A natural 0.56 carat purple sapphire in an oval cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), heat treated. At 0.56 carats in an oval, this is a practical earring and accent stone in a rich, saturated purple — the warm purple-red hue range that corundum produces when chromium content exceeds the pink range but falls short of ruby. The oval cut maximizes face-up color at this sub-carat weight, and Ceylon origin confirms the Sri Lankan provenance most associated with fine purple corundum.

Why Choose this 0.56 ct Oval Ceylon Purple Sapphire?

Ceylon purple sapphire at sub-carat weight in an oval represents a practical earring and small pendant specification with documented origin. Heat treatment is the standard commercial norm for sapphire of all colors, and this stone is openly disclosed as heat treated. The Ceylon origin provides the provenance quality that distinguishes this stone from undocumented commercial material at the same price tier.
