Many buyers tell us they want a gem that reads as luxurious at first glance, but that also rewards close inspection and daily wear with enduring beauty and confidence. This sapphire meets that brief, offering a compelling combination of weight and presence, refined cut work, and a rich Ceylon heritage that immediately reassures the discerning buyer that their quest for an exceptional stone ends here. Whether you imagine a classic solitaire, an intricate vintage inspired setting, or a contemporary bezel design, this gem becomes the focal point that elevates the entire piece, while promising to carry stories and intentions through every moment it is worn.

At 7.05 carat with dimensions of 11.99 x 8.90 x 6.96 mm, this cushion shape sapphire has been expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and depth of color. The mixed brilliant cutting pattern allows the pavilion and crown facets to work together, producing lively flashes of light and a velvety play of blue that draws the eye. The stone is transparent and graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a clarity characteristic that means to the unaided eye the gem reads very clean, while minor internal features add the natural fingerprint that collectors appreciate. The color has been assessed as intense, an evocative Ceylon blue that leans toward a vivid pure blue that remains luminous in daylight and electric under artificial light. The polish is excellent, every facet meeting smoothly so that reflections run across the surface without interruption, and the gem has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that enhances clarity and color while preserving natural origin and character from Ceylon Sri Lanka.

Consider how the stone’s flawless execution enhances its beauty from every angle, starting with face up appearance. The cushion outline delivers broad table reflection, allowing the intense blue to saturate the view when you look down at the stone, while the mixed brilliant facet arrangement breaks light into lively scintillation at slight tilts and movement. From the pavilion view the facet junctions show consistent symmetry, guiding light back into the crown and creating depth that invites the eye to travel inward. The excellent polish ensures that each facet edge is crisp and clean, so highlights remain crisp and the gem appears wet with color rather than merely painted. Because the sapphire is transparent and very slightly included, it captures and returns light with clarity, so even in lower light the stone holds its blue presence without becoming murky or dull. In practical terms this means the gem will read as vibrantly alive on the finger, in a pendant, or as a display specimen, offering both dramatic first impressions and rewarding close examination, which is exactly what collectors and those designing a once in a lifetime ring want.

When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are acquiring more than a beautiful color and ideal proportions, you are selecting a gem that is ready to become a lifelong treasure. Its size and cushion shape provide substantial finger presence without overwhelming most designs, and the stone’s structural integrity as corundum makes it well suited to daily wear, retaining polish and resisting abrasion under normal conditions. Our team of gem specialists can advise on settings that protect the pavilion while allowing maximum light performance, and we offer bespoke design guidance so you can pair this 7.05 carat Ceylon sapphire with metal and side stones that enhance its intense blue and luminous personality. For the collector who values provenance, we document the stone’s origin as Ceylon Sri Lanka, and we are transparent about its heat treatment which is stable and industry standard.
