1.69 ct Yellow Sapphire - Oval

At 1.69 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its yellow color through an oval cut, measuring 7.9 x 6.1 x 4.3 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it. It comes with an independent laboratory certificate.

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 filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
