Purple sapphires are a curious outlier in the world of conundrum gemstones. Whilst much of the attention in the world of sapphires has rightly been directed towards blue sapphires, followed by the growing but lesser popularity of yellow, pink, and white sapphires. Purple sapphires in this regard can be considered a ‘fancy’ variant in that it is an outlier in this particular gemstone range. However, like other top sapphires variants, purple is an authentic sapphire through and through and it is a great option for those who wish to possess this gemstone of this type.

Purple as a colour has historically been associated with Royalty. As the colour that represents nobility and class purple is a natural choice for those who wish to delve into the world of precious stones. However, as things have historically stood, the colour purple has not been a mainstay in the world of gems. With diamonds, the most popular gemstone being traditionally colourless in character-with fancy coloured diamonds being a notable exception, owing to their extreme rarity in nature-gemstones with a natural purple hue are a rarity.

The only exception to this has been the famous amethyst. The crystalline quartz gemstone has been the most popular purple gemstone in the world. And competition in the form of natural, hardened crystals has been hard to come up with. For even fancy coloured diamonds tend to be limited to red, pink, yellow and blue options. Thus into this mix enters the rich purple sapphire. An authentic corundum gemstone with a natural colour that brings together the main strengths of the sapphire: high durability (scoring a high 9 on the Mohs scale); great reflective qualities; and carat per carat their better affordability (in contrast to diamonds); along with their greater recognition (being among the top four gemstones in the world) and their relative rarity in terms of general adoption.

Essentially the reasons for choosing a purple sapphire gemstone, as an individual gem, or as part of an engagement ring or other fine jewellery item are numerous. However, the important reason arguably is the novelty of adoption. Most people have never even heard of a purple sapphire, let alone own a gem-quality stone. Purple sapphires thus are a great option for those who wish to stand out from the crowd. How many people can walk into a room and feature a richly coloured purple sapphire gemstone on their ring finger? Not many. With Brilliyond jewellery you could be one of them.

And when it comes to picking a purple sapphire note there is no single purple variant. Purple sapphires come in a variety of tones that divide into several sub-hues. From natural violet to grape-coloured purple, to lighter tones that feature greater transparency. So in addition to the novelty of colour, there are a variety of purple tones to choose from, in addition to the recognition of being a part of the sapphire family. Get in touch with us.
