A 1.81 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire in a Radiant Cut, natural and unheated — the golden hue is produced by trace iron in the crystal without any thermal modification. Ceylon is the historic source of fine unheated yellow sapphires, prized particularly for Jyotish (Vedic astrology) applications where an untreated natural stone is the traditional requirement. This stone also passed GIA's color stability test. Accompanied by GIA Sapphire Origin Report #1242017778.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"What stands out on this stone is the combination of a fully unheated GIA report and a passed color stability test — that second detail is not something GIA notes on every sapphire, and it means the vivid yellow you see today is confirmed to hold up under light exposure."
Rarity Analysis
A few factors make this specific stone less common than the average yellow sapphire on the market:
-
Color: A vivid, strong yellow saturation — the hue most sought after in yellow sapphire, rather than the pale or brownish-yellow tones more commonly seen.
-
Size: At 1.81 carats, this stone is large enough to read clearly face-up in a ring while remaining well above the sub-1-carat sizes that dominate the unheated yellow sapphire market.
-
Treatment: Fully unheated, confirmed by GIA — the majority of yellow sapphires sold today are heat-treated to improve or deepen color, making an unheated stone of this saturation the minority.
-
Clarity: Minor inclusions under 10× and eye-clean — our own assessment, not a GIA grade — which keeps the stone's brilliance unobstructed under the Radiant Cut's faceting.
-
Documentation: Backed by a GIA Sapphire Origin Report confirming Sri Lanka (Ceylon) origin, unheated status, and a passed color stability test — three separate findings on one report.
-
Combined effect: An unheated, GIA-documented, eye-clean Ceylon yellow sapphire with a vivid saturation and a passed color stability test is a meaningfully uncommon combination, particularly for buyers who require untreated stones for Jyotish use.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
View it in both daylight and warm indoor lighting. Yellow sapphires can read slightly differently between light sources, though this stone's GIA-confirmed color stability means the hue you see is not going to shift or fade over time.
-
Plan the setting around its 7.53 × 4.92 × 4.90 mm Radiant Cut outline. The cornered rectangular shape benefits from prongs or a setting style that protects the corners, similar to an emerald or cushion cut.
-
If comparison-shopping other yellow sapphires, ask specifically for the treatment disclosure on the lab report. Many yellow sapphires marketed as natural are heat-treated; this stone's GIA report states unheated in writing.
-
Factor in the documentation when comparing price. As outlined in the Rarity Analysis above, unheated Ceylon yellow sapphires with a GIA Origin Report and a passed color stability test are not the norm, which affects availability at this quality level.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.
