Purple sapphires are for people who want something different. Rich violets, deep grape tones, and everything in between. They're far less common than blue sapphires, which makes them an interesting choice for collectors and anyone who wants a unique engagement ring. We source ours from partner mines in Sri Lanka, where some of the best purple sapphires originate. Direct, no middlemen. What to look for? Strong saturation is key, the color should be vivid, not grayish or washed out. Purple sapphires can show different hues depending on lighting, some lean more blue, others more red. That's part of their charm. See our current stock below.
