Description

This 1.56 ct Purple Sapphire from Ilakaka, Madagascar, combines a refined cushion cut with a rich violet purple color and the added appeal of being unheated. Madagascar has become one of the most important modern sources for fine sapphires, producing stones with attractive colors and excellent individuality. In this gem, the natural beauty of the material is paired with a timeless and highly versatile shape.

Violet Purple — elegant, expressive, and distinctive
The sapphire shows a beautiful violet purple color with a refined and lively appearance. This elegant mix of purple with violet influence gives the stone a distinguished character that stands apart from more common blue sapphire colors. It offers both depth and freshness, making it a particularly attractive choice for collectors and for jewelry lovers seeking something more individual.

No Heat — natural beauty without thermal enhancement
This sapphire is offered as No Heat, meaning that its color and character have not been improved by heat treatment. Unheated sapphires are especially appreciated for their natural state and are often chosen by buyers who value rarity, authenticity, and the untouched beauty of the gemstone as it came from the earth.

Cushion cut — timeless shape with soft elegance
The cushion cut gives this sapphire a classic and sophisticated look. Its softly rounded corners and balanced outline combine structure with elegance, creating a shape that suits both traditional and modern jewelry designs. It is an excellent choice for solitaire rings, halo designs, pendants, and other bespoke fine jewelry pieces.

A distinctive sapphire for jewelry or collection
At 1.56 ct, this sapphire offers a very attractive size for a centerpiece stone. It has enough presence to stand out beautifully in a custom jewelry design while remaining refined and highly wearable. Its combination of Madagascar origin, violet purple color, and unheated status also makes it appealing for a fine gemstone collection.
