1.07 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.07 carat oval pink sapphire from Madagascar presents technically as a transparent, well proportioned gem, measuring 6.80 x 5.74 x 3.20 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that combines crown brilliant faceting and a more faceted pavilion to optimize both fire and color saturation. The mixed brilliant faceting produces a lively play of light across the table and crown facets while preserving a rich, even color through the body of the stone. Color evaluation indicates intense color intensity in the pink range, with hue saturation that remains strong even under varied lighting, and the excellent polish enhances facet crispness and surface reflection. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, meaning minor natural inclusions are present but do not significantly disrupt the overall transparency or brilliance, and under ten times magnification the inclusions are consistent with an untreated, natural corundum. No enhancements have been applied, confirming this sapphire as an untreated natural material, and its corundum hardness provides durable suitability for daily wear, particularly in secure settings that protect the girdle and pavilion.

For custom design, this pink sapphire functions as a versatile focal stone with a range of complementary gemstone and metal pairings that highlight its intense pink tone and mixed brilliant geometry. A slim halo of fine white diamonds will amplify perceived brightness and contrast the pink saturation, choosing small brilliant cut melee with high clarity and excellent cut to mirror the mixed brilliant dynamics of the center stone. Warm metals such as 18 karat rose gold will harmonize with the pink hue, enhancing depth and warmth, while platinum or 18 karat white gold will produce a more contemporary contrast, making the pink read slightly cooler. Pairing options include side stones in pink spinel or padparadscha tone sapphires for a graduated monochromatic cluster, or small green tsavorite garnets for a high contrast complementary accent that emphasizes the sapphire color through color theory. Design choices that respect the stone proportions include a four prong setting to reveal crown faceting and table light return, or a low bezel with polished edge for added protection without sacrificing the mixed brilliant reflections. The Natural Sapphire Company can craft settings with calibrated gallery height and secure prong geometry to preserve the pavilion and ensure optimal light performance, creating a custom piece that balances technical precision and aesthetic impact.
