4.08 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 4.08 carat transparent asscher octagon amethyst from Ceylon carries the weight of centuries, its vivid purple hue recalling royal and spiritual associations that date back to antiquity. Cut into a classic asscher octagon with step facets and an impressive table, it reflects light with a calm, architectural brilliance that is both timeless and quietly modern, its excellent polish and very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level ensuring a visually clean and striking appearance. Heat treated to optimize its vivid color intensity, this gemstone presents a saturated, even purple that reads beautifully in both direct and soft light, making it a natural choice for designs that seek to honor tradition while embracing precise contemporary cutting. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prize stones with provenance, and this Sri Lankan amethyst offers that narrative, a link between the old gem trading routes of Ceylon and the craft of today.

At 9.75 x 9.66 x 6.42 mm and weighing 4.08 carats, the dimension and octagonal asscher shape make this amethyst ideal for custom jewelry, its broad table and symmetrical facets lending themselves to centered solitaires, halo settings, vintage inspired art deco designs, and refined three stone arrangements. The stone sits perfectly in both low set bezel settings for everyday elegance, and in elevated prong mounts for maximum light return, while its size makes it equally suitable for a standout cocktail ring, a pendant that reads like a miniature heirloom, or bespoke cufflinks and signets that carry personal significance. Designers will appreciate the predictable symmetry for precision settings, and clients who favor legacy pieces will value the classic proportions that wear well over decades. Paired with yellow gold to enrich the warm undertones, with platinum or white gold for a cooler modern contrast, or with rose gold for a romantic vintage palette, this amethyst invites thoughtful combinations that elevate any custom creation. For collectors and commission clients alike, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide guidance on mounting options, design sketches, and care recommendations to ensure this Ceylon amethyst becomes a cherished piece in any legacy collection.
