1.68 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

This beautifully transparent 1.68 carat pear shape yellowish orange sapphire originates from the renowned gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with lively saturation and natural warmth. The gemstone measures 8.31 × 5.77 × 4.59 mm and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, designed to balance strong light return with rich color presentation. Evaluated as Loupe clean at normal viewing distance, the sapphire offers excellent transparency, allowing its internal brilliance and color to be appreciated without distraction. Excellent polish gives the stone crisp facet junctions and refined surface quality, enhancing contrast and scintillation.

The mixed brilliant cut has been carefully executed to optimize optical performance for a pear outline, allowing light to enter efficiently through the crown and return through the pavilion in lively flashes. Pavilion facets act as reflective mirrors, producing dynamic sparkle in motion while maintaining a pleasing face-up color. The girdle and pear tip are well proportioned, supporting both durability and consistent light behavior. Color is described as yellowish orange with medium intensity, displaying a bright, sunny appearance in daylight and a richer, warmer orange tone under incandescent lighting. This sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves color without compromising durability or integrity.

Selected by SriLon Gems, this Ceylon sapphire is well suited for fine jewelry, including elegant solitaires and classic pendant designs. Its balanced cut, attractive color, and sapphire durability make it an excellent choice for everyday wear and long-term enjoyment.
