2.16 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the quiet language of color, this purple sapphire sings like twilight gathered into a single, luminous heartbeat, a jewel that feels like a promise folded into light. Weighing 2.16 carat, the stone measures 9.58 by 6.26 by 3.08 millimeters, and its transparent body reveals a depth of hue that is at once regal and softly intimate. Born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and presented to you with certification that honors its natural beauty, this sapphire is a rare conversation between earth and fire. The tone is intense without excess, a purple that leans into the language of romance, and when held to the light it seems to whisper old stories of moonlit gardens and letters kept in velvet. From the first glance you are met with a clarity described as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a subtle proof of its natural formation that only enhances its character, and a polish so excellent that every facet becomes a window into a secret sky.

The emerald cut gives this sapphire a noble geometry, a crystalline architecture of parallel step facets that organizes brilliance into disciplined, mesmerizing ribbons of light. Each facet has been aligned to perform, each plane honed to reflect and refract, allowing a maximum play of light that transforms the gem with every tilt of the wrist. Rather than the scattered fire of a brilliant cut, the emerald shape creates luminous hallways inside the gem, long corridors of purple light that draw the eye inward, inviting quiet contemplation. The clean lines and clipped corners are like a poem in stone, where precision and poetry meet. Because the stone has received no enhancement, its color and clarity are the honest language of the earth, and that authenticity is palpable when the light travels across its polished surfaces. Under sunlight the sapphire blooms with clarity and vigor, under candlelight it deepens into a private, velvety glow, and under room light it sits like a loyal ember, steady and assured.

Imagine this stone at the center of a ring, or as the solitary heart of a pendant, each setting chosen to echo the gem own geometry and to keep its light free to sing. The rectangular symmetry of the emerald cut lends itself to styles that are both modern and timeless, settings that hold the sapphire like a cherished letter, and designs that let the step facets breathe. At The Natural Sapphire Company we see this gem as more than an object, it is a moment made lasting, an heirloom waiting to begin its story with you. For someone seeking the intensity of purple, the honesty of an untreated Ceylon origin, and the refined brilliance that only precise faceting can deliver, this 2.16 carat emerald cut sapphire answers like a soft yes. If your desire is for a piece that reads as both bold and tender, technical and soulful, this stone will harmonize with any design that honors its geometry and its light, transforming craft into counsel, and jewelry into memory.
