1.10 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Africa

When you are searching for a single stone that will bring an engagement story to life or complete a curated collection with a piece that feels truly unique, your priorities are clarity of vision, assurance of quality, and certainty that the gem you choose is rare, not mass produced. This 1.10 carat cushion pink sapphire answers all of those priorities with quiet confidence. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that customers want more than a pretty color, they want provenance, honesty about enhancements, and a gem with presence. This sapphire arrives with those assurances, and with the rare combination of size and color that makes it a finishing stone for a one of a kind piece, whether you envision a delicate halo ring, a bold solitaire, or a pendant that draws the eye.

The technical details speak to why this gem stands apart, and why it will satisfy a customer seeking exceptional rarity. This is a transparent, 1.10 carat cushion shaped pink sapphire, with precise proportions of 5.94 x 5.72 x 3.35 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and movement. Its clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, a realistic and honest description that tells you the stone has natural internal character without compromising its beauty when set, and its polish is excellent which enhances light return across the table and facets. The color is described as medium intensity, a sweet and desirable balance that reads as true pink with enough saturation to make the stone feel present and lively when viewed in hand. Crucially for collectors and discerning buyers, the stone has no enhancement, a trait that immediately elevates its rarity and long term value, and it comes from Africa, a source known for producing distinct and characterful sapphires.

It is rare to find a natural pink sapphire that pairs this carat weight with unenhanced clarity and medium color intensity. Many pink sapphires on the market are available in smaller sizes, or they rely on heat or other treatments to intensify color and clarity. When you require genuine rarity for a special commission or for an investment grade addition to a cabinet, you will notice the difference. The cushion shape is especially flattering, offering soft rounded corners and a generous face up area that makes a 1.10 carat stone look substantial without overwhelming a delicate mounting. The mixed brilliant cut gives the stone lively scintillation, and because the polish is excellent each facet edge catches light cleanly, creating an impression of liveliness and depth. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level to a trained grader but gentle to the naked eye in everyday wear, serve as a fingerprint of natural origin, reassuring a buyer that this gem is unaltered and authentically formed.

If your goal is a once in a lifetime engagement ring, or a singular natural specimen for a collection, this cushion pink sapphire offers a rare combination of attributes that will let you stop searching. The size is uncommon among natural, unenhanced pink sapphires, the medium color sits in a range that flatters most skin tones and translates beautifully into jewelry under varied lighting, and the African origin adds a layer of provenance prized by connoisseurs. Because availability is limited for stones with this profile, we recommend contacting The Natural Sapphire Company to reserve viewing, to discuss setting options, and to arrange for detailed imagery and measurements. Our team will guide you through setting ideas that make the most of the stone, from bespoke settings that highlight the cushion face up area, to classic designs that emphasize the pure, unenhanced beauty of this sapphire. Your search for a rare, honest, and memorable gemstone ends here, with a piece that promises both everyday wearability and collector appeal.
