This is a transparent, orangish yellow sapphire, 5.20 carat, presented in a classic emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 10.67 x 7.78 x 6.22 mm, clarity graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a medium intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. The stone is completely natural, with no enhancement, and it comes from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic source renowned for producing some of the world s most coveted sapphires. For a customer who wants provenance, performance, and enduring beauty, the combination of a trusted laboratory report from GIA and the untreated origin of this stone ensures that your investment is authentic, traceable, and ready to become the centerpiece of an important piece of jewelry.

Visually this sapphire offers an exceptional balance of warm color and architectural brilliance that makes it ideal for both modern and classic settings. The emerald cut s clean step facets create broad planes for light to travel across, giving the orangish yellow hue a luminous, honey like glow that shifts gently under different lighting conditions. Because the stone is eye clean, that glow is uninterrupted by visible inclusions, allowing a pure window into the gem s depth of color and internal polish. The medium intense saturation provides strong presence without overpowering, and the excellent polish sharpens every facet edge to produce crisp flashes and elegant reflections rather than a noisy sparkle. At 10.67 x 7.78 mm, the stone has a substantial face up size, making it a commanding solitaire, a refined center for a halo composition, or a stellar focal point in a bespoke commission where the warmth of the orangish yellow tone complements both warm and cool metal choices.

Beyond its immediate visual appeal, this sapphire is built to be admired for generations, and it will continue to captivate over the years. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, ensuring excellent resistance to daily wear and preserving the crisp polish that makes the emerald cut so striking. Because this stone is natural and untreated, its color is stable and unlikely to change with time or exposure, which is an essential quality for anyone seeking an enduring heirloom. Care is straightforward, mild soap and warm water with a soft brush will keep the facets bright, and routine professional inspections will ensure the setting remains secure. For protection and presentation you may prefer a secure four prong or bezel setting, or a custom design from The Natural Sapphire Company s bench that highlights the stone s step cut architecture while safeguarding its edges. With GIA certification confirming its identity and characteristics, and with the craftsmanship possibilities available from The Natural Sapphire Company, this 5.20 carat, emerald cut, orangish yellow sapphire from Ceylon is not only the answer to your immediate search, it is a timeless choice that will reward daily wear and quiet admiration for many years to come.
