9.13 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that hold the warmth of sunrise within their heart, and this cushion shaped yellow sapphire is such a treasure. At 9.13 carat, with precise dimensions of 12.44 x 11.99 x 6.25 mm, it sits like a small orb of daylight, a jewel that seems to glow from within. Cut as a mixed brilliant cushion, each facet is arranged to catch and fold light into sweet, golden ribbons, the excellent polish giving every plane a glass like clarity. Transparent and unaltered, this sapphire bears no enhancements, it is natural and honest in tone and texture, its medium intense yellow speaking of lemon light and honeyed afternoons. The clarity is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, allowing the gem to read as pure and open to the soul, and its origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka lends a storied provenance that echoes plantations of gem hunters and ancient trade routes. Certified by C.Dunaigre, this stone arrives to you with proof of its identity and integrity, and with The Natural Sapphire Company as its custodian, it is offered with the kind of care that honors both history and hope.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire is built for a life that moves, loves, and remembers, for it carries the enduring strength of corundum. Scoring nine on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, it resists scratches and daily knocks that would soften lesser stones, making it an excellent choice for a ring that is worn every day, for a pendant that rests against the heart, for a pair of studs that catch light with each glance. Its mixed brilliant cut not only transforms light into sparkling emotion, it also gives structural resilience to the gem, the facets and crown working together to disperse impact and to minimize the visibility of minor abrasions over years of wear. With an excellent polish, the surface is smooth and resistant to the surface nicks that dull lesser finishes, and because this stone is free of enhancements, its stability under light and gentle heat is natural and predictable. For those who choose to set this gem in an engagement ring or a piece destined for daily wear, a secure setting such as a low profile bezel or well constructed prongs will further protect the pavilion and culet while showcasing the cushion shape and golden color to full advantage, and routine gentle cleaning with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush will keep its sparkle true without risk.

To hold this sapphire is to hold a small sun that is also a promise, a memory ready to be made luminous. The medium intense yellow is wonderfully versatile, pairing with warm yellow gold for a vintage romance, with soft rose gold for a blush of timeless intimacy, or with cool white gold or platinum when you wish for contrast that sharpens the light. Imagine it set at the center of a halo of tiny brilliant accents, each one a star that amplifies its warmth, or imagine it alone upon a slender band, solitary and sovereign, capturing every glance with uncomplicated grace. Because this is an honest gem of Ceylon origin, certified by C.Dunaigre and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, you are choosing not only for beauty, but for provenance, craftsmanship, and ethical stewardship. Let this yellow sapphire accompany daily rituals and evening vows, let it grow familiar against skin and memory, and let its durability be the quiet promise that what you wear each day may also last through the years. If you seek a stone that combines romance, resilience, and the rare pleasure of a natural, unenhanced color, this cushion shaped yellow sapphire is a radiant invitation, a sunlit companion for every day and every dream.
