2.70 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This sapphire is a 2.70 carat, transparent, cushion shaped bluish purple gem, presented with precise dimensions of 9.20 x 7.09 x 4.20 mm. The cutting style is a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that balances table facet brilliance with pavilion sparkle to maximize face up presence and light return. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which allows the gem to read as visually pristine while retaining natural character. The polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and smooth surfaces that enhance luster and optical performance. Importantly, this stone has no enhancement, a detail that speaks to its natural state and intrinsic value. The origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long respected for producing sapphires with a distinct clarity and tonal range. These technical attributes describe a gem that combines careful cutting, natural transparency, and measured proportions to offer a finely balanced presentation suitable for refined jewelry settings.

The bluish purple color of this sapphire is expressed with medium color intensity, delivering a tone that is simultaneously restrained and striking. The hue blends cooler blue notes with a subtle purple overtone, creating a versatile color that can read as serene or assertive depending on surrounding metals and lighting. In daylight the sapphire exhibits an open, clear face up appearance with a tonal saturation that suggests depth without overpowering. Under warmer light the purple component becomes more perceptible, adding richness and a sense of complexity. This interplay of color and light positions the stone as a symbol of personal power and distinction, offering a visual language that is confident rather than loud. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this effect by breaking light into scintillating flashes, so the gem communicates both inner clarity and outward presence. For those seeking a stone that conveys authority with elegance, the balance of hue, tone, and cut in this sapphire creates a statement of refined individuality.

Provenance and craftsmanship are central to the appeal of this sapphire, and The Natural Sapphire Company provides the context and expertise to present it with integrity. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka, the lack of enhancement, and the evaluated eye clean clarity are objective indicators that support both aesthetic appreciation and long term value. The cushion shape and the stone dimensions make it well suited to become a center stone in a bespoke engagement ring, a classic solitaire, or a refined pendant, and the medium color intensity adapts well to settings in platinum, white gold, or warm gold tones to either emphasize cool blue notes or to contrast and elevate the purple nuance. Care is straightforward, consistent with standard guidelines for corundum, with routine gentle cleaning by warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush, and periodic professional inspection when set. For clients seeking a gem that communicates distinction through balanced color and quality, this sapphire represents a considered choice, combining the natural character of a Ceylon origin stone with the craftsmanship and presentation standards associated with The Natural Sapphire Company.
