Purple Sapphire Round 0.93ct
A natural purple sapphire, round brilliant cut, 0.93 carat and 6.1mm across. This stone comes from Ilakaka, Madagascar, and its purple body color is its own, part of what makes it worth setting. Sapphire is the backbone of Bohemi's work: at Mohs 9 it is plenty hard for a ring worn every day. Diamond at Mohs 10 is harder still, since the scale is not linear, but a sapphire at 9 is genuinely everyday-durable.
Heather and her team hand-select every stone here in Boulder, Colorado. The only treatment ever used on a sapphire is heat, and it is always disclosed. Bohemi does not sell loose stones: this sapphire is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $700 price is the starting point for the ring you build around it.
If purple is not quite your color or you want to see it beside other options, explore the full range of engagement rings.
