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

This 2.04 carat oval pinkish purple sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare balance of lively color, clean clarity, and precise cutting that stands apart from many stones on the market, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it. Measuring 8.33 by 6.76 by 4.60 millimeters, the gem has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines the fire and scintillation of a brilliant style with the color retention of a more traditional pavilion design. At eye level the stone is eye clean, so the visual purity is immediate, and the intense color intensity reads as a vibrant pinkish purple that feels both youthful and elegant. What sets this sapphire ahead of the mass market is that it is untreated, with no enhancement, a characteristic that is increasingly sought after by collectors and people who want a gemstone with natural provenance and intrinsic beauty. Compared to other gems of similar hue such as heated Ceylon sapphires, commercial purple spinels, or lower clarity tourmalines, this sapphire offers a superior combination of natural color, clarity, and gemological integrity, making it a more valuable and enduring choice for a bespoke engagement ring or a signature piece of fine jewelry.

The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish work together to create dynamic light performance that will vary in the most pleasing ways under different lighting conditions. In daylight and overnight city ambient light, expect a clear mingling of violet and pink, with flashes of bright sparkle across the table and crown facets as the gem moves. Under warm incandescent light and candlelight, the pink tones will become more pronounced, producing a rich, romantic glow that flatters warm skin tones and creates an intimate presence. Under modern cool white LED lighting and fluorescent shop lights, the purple character becomes crisper and more violet leaning, showing off the gem’s saturation and the precise facet intersections that return clean, lively flashes. The pavilion angles and mixed cut maximize scintillation when worn and viewed in motion, so the sapphire will scintillate from small points of light at a glance, yet display broad, velvety windows of color when seen face up. Because the stone is eye clean and has an excellent polish, light travels through it without obstruction, producing both strong brilliance and a deep internal color that feels luminous rather than flat, a quality that you will notice immediately when comparing it side by side with less well cut or included stones.

Origin and treatment play a major role in how a sapphire is valued and experienced, and this Ceylon origin, untreated sapphire offers a distinctive advantage. Ceylon sapphires are renowned for their lively, resonant tones and a brightness that differs from the darker, more inky appearance of some other sources, and an untreated stone with intense color and eye clean clarity at this weight is uncommon in the current market. Many commercial sapphires undergo heat treatment to improve color and clarity, and while that is an accepted practice, the natural state of this gem conveys rarity and provenance, which enhances both emotional and monetary value. Beyond aesthetics, sapphire is a durable gemstone that ranks high on the hardness scale, so this 2.04 carat stone will endure everyday wear in a well designed setting far better than many alternatives that exhibit similar hues but lack sapphire toughness. Its dimensions and optical depth make it versatile for a range of settings, from a classic solitaire that showcases the oval table, to a halo or three stone design that leverages the intense center color, and because it is untreated and eye clean, the presence and face up color will remain stable and beautiful over generations, a meaningful consideration for heirloom quality pieces.
