3.52 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

To encounter a gemstone that commands attention with the quiet authority of refined rarity is to understand the language of true luxury, and this transparent 3.52 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire speaks in that language with eloquence. Carefully selected by the gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is an emblem of deliberate taste, a jewel that will sit at the center of any collection with the ease of an heirloom and the distinction of a signature acquisition. Ownership of such a stone is not merely an act of purchase, it is a declaration of discernment, a private signal that the wearer prefers nuance over ostentation, history over trend, and authenticity over imitation. In a market crowded with altered stones and mass produced gems, this sapphire stands apart, a singular expression of natural beauty that rewards those who seek the rare and the genuine.

At 3.52 carats and crafted into a timeless cushion shape, this sapphire measures 8.79 by 7.53 by 5.79 millimeters, dimensions that are unusually generous for a naturally colored yellow sapphire of this tone and clarity. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize both scintillation and depth, producing a lively dance of light across its table and within its pavilion. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means an eye clean presence that allows its inner fire and transparent nature to be enjoyed uninterrupted. The color presents with a medium light intensity, a balanced and luminous yellow that reads as sophisticated and versatile on the finger. Equally important, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, a feature that elevates its desirability and rarity, since many comparable yellow sapphires have been subject to heat or other treatments to alter tone and clarity. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone carries with it the storied provenance of one of the worlds most celebrated sapphire sources, a provenance that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present to collectors who value origin as much as beauty.

Rarity in gemstones is a composite of factors, and this sapphire is rare in both size and color compared with similar options on the market. A 3.52 carat natural yellow sapphire that is transparent, unenhanced, and of medium light intensity is an uncommon find, particularly when paralleled with the eye level clarity this stone offers. Many yellow sapphires that reach or exceed this weight will show heavier tones, more inclusions, or standard industry enhancements, and many stones that present this level of clearness and attractive color will be smaller in carat weight. Because of its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, the stone reads larger than its weight might suggest, giving a commanding presence without appearing overly bold. The interplay of size and tone results in a yellow that is vivid enough to be recognized as a colored gem, and subtle enough to be styled with restraint and elegance. For the collector who understands that rarity is not merely scarcity but the convergence of desired attributes, this sapphire represents a true confluence.

To wear this sapphire is to possess a story of geology, craft, and provenance, curated by The Natural Sapphire Company with care and discretion.

Considered settings for this cushion shaped gem might include a classic solitaire that allows the stone to breathe and command attention, or a bespoke halo of white or warm metals that accentuates the yellow and increases perceived scale, each option transforming the stone into a personal emblem.
