7.34 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

To own this 7.34 carat cushion shape blue sapphire is to claim a rare and unmistakable statement of refined taste and discerning success, a jewel that announces itself without apology, quiet yet impossible to ignore. Fashioned in a sugar loaf cut that melds classical poise with artisanal boldness, this stone measures 10.38 x 9.97 x 7.33 mm, a generous presence that wears both as a solitary signet and as the centerpiece of a bespoke setting. The transparency and vivid color intensity of the cornflower to royal blue body are complemented by an excellent polish that catches light with a satin like glow, while an assessment of very slightly included at eye level confirms a clarity that rewards the most exacting standards of connoisseurship. Heat treated to enhance tone and depth, this sapphire comes from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that has long been associated with the most sought after blue sapphires in history, an origin that adds provenance and pedigree to the ownership experience, and The Natural Sapphire Company is privileged to present this exceptional stone to collectors who demand provenance as much as perfection.

The secret of this sapphire elusive, complex, irresistible, is its internal architecture. As a variety of corundum, its crystalline lattice and naturally high refractive index act like a precision instrument for light, bending and trapping photons in a way that produces a depth of color and scintillation that few other gems can approach. The sugar loaf faceting strategy amplifies this physics, creating broad planes that reflect lustre back through the crown and into the eye, while the pavilion and rounded shoulders channel flashes of brighter blue, giving the impression of movement within a solid, luminous heart. The modest, carefully placed inclusions serve to break and scatter light subtly, adding life rather than diminishing brilliance, while the superior polish ensures every facet edge is a mirror, increasing contrast and the perception of inner fire. For the collector or client seeking a jewel that embodies heritage, technical excellence, and unassailable beauty, this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is more than a gem, it is an emblem of achievement, a piece to be passed on, admired, and worn with the certainty that its sparkle is truly unmatched.
