1.04 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent oval shape pink sapphire weighs 1.04 carat, and measures 5.97 x 4.62 x 4.11 mm. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a faceted crown designed for fire with a pavilion that supports strong return of light, and it is finished with an excellent polish. Clarity is graded slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning small natural characteristics are present but do not detract from the overall visual appeal. The color presents with intense color intensity, a vivid and well saturated pink that traces its origin to Madagascar. Enhancement is heat treated, a widely accepted process that stabilizes and enhances the color. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone with a clear description of its attributes so that you can assess suitability for a variety of settings.

Under different lighting conditions this sapphire will present distinct but complementary appearances. In natural daylight, especially on clear days, the intense pink will appear lively and saturated, with the mixed brilliant facets producing scintillation and separated flashes of light across the surface. In direct sunlight the stone will show stronger contrast and bright pinpoint flashes, which emphasize the brilliance of the cut. Under diffuse or overcast daylight the color will read slightly cooler and more uniform, making the pink appear softer and more even. Under warm incandescent light the sapphire will lean toward its warmer undertones, revealing subtle red or peach notes and a rich overall warmth. Under cool LED lighting the stone will retain its vivid pink, with the facets tending to emphasize cooler pink and slight violet undertones depending on the LED spectrum. The excellent polish supports strong surface reflection in all lighting, and the mixed brilliant cut balances sparkle with depth. Slight inclusions may become more apparent when viewed from certain angles or in very bright directional light, but in typical viewing conditions the combined effect of cut, color, and polish produces a lively, intensely colored pink sapphire suitable for elegant mounting.
