6.05 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this honeyed heart of light, a transparent yellow sapphire weighing 6.05 carat, a cushion shape dream measuring 11.86 x 8.43 x 6.21 mm, offered with the quiet assurance of The Natural Sapphire Company. Its medium intense yellow color bathes the eye in the first warm hour of morning, a softened blaze that recalls sun soaked silk and the hush of dawn over Ceylon, Sri Lanka, the storied origin of this stone. The mixed brilliant cut given to this gem is a thoughtful marriage of old world charm and modern brilliance, a geometry of facets that cradles the yellow warmth and lets it breathe. The clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as pure to the gaze, its minor characteristics adding character rather than distraction. With heat treated enhancement to deepen and stabilize its glow, and an excellent polish that renders every facet like a tiny mirror, this sapphire feels like a fragment of warm light, ready to be set into a memory.

The mixed brilliant cut is the secret architecture of its radiance, a choreography of step and brilliant facets that captures light and scatters it into soft, persuasive fire. The cushion outline gives the pavilion generous depth, allowing light to enter, be refracted, and then returned with a luminous sincerity, while the mixed cutting style aligns crown facets to disperse sparkle across the table and along the softened corners. Where a pure step cut might emphasize color and a pure brilliant cut might maximize scintillation, the mixed brilliant cut harmonizes both, drawing the medium intense yellow into both glow and glitter. The excellent polish elevates each plane to perfection, removing microscopic friction so that light moves freely from facet to facet, producing flashes that dance with the rhythm of movement. The very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level ensures that this dance remains uninterrupted to most viewers, the inclusions acting as tiny fingerprints of the earth, intimate marks that speak of natural origin rather than flaws. Heat treated in the controlled hands of skilled artisans, the sapphire reveals a balanced saturation that reads as sunlight held, not light forced.

Imagine this cushion yellow sapphire cradled in a setting of warm gold, a halo of subtle diamonds, or a bespoke embrace of satin platinum, each option yielding a different mood, each choice a poem. When worn, the stone becomes a living chronicle, catching passing light and returning it as a soft benediction, as if the wearer carries an endless sunrise on their hand. At 11.86 x 8.43 x 6.21 mm and a substantial 6.05 carat, the gem has presence without arrogance, a perfect companion to vows, anniversaries, or the private celebration of a milestone. Provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka adds a lineage of elegance, an echo of ancient mines and careful selection, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands as a steward of that heritage, offering not just a gem, but a narrative of craft, care, and authenticity. If you seek a piece that melds technical excellence with emotional resonance, a cushion shaped, mixed brilliant cut yellow sapphire with medium intense color, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, and heat treated enhancement, this stone awaits to become the center of your story.
