Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A matched pair of two natural violet sapphires, 0.69 cts (Total) for the pair, cut as tapered baguettes in a step cut and selected together for use as the two side stones of a three-stone ring or as a pair of earring accents.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"I bought these two as a pair and they are sold as a pair — there is no single stone here, and the weight on the report is the two of them together. What I can tell you is that I put them side by side and measured them before listing them. What I will not tell you is how close the match is in numbers, because no report measures that and I am not going to invent a figure for it. Look at the photographs, and if your setting needs each stone measured on its own, ask me before you order."
What the Report Records
The report on this pair is from AGCL (Arctic Gem Certification & Laboratory), No. M264397, dated 15 April 2026. These are the fields it prints, with the laboratory's own qualifiers kept on the figures:
-
Heading block: NATURAL CORUNDUM / VIOLET SAPPHIRE / (PAIR)
-
COLOUR: Violet
-
WEIGHT: 0.69 cts (Total) — the lab's own word is (Total), and it is the two stones added together. AGCL prints no weight for either stone on its own.
-
SHAPE: Tapered Baguette
-
CUT: Step Cut — one cut field, and that is the whole classification on this report.
-
DIMENSIONS: 5.80 x 2.92 x 1.86 mm (Avg) — (Avg) means averaged across the two stones, so it is not the measurement of either one.
-
COMMENTS: No Indication of Heating (Un-Heated)
That is the whole document. It is headed GEMSTONE REPORT, and what it does is identify the material, record the colour it was given, record the shape, the cut, the combined weight and the average dimensions, and record a finding on heating made on the date above. We quote nothing else from it, and nothing else on this page comes from it.
Origin — Our Own Sourcing Record
The report carries no origin opinion. An AGCL gemstone report has no origin field at all, so there is no laboratory finding about where this pair was mined, and nothing on this page should be read as one.
So when we name a place, that is Crescent Gems' own sourcing record and it is offered on our authority rather than a laboratory's. We buy direct, from our own offices. These two stones came through our own buying in Sri Lanka.
If origin has to be documented for your purpose rather than taken on our word, write to us before you order and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot evidence on this pair.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before buying this pair:
-
This is two stones, not one. 0.69 cts (Total) is the combined weight of the pair — check that against your side-stone or earring design before you order, because neither stone on its own is 0.69 ct.
-
The dimensions are an average. 5.80 x 2.92 x 1.86 mm (Avg) is averaged across both stones rather than measured on either, so share it with your jeweler as an average and ask us if the setting needs each stone separately.
-
Tapered baguettes are cut to a length and a taper. They are the standard side-stone cut for a three-stone ring, and a setting built for them has to fit the taper as well as the length.
-
Keep the report with the stones. It is the document that records the species, the colour, the cut, the combined weight and the heating finding, and it belongs with the pair.
-
The colour on the report is Violet. If your design calls for a particular shade, go by the photographs and the report rather than by a colour name on any listing, ours included.

Care of a Tapered Baguette Violet Sapphire Pair
- Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush
- Store each stone separately so the two do not rub against one another
- Remove before heavy physical activity
- Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners
One of a Kind
Each stone in this pair is a natural gemstone — no two are exactly alike, and once this pair is sold it cannot be reordered or reproduced.
Why This Pair
Tapered baguettes are the standard side-stone cut for a three-stone ring: the narrow tip sits against the center stone's girdle and the wider end extends outward. These two were bought together, measured together and listed together, so they are ready to mount as left and right side stones without a further selection step. Violet baguettes sit alongside the white diamond and blue sapphire side stones that dominate the three-stone market, and the heating finding on the report is recorded above for both stones.
