2.02 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent purple sapphire weighs 2.02 carats, and is expertly fashioned in an emerald cut with measured dimensions of 8.70 by 6.57 by 3.60 mm, presenting balanced table proportions and crisp step facets that emphasize both color saturation and internal clarity. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to a trained viewer the stone reads as exceptionally clean, and the very minor inclusions do not interrupt the even, vivid color intensity. The excellent polish enhances light return across the large facets of the emerald cut, creating the elegant hall of mirrors effect that makes the hue read richly and consistently from different angles. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source historically prized for sapphires with vivid, saturated colors, and the gem has undergone a standard heat treatment to optimize tone and saturation, a stable and widely accepted enhancement when disclosed. With sapphire hardness at 9 on the Mohs scale, this stone combines striking color with real durability, making it well suited to rings, pendants, and everyday wearable settings.

For an educated buyer seeking a genuine generational heirloom, this 2.02 carat Ceylon purple sapphire embodies the attributes that endure across generations, namely documented origin, stable enhancement, precise cutting, and above average clarity and polish. The emerald cut is timeless and lends itself to classic and modern settings, so the stone can be reinterpreted by successive owners while retaining its intrinsic value and beauty. Its stability under ordinary wear, simplicity of maintenance with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and the rarity of vivid purple material at this size from Ceylon all contribute to its suitability as an heirloom. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance and can assist with independent gemological documentation, bespoke mounting options, and guidance on insurance and care to ensure this sapphire is preserved and appreciated by future generations.
