1.00 ct Yellow Sapphire - Round

At 1 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its yellow color through a round cut, measuring 4.7 x 2.9 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Sri Lankan sapphire is hand-picked from river gravels worked for two thousand years, and the island's signature is bright, glassy color with high transparency. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
