1.10 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

If you are searching for a signature stone that ends your quest for rarity and refinement, this 1.10 carat pinkish purple sapphire is exactly the answer. Cut into a classic emerald shape, this gem measures 6.37 x 4.92 x 3.28 mm, and presents a transparent body with an intense, saturated color that reads both romantic and modern. At The Natural Sapphire Company we look for gems that do more than sparkle, they communicate a story, and this Madagascar sapphire speaks of warm sunsets, subtle individuality, and a quality that promises to become a cherished heirloom. With a clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and with an excellent polish that lets light glide across its step facets, this stone captures attention whether set as the centerpiece in an engagement ring or kept as a rare collectible for an informed curatorial eye.

The emerald cut is particularly flattering for this tone, because the long step facets create broad flashes of color rather than a scattered brilliance, so every movement reveals those pink and purple nuances in a way that feels sophisticated and deliberate. Because the sapphire is unenhanced, you are seeing the gemstone exactly as it formed in Madagascar, with natural depth and complexity of hue. The transparency and VVS clarity mean that the pavilion and table work together to showcase uninterrupted color fields, while the excellent polish provides mirror smooth facet planes that enhance those fields without distraction. This combination of cut, clarity, and polish makes the gem versatile, it will sit confidently in close contact with metal and smaller stones, and it will read a size larger than its carat weight might suggest when worn on the hand.

For a custom piece that elevates this pinkish purple emerald cut sapphire, consider complementary stones and metal choices that enhance its unique character. For contrast and classic elegance pair it with bright white diamonds in a halo or channel setting, the icy white will lift the pink tones and frame the clean lines of the emerald cut. For a more romantic palette combine it with soft pink sapphires or morganite accents, this will create a tonal gradient that feels cohesive and feminine. If you prefer modern geometry, choose tapered baguette diamonds at the shoulders, they echo the step facets and emphasize the stone length, or select small emerald cut side stones for a symmetry driven design that reads as architectural and refined. Metal choices will change the emotional tone, platinum or white gold will sharpen the color and present a crisp contemporary look, rose gold will add warmth and deepen the pink component for a vintage inspired romance, yellow gold will deliver bold contrast and a striking halo effect. For a truly unique composition consider small green sapphires or chrome tourmalines as side accents, the green will sit opposite the pinkish purple on the color wheel and create a lively, luxurious contrast that looks intentional and museum worthy.

When you wear this sapphire you will notice how its intense color and stepped facets create an elegant presence on the finger, it projects confidence without overwhelming, and because it is unheated it carries an authenticity that collectors and sentimental buyers both appreciate. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can help you visualize the final piece with CAD renderings and metal and stone mockups, and we can recommend settings that protect the corners of the emerald cut while allowing light to activate the pavilion and table. We stand behind provenance and transparency, the Madagascar origin and the absence of enhancement are meaningful to those who value natural history and gemological integrity. If your goal is a modern engagement ring that feels unique, or a rare piece for an exquisite private collection, this 1.10 carat, 6.37 x 4.92 x 3.28 mm emerald cut pinkish purple sapphire is the perfect solution, elegant enough for a lifetime of wear and special enough to become the center of every story you tell.
