This natural sapphire is an oval-cut stone weighing 1.23 carats, with a light pinky purple color sourced from Marapana, Sri Lanka. At the visible price of $930, it measures 6.93 x 5.78mm, a well-proportioned center stone for an engagement ring. As a corundum gemstone, sapphire sits at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which makes it an excellent choice for everyday wear.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each sapphire is set into an engagement ring or built into a custom project designed with you, whether that means the Olympia setting, the Arcadia Small setting, or a one-of-a-kind piece. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-set every stone, working in platinum or reclaimed 10k, 14k, and 18k gold.

Sri Lankan sapphires are prized for their clarity and soft color range, and this pinky purple hue reads romantic without leaning cool or icy.
