1.72 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 1.72 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire awaits the collector or the romantic who values both rarity and story. This gem measures 6.77 by 6.00 by 4.93 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut marries fire and depth in a form that has been cherished for centuries. The clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, allowing the light to travel through the stone with exceptional clarity while preserving the natural character that tells of its earthly birth. The color is vivid in intensity, a rare and compelling balance between pink warmth and a whisper of purple that gives the gem its distinctive personality. The polish is excellent, each facet honed to reflect and refract light with lively scintillation. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and fine tune the hue, a time honored practice that enhances beauty while respecting the stone. The origin is Madagascar, a source celebrated in modern gemology for producing sapphires of remarkable color diversity, and this piece is presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company, a house committed to quality, heritage, and responsible gem stewardship.

Sapphires have been woven through human history as symbols of wisdom, nobility, and protection, and the pink sapphire carries that lineage into realms of affection, devotion, and quiet strength. The cushion shape itself is steeped in history, a classic silhouette that echoes the softened corners of old world gems and the comfort of heirlooms worn through generations. A cushion sapphire made in a mixed brilliant cut speaks to a design philosophy that honors tradition while embracing refined brilliance. This is a gem that invites stories, suited for an engagement ring that will be passed down, or a pendant that will mark a lifetime of milestones. Its purplish pink tone connects to the subtlety of antique palettes and the elegance of salon jewelry, while still feeling modern and wearable. To set this sapphire is to continue a legacy, to choose an emblem of everlasting values, and to select a jewel that will age with grace, gaining not only provenance but the history of a family or an individual life.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this purplish pink sapphire is associated with a range of metaphysical qualities that have been ascribed to sapphires across cultures and eras. Pink sapphires are often linked to the heart, resonating with emotions of love, compassion, and gentle healing. The addition of purple undertones brings an element of spiritual attunement, a bridge between emotional wisdom and higher insight. Carriers of similar sapphires have sought comfort in times of change, using the gem as a focus for cultivating inner calm, resilience, and clarity of intention. It is said to soothe anxieties, allowing the wearer to face challenges with a composed heart, while encouraging expressions of kindness and authenticity. For those who work with energy systems, this stone may be used to align and open the heart center, supporting the release of old wounds and the restoration of trust in relationships and in oneself. Simultaneously, the subtle purple aspect can aid in quietening mental chatter, fostering clearer thought and a meditative receptivity that invites intuition and insight. In daily life this translates into confidence that is both tender and steadfast, a capacity to love without losing discernment.
