7.35 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a truly exceptional sapphire that will end your quest, this 7.35 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Ceylon is the answer you have been waiting for, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it. This gem measures 10.79 x 9.89 x 7.76 mm, a generous size that reads beautifully on the finger while maintaining elegant proportions. The mixed brilliant cut brings contemporary sparkle together with classic cushion proportions, creating a balance that flatters many settings, from a timeless solitaire to a modern halo. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, the clarity is practically flawless to the naked eye, making the gem appear pure and vivid when viewed in typical wear conditions. With intense color intensity and an excellent polish, the surface and color saturations are in full harmony, and the stone has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that brings out the most desirable blue tones while preserving the sapphire s natural durability. If your need is for an engagement ring that will stop people in their tracks, or a rare collector s piece that combines provenance and visual power, this sapphire answers that need precisely, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its quality and origin.

The reason this sapphire sparkles with a quality that feels unmatched lies first in its crystalline nature and then in the thoughtful cutting of those crystals. Sapphires are a form of corundum, aluminum oxide Al2O3, and that mineral structure gives them a refractive index higher than most gemstones, which means light bends and reflects inside the stone in ways that produce intense return and lively brilliance. The trigonal crystal system of corundum, combined with the presence of trace elements that create blue color, also produces pleochroism, so the gem can show slightly different blue tones when turned just a few degrees. The mixed brilliant cut magnifies these natural optical properties by combining a faceted pavilion that maximizes internal reflection with a brilliant style crown that scatters light back to the eye in scintillating flashes. The cushion shape supports broader facet surfaces that showcase color and depth, while the brilliant facets create the lively pinpoint flashes that we think of as sparkle. The result is a dynamic interplay of deep, intense blue color and sparkling light return, a combination that reads as both powerful and refined when the gem is set and worn.

Beyond the science of light and form, the sensory experience of this sapphire is what will make your search feel concluded. The intense color intensity gives the stone a rich, saturated blue that appears to glow from within, a signature quality of fine Ceylon sapphires that collectors and romantics alike prize. The excellent polish means that those surfaces are finished to a high sheen, improving light passage and preventing surface haze that can dull brilliance. The very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level means the stone will appear clean in typical viewing conditions, yet it retains the natural character that collectors respect. At 7.35 carats and with dimensions of 10.79 x 9.89 x 7.76 mm, this sapphire has presence without feeling oversized, which is ideal for someone who wants a statement piece that remains wearable every day. The heat treatment applied is standard practice, performed to enhance color stability and uniformity, and when conducted correctly it does not compromise the long term durability or beauty of the gem. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the heritage of a region famed for luminous, velvety blues, adding provenance and story to its intrinsic visual appeal. When you choose this gem through The Natural Sapphire Company, you are choosing a combination of natural beauty, careful cutting, and reputable sourcing.

To complete your decision and to ensure the sapphire becomes exactly what you need, consider how it will be set and cared for, and rely on The Natural Sapphire Company for guidance. Corundum rates nine on the Mohs scale, making this sapphire exceptionally durable and suitable for daily wear in engagement settings, while still requiring sensible care, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock. Routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the facets bright, and professional inspections of the setting will preserve security and beauty over the years. If you seek a ring design that emphasizes the cushion s classic silhouette, a low bezel or four prong setting will show the gem s face clearly, while a halo will amplify its presence and make the color read even more intense. For collectors who appreciate the provenance and structure, this Ceylon sapphire delivers a combination of crystal purity, cutting expertise, and visual drama that fits perfectly into a curated collection.
