7.20 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

A gemstone of this scale and presence is rarely encountered, and this 7.20 carat oval yellowish orange sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) stands apart with confident elegance. Measuring 11.96 × 8.99 × 8.09 mm, the sapphire’s generous proportions are beautifully balanced by a refined oval silhouette that flatters the hand while enhancing brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to maximize light return, creating lively flashes and depth, while an excellent polish sharpens facet definition and surface brightness. Evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance, the clarity allows the sapphire’s intense color and transparency to take full focus without distraction.

The color displays a captivating blend of golden yellow and rich orange, shifting subtly with movement and light. This dynamic hue gives the stone a vibrant, living presence—bold yet refined, radiant without excess. Exceptional transparency allows light to travel deeply through the gem and return as vivid scintillation, giving the sapphire a glowing core of warmth and energy.

This sapphire has undergone heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines natural color and clarity while preserving the integrity of the stone. Its Ceylon origin adds important distinction, as Sri Lanka is historically admired for producing sapphires with lively color, fine transparency, and enduring desirability. Durable, rare, and visually commanding, this 7.20 carat Ceylon sapphire is ideally suited for a statement ring or bespoke heirloom design. Carefully selected and presented by Srilon Gems, it represents a powerful combination of size, color, craftsmanship, and provenance, destined to be admired for generations.
