7.32 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that tell stories of continents and courts, stones that have traveled along ancient trade routes and been prized by kings and collectors, and then there are rarities that embody a lineage of taste and craft. This blue sapphire, born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, belongs to that second class of treasures. Ceylon sapphires have been admired for centuries for their clarity and luminous tone, appearing in royal regalia and historic jewels, admired during the age of sail and carried forward into modern collections. The language of tradition suits this gem, because its presence evokes a continuity of elegance and refinement, a connection to the past that remains utterly wearable today. As a piece offered by The Natural Sapphire Company it arrives not as a fleeting fashion item, but as an heirloom in waiting, a gem that can mark milestones and be passed down with the dignity of history.

Measured and masterfully cut, this transparent 7.32 carat blue sapphire has been fashioned in an emerald cut that emphasizes its clarity and precise geometry, a form more commonly associated with diamonds and thus particularly striking in a sapphire of this size. Its dimensions of 11.15 by 9.20 by 6.88 mm give it a commanding presence without forfeiting refinement, allowing it to sit elegantly in a ring or pendant while displaying broad, calm facets that reflect light with a cultured shimmer. At the eye level it is graded very slightly included, a clarity that preserves a natural authenticity while remaining visually exceptional, and its polish has been graded excellent, offering a finely finished surface that enhances both brilliance and touch. The color is vivid in intensity, a rich blue that captures both the deep ocean and the clear midday sky, a hue that is notably rare in sapphires of this carat weight and cut, and its transparency allows the color to remain pure and alive across the table.

Rarity is the defining quality of this stone, both in size and in color, when compared to typical offerings in the market. Large sapphires that combine an emerald cut with a vivid Ceylon blue are uncommon, as cutters must balance the desire for size with the need to preserve color and clarity, a task that becomes exponentially more challenging with sapphires above five carats. Many sapphires of similar carat weight trend toward softer tones or more included material, or they are found in shapes that mask the stone s inner purity. This sapphire stands apart because its vivid hue is evenly saturated without the brown or gray modifiers often seen in larger specimens, and because its clarity and dimensions allow its color to play freely across broad facets, producing a depth and liveliness that is as rare as it is beautiful. For collectors and those who prize legacy pieces, a stone such as this represents an intersection of aesthetic perfection and scarcity, a gem that answers both the eye and the sensibility of tradition.

The craftsmanship and ethical provenance behind this sapphire further reinforce its timeless appeal. Heat treated enhancement has been applied, a long established and accepted practice that stabilizes and intensifies the color, a method used by artisans for generations to reveal the finest potential of a rough crystal. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and evaluates each gem with a commitment to transparency and to the principles of responsible supply, ensuring that this Ceylon gem is accompanied by clear documentation of origin and treatment. When set, its emerald cut invites classic settings that emphasize line and symmetry, settings that mirror the gem s dignified geometry and ensure its longevity. Sapphire s inherent hardness makes it an ideal candidate for daily wear, allowing a piece designed today to remain unscarred through decades of use, thus becoming a true family heirloom. The excellent polish and precise facets are tangible evidence of skilled cutting, a dialogue between rough and cutter that honors the stone s natural character.

To own this 7.32 carat emerald cut Ceylon blue sapphire is to claim a piece of a long and luminous story, a jewel that is at once a meditation on history and a practical choice for modern life. Whether destined for a bespoke engagement ring that will be treasured across generations, a statement pendant that speaks in the understated voice of tradition, or a carefully curated collection that values rarity and provenance, this stone makes a profound statement. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to view this gem in person, to feel the cool weight of its form and to see how its vivid color changes with the light, and to discuss settings and certification that will secure its place in your legacy. In a world where fashion moves quickly, this sapphire offers an enduring alternative, a rare and resonant piece that will continue to speak of lineage, taste, and timeless beauty.
