2.07 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This gem is a transparent 2.07 carat sapphire cut into a classic emerald shape, with precise dimensions of 8.43 by 6.69 by 3.66 millimeters, and originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The color reads as a pinkish purple with vivid intensity, yielding a saturated yet elegant visual presence under both daylight and artificial light. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which conveys a generally eye clean appearance that is particularly desirable in step cut stones. The finish is an excellent polish that enhances the stone light return and the clean plane of the table. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used to maximize color and clarity, and the piece offered through The Natural Sapphire Company is presented with a focus on natural origin and careful finishing.

The proportions and color profile make this sapphire highly adaptable for a range of custom jewelry settings, from refined solitaire rings to more complex multi stone arrangements. As a center stone it will perform beautifully in a traditional cathedral or low profile ring, and in a halo design it will benefit from a ring of accent diamonds or contrasting colored sapphires that emphasize the vivid hue. For a modern statement, the emerald cut is suited to an east west orientation in a bezel or prong mounting, creating a distinctive profile on a finger or as a pendant. In earrings the stone can be paired with a matching partner if a matched pair is commissioned, or it can be set as a single drop in a minimalist pendant for asymmetric styling. Additional applications include cufflinks, brooches, and custom bracelets where the elongated geometry of the emerald cut lends itself to linear, architectural motifs.

From the perspective of stone setting and design engineering, the given dimensions and emerald cut form inform sensible choices that balance protection and light performance. The flat table and step facets of an emerald cut reward open prong settings that allow the color to read through the pavilion, while a well executed bezel offers superior protection for everyday wear and for situations where the wearer is more active. Corner prongs or bezel corners are advisable to protect the cut corners typical of the emerald cut. When planning accent stones, select proportions that respect the 8.43 by 6.69 millimeter outline so that halos or side stones sit harmoniously against the gem without overwhelming its visual footprint. Metal selection will significantly influence perceived color, with platinum and white gold offering a cooler backdrop that increases perceived contrast, and yellow or rose gold imparting warmth that complements the pinkish undertone of the sapphire. The modest depth at 3.66 millimeters provides a balance between visible face up area and practical mounting depth, which designers can use to keep a low profile while retaining sufficient girdle area for secure seatings.

The Natural Sapphire Company provides customization and consultation services to realize these design options into finished jewelry, including tailored recommendations for prong count, bezel style, and accent stone sizing. Because this sapphire is heat treated and remains stable under normal wear conditions, standard jewelry care is appropriate, with routine inspections recommended to confirm secure settings and to maintain polish. For clients seeking a bespoke piece, we offer design sketches and CAD visuals that demonstrate how the sapphire will read in proposed metals and settings, and we can advise on complementary stones to create engagement rings, dress rings, pendants, or cufflinks that reflect individual taste. Documentation of origin and treatment is available on request, and our team can assist in creating a matched set or in commissioning companion stones to produce a pair of earrings or a coordinated suite. This 2.07 carat Ceylon sapphire is a versatile and elegant gem, ready to be transformed into a custom piece that highlights its vivid color, excellent polish, and refined emerald cut.
