3.97 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the lush alluvial terraces of Ceylon Sri Lanka a single crystal began its journey, born in riverbeds that have yielded the world’s most celebrated sapphires for centuries. Skilled hands extracted the rough stone with respect for the land, and under the patient light of a gemmologist’s loupe its promise was revealed. Heat treated with precision to awaken its inherent hue, this transparent yellow sapphire emerged with a vivid color intensity that is the signature of exceptional Ceylon material. At 3.97 carat and measuring 9.53 by 9.49 by 5.41 mm the crystal was entrusted to master cutters who shaped it into a round mixed brilliant cut designed to marry scintillation with depth. The artisan’s choices revealed a gem with very very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that allows each facet to sing. Every stage of this transformation was guided by a devotion to purity of form and fidelity to provenance, culminating in a stone that glows like captured sunlight.
