3.57 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the depths of Sri Lanka's ancient soils this pear shape yellow sapphire emerged as a quiet testament to time and patience. For generations, Ceylon has yielded sapphires that carry the island's unique light, and this 3.57 carat gem is no exception. Transparent and alive with an intense golden hue, it measures 11.76 x 8.86 x 5.07 mm and has been faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to amplify its inner fire. At eye level it is graded very very slightly included, a clarity that allows the stone to sing with brilliance while retaining natural character. Our cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company honored the stone by preserving its natural lines, polishing each facet to an excellent finish, and applying careful heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color without masking origin or personality. Holding this sapphire you can trace a journey from the crystalline formations laid down over geological epochs, through the hands of miners and polishers, to the deliberate choices of cut and finish that reveal its best self.

This yellow sapphire is conceived to be more than a piece of jewelry, it is a beginning of a family story. Sapphire ranks high on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it resists the knocks and daily wear that wear other gems down, so this 3.57 carat pear will survive generations with minimal intervention. The timeless pear silhouette reads as both elegant and resilient, suitable for a classic solitaire ring or an heirloom pendant designed to be worn and loved across decades. Because The Natural Sapphire Company documents origin and treatment, you can pass along a clear record of provenance and care, helping your descendants cherish not only the beauty but the truth behind it. With proper care and occasional professional cleaning this stone will preserve its intense color and excellent polish, serving as a tangible link between hands that first unearthed it and those who will one day inherit it, a living heirloom that carries place, craft, and memory.
