5.00 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 5.00 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire, certified by C.Dunaigre, arrives from the storied mines of Ceylon, present day Sri Lanka, carrying with it the quiet authority of centuries. Its faceted mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish allow a warm golden light to radiate from within, a light that recalls the candlelit courts and sunlit temples where sapphires were once prized as talismans and tokens of lineage. The gem measures 9.79 x 9.31 x 6.03 mm, an ample size that commands attention without losing the refined balance of a classical design. With a medium color intensity and a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, this transparent sapphire offers both the visual purity and the subtle character that collectors and connoisseurs have long sought. Heat treated to enhance its enduring beauty, this Ceylon sapphire remains a testament to nature and to the traditional lapidary arts, a piece that will sit comfortably in an heirloom setting or a contemporary museum quality collection.

Because of its generous dimensions and superior transparency, this cushion sapphire is especially well suited to a statement piece, where size and clarity work together to create an evocative presence. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and depth, so whether mounted as a single solitaire ring, a pendant that rests against the bosom, or set within a halo to amplify its glow, the stone reads clearly at a distance and draws viewers closer for the reward of close inspection. Its excellent polish ensures the surface is flawless to the touch, while the very very slightly included clarity provides natural authenticity that seasoned collectors appreciate. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with the confidence of provenance and expertise, offering a rare opportunity to own a classic Ceylon sapphire that bridges history and modernity.
