0.56 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This exquisite pink sapphire from Tanzania is a study in rare refinement, a stone that announces itself with a confident, saturated hue and a presence that feels much larger than its measured dimensions. Weighing 0.56 carat, this transparent oval displays dimensions of 5.28 by 4.52 by 3.08 millimeters, a proportion that balances elegance with presence, and a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to maximize scintillation and return of light. The gem’s intense color intensity is immediately arresting, a vivid, velvety pink that flirts with fuchsia and deeper raspberry tones depending on the light, while an excellent polish gives every facet a mirror-like finish. Evaluated at eye level and graded as very slightly included, the clarity of the stone ensures that the color reads without distraction, and because this sapphire is without enhancement, its tone, saturation, and brilliance are wholly natural, a factor that elevates its desirability among connoisseurs who prize authenticity as much as beauty.

The weight of this sapphire is a defining part of its story, and understanding why 0.56 carat matters will change the way you value this gem. In the world of natural colored gemstones, weight is not merely a measurement, it is a declaration of rarity. While very small stones are found with comparative frequency, every increment above common size thresholds becomes exponentially more scarce, especially when paired with intense, untreated color and superior clarity. A 0.56 carat pink sapphire moves beyond the half-carat benchmark, a tipping point where supply begins to thin and per carat values accelerate, because collectors and designers alike seek the sweet spot where wearability meets investment potential. This particular stone, with its compact yet substantial dimensions and excellent proportions, captures an uncommon balance it feels substantial in the hand, yet maintains the refined restraint that suits the most elegant settings, from a minimalist solitaire to a finely crafted halo or three-stone composition.

Owning a gem of this caliber is an achievement and a statement, it speaks to refined taste and an appreciation for nature’s most selective treasures. The combination of Tanzanian origin, intense natural color, mixed brilliant cut, and no enhancement marks this pink sapphire as a collector’s choice, something that will distinguish bespoke jewellery for years to come.
