7.04 Ct. Yellow Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 7.04 carat yellow sapphire is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company with precise dimensions of 18.30 x 7.89 x 7.18 mm, offering a substantial presence suited to a statement engagement ring. The stone is cut in a rough crystal style that retains the directional character of the original crystal, resulting in an elongated, various shaped, double terminated silhouette. Faceting is restrained and deliberate, following natural crystal planes rather than converting the material into a conventionally faceted outline, which preserves weight and yields a raw yet refined optical personality. The material is semi translucent, with a medium intense yellow color grade that reads as warm golden in direct light and reveals subtle olive leaning tones in softer illumination, offering depth without overpowering brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that sit within the body of the stone and contribute to its natural character, rather than detracting from structural integrity. The polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions where the cutter defined surfaces, and no enhancement has been applied, assuring the gem is wholly natural from its Ceylon Sri Lanka origin.

For an engagement piece this sapphire is an exceptional choice for a client seeking a non traditional yet technically superior center stone, it balances organic form with gemological quality. The rough crystal cut and elongated profile invite bespoke mounting approaches, such as a protected bezel that follows the double terminated tips, or a custom east west bar setting that emphasizes the stone length while securing vulnerable points. Prong settings that cradle each termination can highlight the raw symmetry while preserving daily wearability. As corundum, sapphire offers excellent hardness and durability for long term use, and the absence of treatment enhances long term value and authenticity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend viewing the gem under both daylight and warm indoor lighting to appreciate the full range of its medium intense color, and we offer in house design consultation to translate the stone geometry into a secure, elegant engagement setting that respects the rough crystal aesthetic while delivering the polish and finish expected in fine jewelry.
