4.20 Carat Vivid Yellow Sapphire
Natural · Clean · Very Well Made Oval Cut
This exceptional natural yellow sapphire combines three qualities that are especially compelling to collectors: intense color, clean clarity, and a well-proportioned cut at more than four carats.
Its primary color is described as vivid slightly orangish yellow, producing a rich, saturated appearance with flashes of golden yellow, amber, and warm citrus. The subtle orange influence adds depth and character, distinguishing the stone from lighter or more commercially common yellow sapphires. Its color is energetic and immediately noticeable, giving the gemstone a strong visual identity both at rest and in motion.
Weighing 4.20 carats, the sapphire has substantial collector presence. Its balanced oval outline and mixed cutting style create a classic appearance while preserving the stone’s individual personality. The report assigns Very Good grades for both symmetry and proportions, with an overall assessment of Very Well Made—an important distinction for a gemstone of this size and depth.
The sapphire is graded Very Slightly Included, resulting in an attractively clean face-up appearance. This clarity allows its vibrant color and internal brilliance to remain the dominant visual features, without distracting inclusions competing for attention.
Most significantly, stone has great life to it. Its strong cutting are considerably more difficult to find than routine material. The combination of vivid color, size, transparency, and proportion gives this stone particularly strong desirability as a standalone collectible.
Why Otzera Selected It

Its vivid color is unusually expressive, while the clean clarity and balanced proportions allow that color to be appreciated without compromise.
