What Could You Create with This 2.22 Carat Purple Sapphire?

This natural loose sapphire has an elegant face-up shape and enough presence to become the centerpiece of a personal bespoke jewelry design.

• A distinctive purple sapphire engagement ring
• An elongated cushion-cut solitaire
• A meaningful promise or anniversary ring
• A vintage-inspired halo setting
• A three-stone ring with complementary accent gemstones
• A refined blue-violet sapphire pendant
• A contemporary bespoke fine jewelry design

White gold or platinum could emphasize the sapphire’s cooler blue-violet character. Yellow gold may provide a warm and striking contrast, while rose gold could create a softer and more romantic appearance.

If you are considering a semi-mount jewelry setting, provide the exact gemstone measurements to your jewelry maker before purchasing the setting. Natural gemstones are individually cut, so a custom-made setting may provide the most secure and precise fit.

Unheated and Untreated Natural Ceylon Sapphire

This natural sapphire has received no heat treatment or other known enhancement. Its color, clarity characteristics, and internal features remain part of the gemstone’s natural geological identity.

Untreated sapphires are sought by many gemstone collectors and jewelry lovers because they preserve their naturally formed character. Every earth-sourced gemstone is individual, and variations in tone, color distribution, faceting, clarity, and response to light form part of its identity.

Sapphire Pal clearly discloses known treatment information so clients can compare unheated sapphire gemstones with traditionally heated sapphires and make a well-informed purchase.

A Purple Sapphire for Engagement Rings and Fine Jewelry

This 2.22 carat elongated cushion sapphire could work beautifully in engagement rings, promise rings, anniversary jewelry, wedding-related pieces, statement rings, or custom pendants.

Its blue-violet to purple color gives the gemstone a distinctive identity without feeling overly conventional. Jewelry makers could surround it with small natural diamond or sapphire accents, create a three-stone design, or keep the setting simple with a clean solitaire.

For a gem collector, its Ceylon origin, untreated status, elongated cushion cut, and natural color make it an appealing addition to a collection of sapphire gemstones, loose gemstones, and other precious stones.

Choosing a Natural Sapphire with Confidence

When choosing a loose sapphire, consider the gemstone’s color, face-up dimensions, clarity, cut, treatment status, and intended jewelry design. Carat weight is important, but visible size and appearance under different lighting conditions are equally relevant.
