At exactly half a carat in an oval, this is a stone with a strong face-up presence for its weight — the oval outline spreads the violet across a broad surface, making the color visible and clear even at this sub-1-carat size. Violet sapphire sits in the hue zone between blue and purple, giving it a rich, distinctive character at any size.
