2.04 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a single statement gem that ends your search, this 2.04 carat purple sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka answers that need with quiet authority. Sourced and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is an emerald cut, transparent and eye clean when viewed at eye level, giving you the confidence that its beauty is natural and unobstructed. The measurements are 7.50 millimeters by 6.03 millimeters by 4.34 millimeters, with a medium intense color that sits in the sweet spot between vivid and restrained, and an excellent polish that lets every plane and facet sing when light moves across the stone. There are no treatments or enhancements, so what you see is the gem as it formed, a rare and honest example of Ceylon provenance that will make any custom piece feel like a discovery rather than a purchase.

Visually this emerald cut purple sapphire balances geometry and depth in a way few cuts can, producing long, elegant facets that emphasize the stone body color and clarity rather than a scatter of flashy brilliance. The depth and table proportions let the medium intense purple sit richly in the center, while the clean clarity allows flashes of lighter lilac and cooler mauve to appear as the stone turns, adding liveliness to the overall tone. Because the polish is excellent, the lines and crown facets remain crisp, which complements both modern minimalist settings and more elaborate vintage inspired designs. For someone seeking an engagement ring this stone conveys refinement and individuality, while collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate its unheated origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka and the rare combination of size and eye clean clarity in an emerald cut.

When you imagine this sapphire in a custom setting, think about what will enhance its medium intense purple and highlight its clean geometry. A bezel set in warm yellow gold will give the purple a regal, almost royal depth, the gold halo will bring out rich plum undertones and provide a contemporary, durable frame. If you prefer cool metal, a white gold or platinum cathedral setting with a delicate halo of fine white diamonds will add scintillation and lift the sapphire visually, the contrast providing crispness that emphasizes the clean facets of the emerald cut. For side stones consider tapered baguette diamonds to echo the linear facets, or paired trapezoid diamonds for a bolder, architectural look, each choice reinforcing the stone profile and creating a refined, high end aesthetic. For a more colorful custom piece, consider a trio design with small pink sapphires or light violet sapphires flanking the center, these colors will harmonize with the purple while adding an intentional, romantic gradient. If you want contrast, a pair of small green emeralds will create a classical complementary palette, the green pushing the purple to appear deeper and more saturated.
