A natural 0.46 carat violet sapphire in a cushion cut, completely unheated. At sub-half-carat weight, this stone is sized for accent jewelry, stackable rings, and very small pendant designs — a scale where the color quality matters more than the carat weight, and where violet sapphire's rare hue creates strong visual character even at compact size. The cushion cut deepens the violet saturation across the small face-up surface.

Why Choose this 0.46 ct Unheated Cushion Violet Sapphire?

Violet sapphire at sub-half-carat weight in unheated quality is the format for buyers who want the rarest sapphire hue in an accent-stone scale. Heat treatment shifts violet toward red or blue, so this natural color at any size is uncommon. The cushion cut on a small stone like this maximizes the face-up color with the rounded corner geometry.
