Purple Sapphires: Everything You Need To Know About The Gemstone

Sapphires aren't just blue, babe - they’re a full-on rainbow dream! From romantic peach tones to mesmerizing teals, these gemstones know how to keep us on our toes. But today, we’re head over heels for one shade in particular: purple! 

Whether soft lavender or rich violet, purple sapphires add an enchanting, modern twist to classic fine jewelry Let’s explore what gives this hue its royal glow, and swoon over some of our favorite rings that celebrate it!

What Makes Purple Sapphires Purple?

Great question, gem lover! While sapphires naturally come in many colors, the hue you see in purple sapphires is thanks to trace elements like chromium, iron, and titanium. These minerals team up during crystal formation to create that magical mix of red and blue tones - giving the stone its signature lavender-to-deep-plum sparkle!

Whether you're after something soft and ethereal or bold and moody, there’s a purple sapphire ready to steal your heart - like the ones we are about to mention below!
