An Untreated Purple Ceylon Sapphire for Something Personal
A small gemstone can hold a meaningful place in your jewelry collection. This 0.50 carat natural purple sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka combines a classic oval cut with a distinctive color, offering a lovely starting point for a custom ring or pendant. Its compact size suits delicate jewelry designs that let the gemstone bring a touch of personality.
Completely earth sourced, this loose sapphire has received no treatments, including heat treatment. It is a thoughtful choice for buyers who appreciate untreated sapphires and the individual character of natural gemstones.

very nice colour
Lovely stone and packaged very nicely.
Correct size and weigh.
Fast delivery
I LOVE my ring, thank you so much Sapphirepal
It fits perfectly and I love the setting too. The stones are stunning!!!
Thank you again for delivering quality and helpful support.
Before making a purchase, I inquired if they would also create a setting for whichever gemstone I chose. After they confirmed they would, I found the most beautiful purple/lavender sapphire. I purchase the stone and then sent them the vision I have for the setting. They delivered 100% of what I asked for and even more I could’ve dreamed of. The east to west half bezel sapphire ring is truly breathtaking. Communication was easy, fast and they were super honest about delays and whatnot. Even when I changed my mind on a few details in the beginning, they were so kind and had no problem adjusting what I asked for or confirming any questions I had. I’m so thankful to have worked with Sapphire Pal. Truly, thank you for bringing my sapphire ring dream to life! <3
Smaller than anticipated but absolutely beautiful 😄 Shipping was quick, and it was handled with care.
鑑別書もあって安心感があって良かった。
I had a very positive experience purchasing from SapphirePal. Pete was responsive, patient and professional throughout the process, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. He also provided additional photos and videos when requested, which was very helpful when buying a gemstone online.
The stone arrived safely, well packaged and as described, with the certification included. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience, and I would happily recommend SapphirePal!
Absolutely stunning purchase once again from Sapphirepal 🤩 thsnk you !!
Very happy with colour and cut. A really pretty stone that I look forward to seeing as jewellery.
OMG, just spectacular, and excellent quality. Thanks again for your wonderful service and super quick postage time. I can't wait until I find my next precious gem.
Just stunning. I love this bi- Color sapphire. Flawless to look at, and expertly packaged and presented for my collection. Communication and postage time were exceptional. Thank you. I can’t wait until I have saved enough for my next special gem.
This gemstone is just perfect. My only criticism is the photos on your site were not the best quality for me. However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
Very good quality sapphires and fast shipping! Thank you!
