4.03 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 4.03 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire measures 9.37 x 8.64 x 5.21 mm, and has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to balance lively scintillation with an elegant, slightly vintage face up appearance. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which for a stone of this size means it presents as effectively eye clean to most viewers while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its authenticity. Color is described as intense in intensity, giving a vivid and saturated yellow that reads confidently in both daylight and evening lighting. The polish is excellent, ensuring strong light return from the crown and pavilion, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a designation that commands a premium among knowledgeable buyers. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source for high quality sapphires, known for well formed crystals and a warm, lively color palette that is highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs.

For an engagement ring this sapphire is an exceptional choice, marrying presence with everyday durability, corundum being 9 on the Mohs scale which makes it highly resistant to scratching and suitable for regular wear. At just over four carats the cushion shape offers a very wearable statement size that sits beautifully in solitaire, halo, or three stone settings, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes sparkle while preserving a soft cushion outline that flatters the hand. The combination of intense natural color, eye level clarity, excellent polish, and untreated origin from Ceylon provides both aesthetic impact and provenance, features that educated buyers look for when selecting a lifetime jewel. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select and present stones to exacting standards, and we can assist with gemological reporting and bespoke mounting options to create an engagement piece that highlights the stone’s strengths. This untouched Ceylon yellow sapphire is ideal for someone seeking a distinctive, durable, and verifiably natural center stone that will both shine and hold its appeal for generations.
