2.98 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent C. Dunaigre certified Vivid Pink sapphire weighs 2.98 carats, it is cut in an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 10.61 by 7.93 by 4.33 millimeters, and it displays a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire while retaining weight. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when set, and the polish is excellent which enhances surface luster and light return. The stone is untreated, with no enhancement reported, and its origin is Madagascar, a source that has produced a growing number of richly saturated pink sapphires in recent years. Proportions are well considered for an oval, the length to width ratio is approximately 1.34, and the depth is approximately 46.7 percent, dimensions that contribute to balanced brilliance and strong face up color, characteristics that are attractive to both connoisseurs and cutters planning bespoke settings.

From an investment perspective this vivid pink sapphire presents multiple attributes that support potential future appreciation, the most important being its combination of vivid color, near 3 carat weight, and lack of treatment. Untreated, richly saturated pink sapphires of this size are comparatively rare, and rarity combined with strong color intensity typically increases desirability among collectors and high net worth buyers. The C. Dunaigre certification adds provenance and independent verification, reducing market friction at resale, and the Madagascar origin is increasingly recognized for producing high quality material that commands premium prices. While no investment is guaranteed, historically fine natural colored gemstones, especially untreated stones with excellent color and clarity, have shown steady demand and a limited supply profile, which supports long term value retention and potential appreciation. This sapphire is well suited for a signature ring or pendant, where its vivid hue will remain visible and marketable, and The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with secure purchasing, custom mounting, and providing the full certification details that informed buyers require.
