We can’t help but think purple is one of the prettiest colors out there! And while amethyst often steals the spotlight, did you know there are other dazzling purple gemstones you can rock? From regal sapphires to mesmerizing spinels, we’re here to chat about all things purple gemstones and the unique properties and facts that they hold. Let’s dive in!
Amethyst
First up, we have February’s fabulous gem, amethyst! Known as the stone of St. Valentine (fitting, since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner), this birthstone boasts a stunning color palette. From delicate lilac to deep, royal purple (sometimes called raspberry), amethyst is full of personality and charm! One version of our Ultra Petite Heartley shows off a heart cut amethyst stone that rests on her dainty band.

Sapphire
Did you know sapphires rule September and come in an array of colors? That’s right - it’s not just about that classic blue hue! This gemstone, also known as “the stone of wisdom” and “the stone of prosperity”, also comes in a purple hue. They truly are perfect for anyone looking to add a dazzling touch of color to their jewelry collection. Rings like our Juniper and Shannon feature this captivating gemstone, bringing positive vibes your way!

Spinel
Just like sapphires, spinel comes in a variety of shades, including stunning purples and violets! August’s second birthstone owes its gorgeous color to traces of chromium, iron, and cobalt. Fun fact: spinels were once mistaken for rubies, but this beauty shines in a league of its own! Rings like our Ombre and 1.39ct Eluma dazzle with a unique purple hue that is sure to turn heads!

Garnet
Most people think of garnet as a swoon-worthy burgundy hued gemstone, but did you know it also comes in deep purplish-red hues? January’s birthstone even shares a magical trait with alexandrite - it can shift colors depending on the lighting! If you’re looking for a gemstone that symbolizes serenity and peace, garnet is the perfect pick!
Topaz
Last but certainly not least, we have topaz! Thanks to chromium, this gemstone can showcase stunning violet-to-purple shades. Just like garnet and alexandrite, some topaz stones can shift colors in different lighting - talk about a showstopper!
