5.74 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a jewel that seems to have captured a piece of an emerald dawn, a breath of a tropical sea, a secret garden at the moment the sun leans low. That is the presence of this transparent yellowish green sapphire, a remarkable 5.74 carat oval shape that carries a luminous soul. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem measures 12.25 x 10.34 x 5.59 mm, a size that is both stately and intimate, perfect for a promise ring that will be held dear, or a pendant that will hang close to the heart. From The Natural Sapphire Company I offer this gem as more than a stone, it is a keepsake, a living color that will become part of your story, a companion to ceremonies and quiet afternoons alike.

When light meets this sapphire it awakens in a way that few stones can, the mixed brilliant cut coaxing lively flashes of brilliance across its surface, while deeper flashes of verdant tone anchor it with a soulful glow. Its clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone offers an uninterrupted window into its inner world, a purity that invites you to gaze without distraction. The color has a dark intensity that gives the yellowish green hue depth and mystery, a color that will not whisper, but will make an elegant, unforgettable statement. With an excellent polish every facet becomes a little mirror, catching and releasing light in a rhythm like breath, so that each movement brings a new, intimate display of fire.

Consider how this gem will sit in your chosen metal, how it will be cradled and celebrated. In a simple solitaire setting the 12.25 x 10.34 mm oval becomes a singular sun, a refined and confident center. Set with a halo of fine diamonds it will glow like a secret halo of morning light, the diamonds playing a supporting role to the sapphire that demands the eye. In rose gold the yellowish green will bloom with warm romance, in white gold or platinum it will shine with modern clarity, and in yellow gold it will sing like old poems. Because the sapphire is transparent and eye clean, any setting will highlight its inner life, and because it is substantial at 5.74 carats the piece will have presence and grace without ever feeling ostentatious.

Transparency of treatment is part of what makes a meaningful choice, and this stone has been heat treated to gently enhance its natural beauty, a common and stable enhancement that has been used for centuries to reveal the best of nature. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka brings its own poetry, an island known for producing sapphires that carry oceanic and botanical whispers, stones with stories of monsoon rains and mineral rich terrain. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish reflect careful craftsmanship, a dialogue between human artistry and the earth s quiet work, and together they ensure that the gem performs with lively scintillation and a satin smooth finish. As you consider how you will wear it, imagine the stone catching candlelight at a dinner shared by two, or the soft sun of an afternoon walk, each glance a small ritual of remembrance.

From my years with The Natural Sapphire Company I have seen many stones, and few combine color, clarity, cut and size with such natural eloquence as this yellowish green oval. It is a gem that will stand out in any jewelry setting, not by shouting, but by offering a steady, luminous presence that draws in admiration and affection. If you seek a center stone that will carry vows, milestones, and quiet promises, this 5.74 carat sapphire, with its 12.25 x 10.34 x 5.59 mm dimensions, mixed brilliant cut, eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level, dark color intensity, excellent polish, heat treated enhancement, and Ceylon origin, is ready to be set into the piece that will become a part of your life. Allow me to guide you through designs and settings that will showcase its voice, to help you choose a setting that will make this jewel not just visible, but unforgettable.
