3.65 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.65 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire measures 9.76 by 7.89 by 5.03 millimeters, and presents a transparent body tone with very light color intensity, a mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish. Unlike many commercially available sapphires that are heat treated to deepen color, this gem from Ceylon Sri Lanka is entirely unenhanced, which places it in a special category for collectors and connoisseurs who value natural state stones. When compared to famous historical gems, it carries its own distinct virtues, it does not compete with the deep blue fame of the Star of India or the legendary depth of Kashmir blues, yet it offers an understated radiance more akin to the refined presence of notable yellow gemstones such as the Tiffany Yellow Diamond, while remaining far more accessible in price and far more wearable for daily jewelry. The very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level means it reads as eye clean, which combined with the mixed brilliant cut creates lively scintillation and a diamond like flash without sacrificing the warm, sunny hue that distinguishes yellow sapphires.

Against the backdrop of history, this Ceylon yellow sapphire stands out for provenance and integrity, Sri Lankan sapphires have adorned crowns and collections for centuries, but few present this combination of carat weight, cushion proportions, and absence of enhancement. Where the Koh i Noor and other historic gems are celebrated for story and color intensity, this sapphire delivers practical superiority for modern use, it is large enough at 3.65 carats to command presence in an engagement ring or statement piece, yet its very light tone offers versatility with many metal choices, and its excellent polish optimizes light return for daily wear. For buyers weighing diamonds against colored stones, this sapphire gives impressive visual impact per carat, and because it is unenhanced its long term value and appeal are more reliable than many treated alternatives on the market. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select and present gems like this to offer authentic, museum quality character without the inflated story premium, this yellow sapphire is a rare blend of history rich origin, uncompromised natural beauty, and practical brilliance, an ideal choice for someone seeking a distinctive heirloom that is both superior in value and uniquely luminous.
