies the visual impact, ensuring that every facet edge is crisp and that the stone sits with a confident, refined presence in any setting chosen by the discerning owner.

To own this yellow sapphire is to claim a rarefied fragment of the natural world, a jewel that signals not only exquisite taste, but also an understanding of provenance, integrity, and rarity. This gem wears its lineage from Ceylon Sri Lanka with quiet authority, a provenance that echoes centuries of gemstone history and an aesthetic that translates with equal power into contemporary and classic jewelry designs. Set as the centerpiece of an elegant ring, a timeless pendant, or a bespoke commission, the stone will reward close attention with consistent beauty and a depth of color that becomes more compelling with wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we speak the language of gemstones, and we recognize that a stone like this does more than adorn, it confers status, it commemorates achievement, it becomes the heirloom that carries story and distinction across generations. For collectors and those who seek a singular expression of refinement, this transparent, intense, untreated, emerald cut yellow sapphire represents an opportunity that will not often reappear, an object of desire that answers to both connoisseurship and the innate human attraction to rare, luminous beauty.
