2.75 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments when a gemstone arrives like a memory of twilight, soft and impossible to forget, and this purple sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is exactly such a memory. Held by The Natural Sapphire Company this 2.75 carat treasure breathes a medium light halo of lavender, transparent and honest, a stone that needs no artifice to sing. Its dimensions of 8.89 by 6.99 by 4.32 millimeters give it a presence that is at once intimate and commanding, a gem that sits comfortably on a finger and yet captures the eye across a room. The clarity grade very very slightly included evaluated at eye level assures a purity that is apparent the moment light meets its facets, while the excellent polish speaks to a finish that allows every photon to enter and exit with grace. There is no enhancement to this stone, it carries the genuine warmth of the earth and the weathered patience of Ceylon Sri Lanka in every hue and every glint.

The emerald cut that frames this sapphire is not merely a shape, it is a language of light, a choreography of planes and steps that turns reflected rays into a procession of luminous ribbons. With a broad table and parallel step facets the cut becomes a hall of mirrors where depth and clarity are translated into measured flashes, linear and elegant, like moonlight sliding across a calm pool. Each facet has been aligned to emphasize transparency rather than scatter, to invite the eye to travel along clean planes and discover the inner architecture of color. The long lines of the emerald cut create a subtle echo, a steady pulse of light that is both restrained and endlessly suggestive, revealing the gem in stages as it tilts and turns, promising intimacy and mastering restraint.

Color in this sapphire is a gentle poem, not a shout, a medium light purple that leans toward the soft amethyst of evening skies. The emerald cut magnifies this temperament with its spacious table allowing the lavender to breathe, while the step facets arrange the color in ribbons so that subtle shifts of tone are revealed as the stone moves, as if the gem itself were recalling different parts of a dream. Because the clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level the stone carries character without distraction, tiny traces of nature that are only visible to those who look for them, and even these marks participate in the sapphire s play of light. The excellent polish enhances every turn, so that each face reflects with mirror like smoothness, turning even the quietest glint into something lyrical.

When set, this sapphire becomes a companion to the skin, the dimensions and weight pairing with human scale to create a silhouette that feels classical and modern all at once. At 8.89 by 6.99 by 4.32 millimeters and with a refined emerald cut the gem presents broad shoulders and a low profile that flatters a variety of settings from a minimal bezel to an airy four claw embrace, each choice amplifying different aspects of the light choreography. The sensation of wearing it is like carrying a private horizon, the lavender glow responding to daylight and lamplight with a gracious temper, giving the wearer a quiet confidence and the piece a storytelling capacity beyond its carat weight. It is a gem that invites design imagination, one that pairs beautifully with cool metals to emphasize its clarity, or with warm accents to draw out the gentlest amethyst notes.

To hold this sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is to hold the suggestion of a promise, crafted by nature and shaped by human hands into something meant to witness a life. With no enhancement, and with the polish described as excellent, this stone bears the provenance and integrity that collectors and romantics seek alike. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish such stones for their ability to anchor memory, to reflect not only light but intention, and to become part of the language between two people. Imagine it catching the sun at midday, shifting to an intimate violet at dusk, and reflecting a private constellation when you raise a hand to your face, a small universe that belongs to you. If you listen closely to the way it plays with light, you will hear a gentle promise, and you will understand why a purple Ceylon sapphire cut in the serene geometry of an emerald shape can feel like the most natural expression of devotion.
