2.14 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mineral rich soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka this purple sapphire began its life deep beneath ancient seas where layers of heat and pressure coaxed aluminum and oxygen into corundum and traces of chromium and iron lent it a regal purple hue. Generations of Sri Lankan miners have walked these alluvial fields guided by knowledge passed down through families and by the rhythms of monsoon seasons. The rough crystal we found was chosen not only for its clarity and color but for the way it seemed to catch light even in the dim of the mine, a glimmer that suggested a story worth telling. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin, because each facet of this gem carries the fingerprint of place and of people, and because the journey from river stone to heart shaped jewel is a passage of respect for the earth and for a craft that connects past and present.

In the cutting house the rough was studied, mapped, and gently coaxed into the graceful proportions you see now. The result is a transparent heart shape weighing 2.14 carats with dimensions of 7.38 x 8.12 x 4.99 mm. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation with depth so that every movement returns a play of light, and the excellent polish ensures those flashes travel to the eye without interruption. At eye level the clarity reads as very slightly included which means that its minor natural features do not detract from its beauty but instead anchor its authenticity. The color intensity is intense, a saturated purple that balances blue and red harmonies to create a tone both deep and lively. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, the stone is wholly natural, and that purity is part of its personality. When held to the light the pavilion facets and crown dance together, a dialogue of fire and depth born of patient planning and precise execution.

This rich bold purple reads as a symbol of personal power and distinction, it is a color that has been reserved across cultures for dignity and presence, and in this heart shaped form it becomes an intimate emblem of intention. Worn at the center of a ring or pendant it announces confidence without shouting, it lends a composed authority to business attire and a romantic depth to evening wear. Because the hue sits between blue and red it can be paired with white gold for a contemporary crispness, with yellow gold for a warm historic resonance, or with platinum for maximum brilliance and contrast. The heart shape softens the intensity, turning power into approachability and making this gem suitable for someone who commands respect while remaining open to connection. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that the stone flashes with lively brilliance when you move, translating inner resolve into visible sparkle. For someone seeking a signature piece that speaks of both inner strength and refined taste this sapphire offers a rare balance, a voice that is bold and elegant at once.
