2.06 Ct. Violet Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that feels like the final answer to a long standing search, whether you are imagining the moment you present an engagement ring to the person you love, or you are curating a collection of rare and natural gems, this sapphire meets that need with quiet confidence. Many clients tell me they want a stone that is instantly distinctive, yet timeless, a piece that will start conversations and become a cherished heirloom. This violet sapphire delivers on all of those desires, offering a balance of color, form, and natural character that makes it ideal for those who are ready to stop looking, and start planning the special moment or the next important acquisition. At this stage in your search you are not just choosing a color, you are choosing a story, and this gem brings a story of Ceylon origin, honest clarity, and pure, untreated beauty.

This stone is a semi translucent 2.06 carat cushion shape violet sapphire, with precise dimensions of 6.70 x 6.09 x 4.53 mm, cut in the appealing sugar loaf style that produces a gentle dome and a soft, luminous face. The clarity has been graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means that its internal features do not distract the viewer and the gem presents a clean, compelling surface to the eye. The color intensity is described as intense, giving that vivid violet presence that reads as elegant and modern while remaining rooted in classic sapphire character. The polish is excellent, so the surface reflects light smoothly and enhances the stone s soft, tactile glow. Importantly for discerning buyers, this sapphire has no enhancement, so its color and clarity are natural, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with memorable color and strong provenance.

For someone planning an engagement ring, this sapphire answers a specific set of needs that many couples voice. You want a center stone that feels substantial without overwhelming the hand, and 2.06 carats in a well balanced cushion profile achieves that sweet spot. The sugar loaf cut offers a soft, domed silhouette that sits beautifully in bezel settings or low crowns, making it comfortable for daily wear while still catching light in a refined way. The intense violet color reads as romantic and unique, a modern alternative to traditional blue while retaining the durability and history of sapphire for an everyday symbol of commitment. Because the stone is eye clean, you can set it in a way that showcases the color without worrying about visible inclusions distracting from the design. Whether your aesthetic leans toward cool platinum and white metals to accentuate the stone s clarity, warm rose gold to amplify the violet warmth, or yellow gold for a vintage inspired contrast, this sapphire adapts gracefully to your vision.

Collectors and connoisseurs will also find this Ceylon sapphire to be an attractive addition, for reasons that extend beyond immediate visual appeal. Natural, untreated sapphires with documented origin hold a special place in collections, and the combination of intense color, eye clean clarity, and an unusual sugar loaf cut increases the stone s desirability. The semi translucent character gives it a depth and inner glow that is different from fully transparent stones and different from opaque cabochons, offering a nuanced aesthetic that invites close inspection and repeated enjoyment. The dimensions make it versatile for display in a wide range of settings, and its excellent polish ensures it presents well in lighting that highlights its internal color play. For investors who appreciate provenance and natural beauty, a Sri Lankan, untreated violet sapphire with these attributes is a considered choice that brings both rarity and personality to a thoughtfully assembled collection.
