1.87 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This oval pink sapphire presents a precise weight of 1.87 carats, a specification that anchors its position as a premium gem within its class. Carat weight is a fundamental indicator of presence and scale in colored gemstones, and at 1.87 carats this stone offers both visual impact and practical suitability for a wide range of fine jewellery settings. The weight is notable for a vivid pink sapphire, providing a substantial face up size without compromising the balance and proportion typically desired in an oval shape. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize that carat weight, when combined with clarity, color intensity and cut quality, is central to determining the overall premium character of a gemstone, and this piece demonstrates a considered convergence of those factors.

The sapphire measures 7.82 by 5.72 by 4.87 millimetres, and the oval outline has been executed with a mixed brilliant cut to optimize light return and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cutting style blends pavilion facets that enhance depth and brilliance with a crown facet arrangement that favors lively reflections, resulting in a gem that sparkles across multiple viewing angles. The polish is graded excellent, confirming a high level of lapidary finish that contributes to crisp facet junctions and a clean, uninterrupted window through the girdle into the pavilion. The combination of the oval form, mixed brilliant architecture, and excellent polish produces an elegant visual presentation and a stone that sits attractively in both solitaire and multi stone designs.

Clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included when assessed at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minor and do not materially detract from the gem appearance in normal viewing conditions. The stone is transparent, and the very slightly included clarity supports strong light transmission and vibrant internal fire. The color is described as vivid in intensity, a key determinant of market desirability for pink sapphires, and the saturation yields a pronounced and even pink tone throughout the gem. The sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used to refine color and clarity, and the treatment is disclosed to provide full transparency about the stone condition. The origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing strong, well saturated pink sapphires, and provenance is recorded as part of our standard documentation for authenticated gemstones.

Taken together the weight, cut, clarity, color intensity, polish, treatment and origin create a coherent profile of premium quality. At 1.87 carats the sapphire is large enough to serve as a distinguished centre stone for a bespoke engagement ring or a refined statement piece, while remaining versatile for various design approaches. The vivid color intensity paired with the excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut ensures that the stone reads vividly in hand and on the finger, and the very slightly included clarity grade indicates a gem that is essentially eye clean with natural character under magnification. The Natural Sapphire Company provides full certification and documentation for each gemstone, supporting informed selection and long term confidence in the gem attributes. This pink sapphire combines measurable specifications and aesthetic virtues that collectively represent a high quality example of its type.
