Purple Sapphire Pair 3.08 ct – Unheated Natural Ceylon Tumbled Loose Stones

Looking for something truly unusual? This is a mismatched pair of natural purple sapphires from Sri Lanka, completely unheated, with the soft lavender-violet colour they came out of the ground with. Instead of being faceted, they've been smoothed and polished into flat, organic shapes, so each stone has its own outline and a gentle inner glow. They're made for a jewelry maker or designer, or anyone planning mismatched earrings, a pair of organic rings or matching pendants for two people.

• Unheated. Organic. One of a kind. Made to be remembered.
• Vintage estate stones, likely mid-20th century (about the 1930s to 1960s; the exact date is not known), sourced from an antique jewel dealer in Jaipur.
• Checked in-house by Roho Jewels; no independent lab report. Comes with our genuine guarantee and the Roho Jewels lifetime guarantee.
• Mismatched pair of natural purple / violet sapphires from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), 3.08 ct total (approx. 1.54 ct each)
• Soft to medium lavender purple-violet; loupe clean
• Unheated and untreated
• Tumbled, smooth polished flat organic shape, approx. 9.6 × 8.4 × 2 mm each
• A mismatched pair of loose natural purple sapphires, sold unmounted. The two stones are close in size and colour but not identical, which is the charm of a mismatched pair. There is only one of this pair.

Why unheated matters

Most sapphires sold today are heated to improve their colour. These have never been heated or treated in any way, so the colour you see is exactly as nature made it.

The tumbled, flat organic shape

Tumbling smooths and polishes a stone while keeping its natural outline, so:

• Every stone has its own one-of-a-kind shape
• The polished surface gives a soft, glowing look rather than sparkle
• At about 2 mm thick, they sit low and flat, which suits bezel settings
• About 9.6 × 8.4 mm across, so they have generous face-up size for their weight

Design ideas

• Mismatched or asymmetrical earrings in bezel settings
• A pair of organic rings, one stone each
• Matching pendants for sisters, best friends, partners or a mother and daughter
• Low, flat rings that won't catch on clothing
• Rose or yellow gold to warm up the lavender, or white gold for a cooler look
