Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 0.83 carat purple sapphire in an oval cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated. Purple sapphire is natural corundum with more red content than violet — a warmer, more saturated color that reads with a rich, royal character. At 0.83 carats in an oval, this is a practical sub-1-carat center stone for smaller engagement rings, earring applications, and pendant designs. Ceylon origin and unheated status together define the premium tier for purple sapphire at any size.
Why Choose this 0.83 ct Unheated Oval Purple Sapphire?
Ceylon purple sapphire approaching 1 carat in unheated quality is uncommon in the commercial market — purple is less abundant than blue or yellow from Sri Lanka, and unheated examples are rarer still. At 0.83 carats in an oval, the stone sits just under the 1-carat center stone threshold but with sufficient face-up surface to display the purple clearly in earring and smaller ring settings.
