1.53 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Africa

This pink sapphire weighs 1.53 carats, presented in an emerald cut with measured dimensions of 7.47 x 6.39 x 3.33 mm, and displays transparent bodycolor with a medium color intensity. The stone has been graded with a clarity of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and benefits from an excellent polish that enhances its table transparency and facet definition. The sapphire has received routine heat treatment to improve color and clarity, a commonly accepted and stable enhancement for corundum, and its geological origin is Africa. These verified details are provided by The Natural Sapphire Company to assist precise evaluation and design planning.

The emerald cut emphasizes the sapphire’s soft pink hue through broad step facets and a generous table, producing a composed optical character rather than intense scintillation. This faceting style creates parallel planes of light and subtle flash, which accentuates the gem’s color uniformity and internal geometry. With medium color intensity the pink reads as a delicate, refined tone, neither pastel faint nor deeply saturated, making it visually versatile. The slightly included clarity grade means there are minor internal features visible under close inspection, but the excellent polish and the emerald cut’s step facets work together to present a clean face up appearance in most lighting conditions.

The gem’s proportions and aesthetic suit both understated daytime jewelry and more formal evening pieces, making it appropriate for a range of settings in modern and classic designs. In a solitaire ring the emerald cut offers architectural simplicity and an elegant finger presence, while a halo or three stone composition can add contrast and perceived size without masking the gem’s color. The pink tone pairs naturally with rose gold for tonal harmony, with yellow gold for a warmer contrast, and with white metals for a crisper, contemporary presentation. The sapphire’s hardness and toughness, as a corundum species, make it well suited to regular wear assuming proper protective design choices such as low profile prongs or partial bezel options to reduce exposure to hard impacts.

Care and mounting recommendations are straightforward and align with standard practices for natural sapphires. Cleaning with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush maintains surface luster and avoids undue stress to the setting, and professional inspection after initial setting is advisable to ensure prong security around the stone. Although heat treatment is stable, avoid exposing the mounted jewel to extreme, uncontrolled thermal shocks or household chemicals that could affect the mounting. When commissioning a finished piece, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance on metal choice, setting style, and construction techniques that preserve both the visual character and structural security of the sapphire, and documentation detailing the gem’s attributes will accompany the purchase for reference in appraisal and insurance contexts.
