Purple Sapphire: A Gemstone of Unique Beauty

Purple sapphires are a stunning and rare variation of the sapphire family, known for their captivating hues that range from soft lavender to deep violet. The rich, vibrant colour of these gemstones is consistent and does not change under different lighting conditions, making them a unique choice for those looking for a gemstone with consistent beauty. The balance of blue and purple tones in purple sapphires creates a visually striking gemstone that stands out for its deep, regal appearance.

The Rarity and Value of Purple Sapphires

Purple sapphires are among the rarer varieties of sapphires, making them highly sought after by gemstone collectors and jewellery enthusiasts. The rarity is due to the specific combination of blue and purple hues, which makes these gemstones particularly unique. When it comes to valuing purple sapphires, the intensity and saturation of the colour play a critical role. Vivid, deep purple sapphires are the most valuable, while lighter shades may be more affordable. The presence of any treatments, such as heat treatment, can also impact the value, with untreated or “unheated” purple sapphires often commanding a higher price.

The price range for purple sapphires can vary depending on their size, clarity, and colour intensity.

Cut, Clarity, and Customisation of Purple Sapphire Jewellery

Purple sapphires are typically cut into cushion, oval, or round shapes, making them popular choices for engagement rings, earrings, and pendants. While oval and cushion cuts are most common, rarer shapes such as heart-shaped sapphires can be challenging to find due to their scarcity.

Clarity, while important, is secondary to the colour when it comes to purple sapphires. Like all gemstones, sapphires can have inclusions, but excessive inclusions may reduce the stone’s overall appeal and durability. For the highest value, purple sapphires with minimal inclusions are sought after.

Customising purple sapphire jewellery allows for the creation of truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Imagine a bespoke purple sapphire engagement ring, set with pave diamonds on either side, crafted in 18k rose gold to highlight the gemstone’s rich hue. A custom design brings out the uniqueness of the purple sapphire, ensuring that the piece reflects the individuality of the wearer.
