26.80 Ct Natural Unheated Yellow Sapphire — Sri Lanka
At 26.80 carats, this sapphire is cut as a large oval (18.51 x 14.90 x 11.42mm) with a modified brilliant/step facet pattern, and shows a vivid, saturated yellow that stays bright and even across the entire stone. A sapphire of this size in a strong, pure yellow — without any heat treatment — is genuinely exceptional, sitting at the intersection of scale, color, and rarity that serious collectors look for.
Most yellow sapphire on the market has been heat-treated to achieve or intensify its color, so an unheated stone approaching 27 carats represents a small fraction of what reaches the market. Sourced from Sri Lanka, long recognized for producing some of the finest yellow sapphires in the world, this stone carries strong provenance alongside its impressive size.
Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, ensuring this piece will remain a durable centerpiece for generations, whether set as a ring, pendant, or kept as a collector specimen.
