1.07 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.07 carat round purplish pink sapphire presents a carefully considered combination of optical attributes and cutter intentions, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 5.46 x 5.55 x 4.58 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that balances a brilliant style crown with proportioned pavilion facets to enhance fire and scintillation. The average diameter yields an approximate depth of 83 percent, which indicates a relatively deep pavilion that concentrates color saturation toward the center and accentuates the purplish pink hue at typical viewing distances. Color grading places this sapphire at medium intensity, a range that reads vividly in both daylight and warm light, while the excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and minimal surface abrasion, maximizing light return. Clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, meaning small needle and crystal inclusions are present but do not significantly obstruct the face up window or compromise the gem stability. The gemstone has undergone standard heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves tone and hue uniformity, and this treatment is fully disclosed for transparency.

Ethical sourcing is integral to the value proposition of this sapphire. The material originates in Madagascar, and The Natural Sapphire Company applies direct sourcing relationships and supply chain due diligence to ensure responsible extraction practices, support for artisanal miners, and fair compensation at origin. Our sourcing priorities include traceability, minimized environmental impact during extraction, and investment in local communities where possible, making this piece suitable for the conscious buyer who seeks both provenance and integrity. From a design and collection perspective the stone’s mixed brilliant architecture and medium color intensity make it versatile, performing well as a solitaire in a low to medium profile setting or as the colored center in a cluster or halo where the deep pavilion will concentrate color and the excellent polish will deliver lively sparkle. The sapphire’s natural hardness of nine on the Mohs scale ensures long term wearability when set with appropriate protection for the girdle and pavilion. For clients who prioritize both gemological precision and ethical procurement, this purplish pink Madagascar sapphire represents a technically interesting and conscientious addition to a curated collection, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to discuss bespoke mounting options and provenance documentation.
