AAA 1.38 CARAT OVAL FACET IOLITE

Jewelry designers have long searched for an affordable gem to complement the rich blues so prevalent in fashion, from denim to velvet. They found it in iolite, an unusual gem that offers rich blue color that won't break the bank.

Named from the Greek ios , or violet, iolite at its best is a rich violet blue that might remind you of better-known gems like tanzanite and sapphire.
