Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 0.61 ct Violet Sapphire cut in a trillion shape, completely unheated, documented on AGCL Report #M263121. This Violet Sapphire's three-sided, equal-length outline creates a larger face-up appearance than the carat weight alone suggests, making it an efficient way to display violet color at a compact size. Unheated status means the color is entirely natural — no thermal treatment has been used to modify or enhance the hue of this Violet Sapphire.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"The trillion cut on this 0.61 ct stone earns its keep — the flat triangular face genuinely reads larger and shows more color per carat than an oval or round of the same weight, which matters more in violet sapphire than in most colors since the hue itself is already uncommon at this size."
Rarity Analysis
A few factors combine to make this stone scarcer than its 0.61 carat weight alone would suggest:
-
Color: Violet sapphire is a distinctly uncommon hue compared to blue or pink sapphire, and this stone shows a pleasing medium-saturation violet.
-
Size: 0.61 carats in a trillion cut, sized for accent settings, small pendants, or three-stone side positions.
-
Treatment: Completely unheated per AGCL Report #M263121 — no thermal modification of the hue.
-
Cut: Trillion faceting maximizes face-up color display relative to carat weight, a meaningful advantage in a smaller stone.
-
Documentation: Independently verified by AGCL, confirming species, weight, shape, dimensions, and treatment status.
-
Combined effect: An uncommon color, an efficient cut for its weight, and full documentation combine to make this trillion punch above its 0.61 carats.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
Cut consideration: Trillion-cut stones display sharp corners that need protective prong or bezel placement in a setting — discuss corner protection with your jeweler.
-
Clarity expectations: Graded Slightly Included — inclusions may be visible to the unaided eye in certain lighting; request close-up photos if clarity is a priority.
-
Scale for your design: At 5.17 x 5.03mm, this stone reads as a compact accent or side stone rather than a solitaire center.
-
Origin disclosure: Sri Lanka (Ceylon) origin is the store's own assessment and is not addressed by the AGCL report.
-

Why Choose this 0.61 ct Trillion Violet Sapphire?
Violet sapphire sits at the cooler, bluer end of the purple spectrum — a color less commonly available than blue or pink, and rarer still in unheated quality. The trillion cut is chosen specifically for its efficiency: the flat, wide triangular face shows more color per carat than a round or oval cut at the same weight, making this small Violet Sapphire read larger and bolder than its size suggests.
