1.07 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.07 carat pink sapphire is a striking example of what informed buyers seek when they look for color, clarity, and provenance. Emerald cut, with dimensions of 5.89 x 5.32 x 3.26 mm, this stone displays an elegant step cut that emphasizes pure color and clarity rather than sparkle alone. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, the stone reads as transparent and clean to the naked eye, with minor internal features that do not distract from overall beauty. The color intensity is intense, delivering a saturated pink that remains vivid even under varied lighting, and the polish has been given an excellent finish that enhances light return from each step facet. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and shows no enhancement, a quality that materially affects long term value and desirability. Its origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with strong, pure hues and excellent crystal quality, and this provenance contributes to both the gemological interest and the market recognition of the piece.

The carat weight of 1.07 is a central factor in the gem valuation and in how collectors and connoisseurs perceive rarity. In the world of sapphire buying, crossing the one carat threshold is meaningful, because larger untreated stones of intense color become exponentially less common. While two gems of identical color can differ in value based on clarity and cut, weight amplifies those attributes by making the present color and clarity available on a larger face up area, which in turn affects presence and visual impact in a finished design. At 1.07 carats the proportions here are balanced, with the emerald cut optimizing color saturation while retaining good depth, measured at 3.26 mm. That depth ensures the intense color remains rich rather than washed out, while the table and step facets align to present a stable, even color across the table. From a gemological standpoint, the combination of mid one carat weight, intense color intensity, and very very slightly included clarity makes this a piece that will perform well both as investment and as a centerpiece in fine jewelry, because it is large enough to be visually significant and small enough to be set in a variety of classic or contemporary styles without requiring extreme settings to secure value.

For designers and discerning buyers, the practical virtues as well as the intangible appeal of this sapphire deserve attention. The emerald cut is particularly suited to settings that showcase hue and clarity, such as solitaire rings with a low profile bezel for everyday wear, or halo settings that enhance apparent size while protecting the girdle. Because the gem is untreated, it retains all natural crystal structure and stability, making it compatible with routine jewelry maintenance and less vulnerable to the concerns that accompany some enhanced stones. The Madagascar origin is valuable to collectors who track sources, because certain deposits have reputations for particular color signatures and crystallography, and this stone fits within that context. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparent information and ethical sourcing, and we can provide full documentation and imagery to support purchase decisions. For an educated buyer considering both aesthetic and long term value, a transparent one carat plus pink sapphire with intense color, excellent polish, and no enhancement represents a rare balance of beauty and market robustness, a rarity that resonates with both emotional and financial metrics in fine gem buying.
