Sapphire Description
Presenting a remarkable 1.09 carat intense violet blue Ceylon sapphire, beautifully crafted in a classic cushion cut and ideally suited for a sapphire ring, engagement ring, or a bespoke fine jewellery piece. This gemstone exhibits a vivid blue enriched with subtle violet undertones, creating a dynamic and expressive colour that shifts gracefully in different lighting.
Violet blue sapphires are particularly distinctive, as the presence of violet adds a unique depth and complexity not typically found in standard blue sapphires. This interplay of colour makes them both unusual and highly desirable among those seeking something beyond the traditional.
Untreated and entirely unheated, this sapphire retains its natural formation — a rarity for stones displaying such intensity and character. Carefully sourced and individually selected, it offers a compelling centre stone for a jewellery creation that celebrates individuality, refined taste, and quiet exclusivity.
Imaging Accuracy
Imaging Accuracy
We understand that it can be hard to assess loose sapphires colours from photos alone. All our images and videos are taken by a specialist gemstone imaging company who produce images to 99% colour accuracy with ISO standard natural daylight in high magnification. This ensures you will get the best view for colour, clarity and any visible inclusions.
Whilst this is the most accurate representation of the stones colours, sapphire colours vary depending on the lighting conditions.
Certification
Certification
All our sapphires come certified, guaranteeing authentic natural sapphires from Sri Lanka. This will come in the form of a certificate on delivery of the sapphire. Certain stones may include extra certification by GIA or SSEF Switzerland, this will be highlighted in the description. Please do contact us if you wish to discuss any certifications.
Clarity Rating
Clarity Rating
While some sapphires can appear "eye-clean" (meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye), most natural sapphires do contain inclusions, which are considered natural characteristics and not necessarily flaws.
Our sapphires are graded in the below format:
VVS (Very Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have very, very small inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification.
VS (Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have minor inclusions that are clearly visible under 10x magnification, but they might be difficult to see with the naked eye.
SI (Slightly Included):These sapphires have noticeable inclusions that are easy to observe under 10x magnification, and some may be visible to the naked eye.
I (Included):These sapphires have obvious inclusions that are easily visible under 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
