0.79 ct Natural Unheated Purple Sapphire – Tapered Baguette Cut | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

A natural 0.79 carat total weight matched pair of purple sapphires in tapered baguette cuts, completely unheated. Tapered baguette stones are longer at one end than the other — the classic side-stone format for three-stone engagement rings, where the narrower tip of each baguette sits against the center stone girdle and the wider end extends outward. Both stones in this pair have been matched for color consistency, dimensional symmetry, and taper ratio, making them directly usable as left-right side stones in any three-stone ring or earring application.

Rarity Analysis

Matched purple sapphire pairs are a narrower category than single purple stones, for a few reasons:

• Color: Purple sapphire, certified by AGCL as Violet, is a minority color within corundum production — most rough yields blue, not purple.
• Size: 0.79 ctw across two stones (about 0.40 ct each) is a workable side-stone weight for three-stone rings without overpowering a typical center stone.
• Treatment: Both stones unheated, confirmed by AGCL report #M264399 — unheated purple sapphire in matched-pair form is uncommon since matching compounds the sourcing difficulty.
• Matching: Length, width, and taper ratio matched between the two stones for left-right symmetry in a finished setting.
• Documentation: AGCL Gemstone Report #M264399 confirms species, weight, and unheated status for both stones.
• Combined effect: finding two unheated purple sapphires that match on color and all three dimensions is a narrower search than sourcing a single stone of equal quality, which is reflected in how few pairs like this reach the market.

Buying Guidance

A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:

• Confirm your center stone dimensions: tapered baguettes are cut to specific angle and length ratios — check your setting's side-stone specs before ordering.
• Purple vs. violet labeling: AGCL certifies this color as Violet; if you are matching to an existing piece, view the stones under your intended lighting first.
• Pairs cannot be split and rematched: this listing is a matched pair, and its value is in the set — order only if you need both stones.
• Setting protection: step-cut corners on tapered baguettes benefit from a protective bezel or prong at the narrow tip.
• Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.

Why Choose this 0.79 ctw Unheated Tapered Baguette Purple Sapphire Pair?

Tapered baguette matching requires precise dimensional calibration — the taper angle, the length, and the width at both ends must match between the two stones, or the finished ring will look unbalanced. This pair has been selected and verified for dimensional consistency across all three measurements, saving the designer or buyer the sourcing work that is otherwise the most time-consuming part of three-stone ring design.
