6.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for the ideal sapphire for an engagement ring, a statement piece, or a carefully chosen addition to a collector cabinet, you want a gem that answers both the heart and the practical needs of everyday wear, clarity and provenance, brilliance and size. This 6.52 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offered by The Natural Sapphire Company meets those needs with confidence. Measuring 11.06 by 9.27 by 7.56 mm, cut as a mixed brilliant to marry scintillation with color delivery, and graded as very slightly included at eye level, this stone reads as transparent and lively to the naked eye. Its vivid color intensity and excellent polish deliver the immediate visual impact that customers tell me they prize, and its heat treated enhancement is a stable, widely accepted practice that enhances the gem without compromising long term durability or beauty.

There are few things more compelling to a customer than a sapphire that sparkles like a jewel and feels like a piece of history on the finger, and this gem echoes the qualities admired in famous sapphires while standing firmly on its own merits. Think of the Logan Sapphire, renowned for its deep cornflower tone and museum presence, and you can appreciate how size and saturation command attention. Our 6.52 carat stone brings a similarly arresting presence to a ring, though in a more wearable and personal scale. Compare it to the Star of India, whose mystique stems from sheer size and a star phenomenon, and you find our sapphire offers a different, more refined kind of allure, transparency and fire rather than an unusual optical effect. Kashmir sapphires from the 19th and early 20th centuries are legendary for their velvety cornflower blue, a tone collectors covet, and while those stones are rare and often priced accordingly, a Ceylon sapphire such as this one delivers a brighter, more electric blue that reads vividly in daylight and under evening light, giving you a lively presence that is both classic and modern.

The mixed brilliant cut of this oval sapphire is a deliberate choice to meet the needs of customers who want maximum brilliance and color performance from a single stone. Mixed brilliant cutting combines pavilion facets geared to reflect light back through the crown, with decorative crown faceting that preserves and amplifies the stone s blue. The result is the lively scintillation you see in the photos, a jewel that flashes with life as your hand moves. At 6.52 carats the gem is substantial enough to be the focal point of a bespoke engagement ring or an exceptional pendant, yet sized for daily wear if mounted with thoughtful settings. The clarity described as very slightly included at eye level is important to note, because it means the stone reads clean and transparent, maintaining the purity of its vivid color and allowing light to travel without obstruction, unlike some historical sapphires that carry strong inclusions or color zoning. The excellent polish further assures you that this gem will present a smooth, mirror like finish that enhances brightness and resale appeal.

Choosing a sapphire is both an emotional decision and an investment in craftsmanship, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands beside you through that choice. The origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka links this gem to a long lineage of celebrated sapphires that have been cherished by royalty and collectors, and heat treatment has been used responsibly to bring out its best color while maintaining structural stability. What makes this particular sapphire uniquely valuable is the synthesis of attributes that customers consistently ask for, its vivid, electric Ceylon blue that competes with the drama of museum quality stones, its transparent clarity that keeps light alive within the gem, and its mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes brilliance with color. If you are looking for a center stone that concludes your search with confidence, whether for a once in a lifetime engagement ring, a family heirloom in the making, or an eye catching gallery stone, this sapphire embodies the balance of beauty, provenance and practicality that discerning buyers seek, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to assist you with setting options, certification details, and personalized service to ensure this stone becomes the perfect, lasting expression of your choice.
