3.60 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.60 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire measures 9.14 x 7.14 x 5.09 mm, offering a balanced combination of presence and wearability for bespoke jewelry projects. The emerald cut emphasizes clean, linear facets and a broad table, presenting color and clarity in a restrained and elegant manner. This stone has a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and exhibits medium color intensity that reads as a warm, versatile yellow in a variety of lighting conditions. The polish has been graded excellent, resulting in crisp facet junctions and optimal surface finish for light return. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity, and it originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a well regarded source for yellow sapphires with refined hue and tone.

For custom jewelry, this emerald cut sapphire is particularly suitable because of its dimensions and shape, which allow for multiple setting options and design directions. The rectangular outline and proportionate depth support classic solitaire rings that emphasize the step cut geometry, bezel settings that protect the corners without diminishing the clean profile, and halo designs that increase perceived size while maintaining the stone as the focal point. The length to width ratio and the 5.09 mm depth offer a substantial face up area that sits comfortably in ring heads, pendants, and statement earrings, while remaining practical for everyday wear. The very very slightly included clarity grade ensures minimal visible inclusions to the unaided eye, making the stone especially appealing for settings that expose the table and pavilion. Given the excellent polish and the inherent stability of the heat treatment, the sapphire responds well to precision mounting and fine metal work. The Natural Sapphire Company provides full documentation on this gem, including origin and treatment disclosure, and can advise on prong count, setting profile, and mounting options that preserve the stone geometry and protect the corners. In summary, this 3.60 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire combines size, shape, clarity, and finish in a way that makes it an ideal candidate for custom, enduring jewelry designs.
