1.33 ct Yellow Sapphire - Round

At 1.33 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its yellow color through a round cut, measuring 5.9 x 4.4 mm.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire pairs deep color with a hardness that makes it one of the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. Sri Lanka's gravels are read by miners whose skill is generational, and a stone that reaches the cutter has already beaten long odds. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
