1.55 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

A blush like a memory, a stone like a sigh. This transparent 1.55 carat cushion shape pink sapphire arrives as if plucked from the earliest light of morning, its dimensions of 6.95 x 5.29 x 4.65 mm giving it a presence that is both intimate and undeniable. Hailing from the wild mineral riches of Madagascar, this sapphire carries a provenance as romantic as its color, and a story that feels meant to be worn close to the heart. At The Natural Sapphire Company we often speak of beauty in measured terms, yet words falter when a gem like this one appears, rare in both size and hue compared to the finer examples you will encounter. Many pink sapphires of this shade exist only in smaller weights, and many stones of similar carat weight tend toward paler or more muted tones. Here, the marriage of substance and color becomes an uncommon treasure, a promise that what you choose will be singular, noticed, and cherished.

The color of this pink sapphire is a medium intense pink, a tone that sits between tender petal and radiant bloom, neither coyly shy nor boldly declared. In the spectrum of pink sapphires this intensity is a sweet rarity, especially at 1.55 carats, where the balance of saturation and light is difficult to achieve. The mixed brilliant cut unfolds the stone into a thousand small windows of light, each facet carefully placed to catch and return the world in magnificent flashes. An excellent polish heightens that effect, so that each turn of the wrist becomes a small performance of fire and reflection. This gem has been heat treated, a customary enhancement to stabilize and enhance color, performed with respect for the stone so that its natural character remains luminous and true. When compared to alternate options, where either size compromises color or color compromises brilliance, this sapphire stands as a rare compromise conquered, a convergence of scale and hue that feels almost like fate.

Look closely and you will find the human handwriting of the earth, a slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level that lends the stone an honest soul. These slight inclusions do not disturb the gem, they narrate its journey through time and pressure, they validate its natural origin and add depth to the way it captures light. Set within a delicate bezel or cradled by prongs, the cushion silhouette will hug the finger, its rounded corners and generous table offering warmth and comfort. The dimensions of 6.95 x 5.29 x 4.65 mm translate into a visible, wearable scale that reads larger than its weight might suggest, catching attention without presumption. For those seeking an engagement ring that tells a story beyond the ordinary, this pink sapphire offers both a vivid chapter and a quiet paragraph, a jewel that speaks of commitment, of gentleness, of a life shared in soft color and steadfast light.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we treasure pieces like this because they arrive rare in the way a poem is rare, precise and impossible to reproduce.
