Origin & Certification
This yellow sapphire originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the island that has supplied the world's finest coloured gemstones for over two millennia. Ceylon yellow sapphires are valued for their pure, saturated yellow hues. Free of the greenish or brownish overtones that can affect stones from other sources.
This stone has been enhanced through traditional heat treatment, a widely accepted practice in the gemstone industry that improves colour saturation and clarity. The Arctic Gem Certification Laboratory (AGCL) has confirmed the treatment on the accompanying certificate, along with the stone's natural origin and colour grade.
