Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.29 carat violet sapphire in a cushion cut, sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and completely unheated. The cushion geometry concentrates the stone's violet hue across the face, producing deeper saturation than oval or round equivalents of the same weight. Violet sapphire occupies the cooler, bluer end of the purple corundum range — more saturated than lavender, cooler-toned than pure purple. Unheated violet sapphires from Ceylon are among the rarest stones in the catalog; heat treatment shifts violet toward blue or red, so the finest violets are almost always natural as cut.
Why Choose this 1.29 ct Unheated Violet Sapphire?
This 1.29 ct unheated Ceylon violet sapphire offers a hue that sits in genuine rarity territory — most violet sapphires in the market have been heated, and the heat often destroys the delicate violet-blue balance that makes this color desirable. The cushion cut deepens the saturation and gives the stone a romantic, glowing quality under any light source.
