6.13 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 6.13 carat radiant shape yellow sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, brings together classic gemological virtues with a modern sensibility, making it an exceptional choice for connoisseurs who appreciate both history and value. At 12.45 x 10.18 x 5.53 mm, the stone presents a generous face up area, and the radiant cut has been expertly faceted to maximize brilliance and table presence, comparable to how the Logan Sapphire commands the eye with its impressive surface. Unlike louder yellow diamonds that trade off intensity for rarity, this Sri Lankan yellow sapphire delivers a refined, very light color intensity that reads as elegant and wearable, more akin to the subtle golden tones admired in historic yellow gemstones rather than the saturated tones of citrine or yellow topaz. The clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which is typical for natural sapphires of this size, and those inclusions add character without compromising transparency, much like the trace features that authenticate storied gems such as the Star of India. Heat treatment enhancement is disclosed and standard in the trade, used to optimize color and clarity while preserving natural origin, and the gem benefits from an excellent polish that enhances light return and gives the pavilion and crown crisp, lively reflections.

When comparing this sapphire to famous gemstones in history, its strength lies in its balance of weight, cut quality, and provenance. The Logan Sapphire is celebrated for its size and clean blue, the Stuart stones are noted for royal provenance, and the Hope Diamond for its dramatic presence. This Ceylon yellow sapphire offers a different kind of prestige, rooted in Ceylonese tradition, superb cutting, and practical versatility. For someone seeking a statement piece that is more wearable day to day than a large colored diamond, but more noble and durable than quartz alternatives, this sapphire stands out. Its radiant cut modernizes the stone in the same way that historic gems were recut into more contemporary shapes to improve wearability, and the excellent polish ensures it will sit beautifully in a fine ring, pendant, or bespoke setting. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparency, documented origin, and superior craftsmanship, and this 6.13 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire exemplifies that commitment, offering a unique blend of historical resonance, practical elegance, and enduring value.
