1.49 ct Yellow Sapphire - Round

At 1.49 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its yellow color through a round cut, measuring 6.4 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 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. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
