Violet Sapphire Oval 2.45Ct 925 Sterling Silver Handmade Stud Earrings

Violet Sapphire Oval 2.45Ct 925 Sterling Silver, Gold Plated Handmade Stud Earrings. The violet colour of these sapphires is truly remarkable! Not only are purple sapphires real, but they're far harder to come by than their blue counterparts. In addition to their rarity, purple sapphire gemstones are regarded as mystical talismans of good fortune and healing, despite their cryptic past. These particular stones are colour-shifting. Many purple and violet sapphires show subtle shifts in color under different kinds of lighting, they will appear violet under daylight or fluorescent lighting, and distinctly purple under incandescent lights. These “color-shift” – as opposed to “color-change” – sapphires are popular with gem connoisseurs, who will pay premiums for stones with strong to vivid saturation and a conspicuous color-shift.
