7.17 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a gemstone that feels quietly special, that answers a desire for something elegant yet naturally unique, this moonstone will speak to you. Whether your priority is a one of a kind engagement ring that will stand apart from convention, or a rare specimen to add to a curated collection, the balance of weight, color, and finish in this stone meets those needs with calm confidence. Many clients tell us they want a gem that reads as timeless rather than trendy, something that will age gracefully and complement both minimalist and ornate designs, and this moonstone is crafted by nature to do exactly that. The way it catches light, the subtle grey tones, and the smooth cabochon dome create a presence that is refined without being loud, making it an ideal choice for someone who values quiet luxury and authenticity.

This is one beautiful translucent 7.17 carat round shape grey moonstone, the dimensions are 9.93 x 10.04 x 9.74 mm, the cut is cabochon which highlights the stone s natural adularescence and internal glow, the clarity grade is very slightly included which is evaluated at eye level, the color intensity reads as medium light, and the polish is excellent. There has been no enhancement applied to this stone, it is natural and untreated, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing moonstones with fine translucence and gentle color. Up close you will notice a soft internal sheen that shifts as the stone moves, a silvery to bluish flash against the warm grey body color, and a clean surface finish that speaks to careful cutting and polishing. The cabochon shape maximizes the play of light, creating a rounded luminous dome that works beautifully as a center stone, and the 7.17 carat weight gives this piece a presence that reads impressive on the finger or as a pendant.

For someone planning an engagement ring, this moonstone provides an elegant alternative to traditional diamonds, offering a romantic, vintage inspired look that pairs beautifully with warm metals like yellow gold and rose gold, as well as with cool tones like platinum and white gold. A delicate halo of small melee stones will frame the moonstone and enhance its glow, while a bezel setting will protect the cabochon and emphasize its smooth dome. Collectors will appreciate the untreated nature and Sri Lankan origin, qualities that add provenance and rarity, and this stone will sit well in a cabinet or display, its surface showing depth and movement under different lighting. Designers and bespoke jewelers will find the even dimensions and excellent polish make the stone predictable for setting, and the very slightly included clarity means it remains eye clean while retaining natural character, making it ideal for those who value organic beauty as much as technical quality.
