4.17 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a superb transparent 4.17 carat heart shape pink sapphire, with exact dimensions of 9.99 x 10.50 x 5.07 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and light return, the medium intense pink hue is lively and attractive for both fine jewelry and collector holdings, clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level which in practice means pleasing transparency with minor internal features that do not detract from face up beauty, the polish is excellent, there has been no enhancement, and the sapphire originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing vibrant pastel and intense pink tones. The heart shape offers a romantic and feminine silhouette while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern creates a balanced interplay of fire and brilliance, the stone sits beautifully on the finger as demonstrated in the photos, and the combination of unenhanced natural color, sizeable carat weight, and quality cutting make this piece a distinctive example of pink sapphire material available through The Natural Sapphire Company.

From an investment perspective, natural unenhanced pink sapphires of this size and color category are increasingly sought after by collectors and investors who value provenance, clarity, and untreated color, Madagascar has become an important player in the colored gemstone market and fine stones from this origin that show medium intense saturation command premium attention, the 4.17 carat weight crosses a threshold where per carat prices typically rise more steeply than for smaller sizes, and the heart shape in a higher carat weight is rarer and thus tends to hold value. While no gemstone investment can be guaranteed, historically well documented, natural, and untreated sapphires with demonstrable origin have shown steady appreciation as supply is finite and demand from informed buyers grows, proper documentation and gemological certification enhance liquidity and market confidence, and we recommend buyers consider independent lab reports if acquisition for investment is primary. The Natural Sapphire Company is committed to providing full disclosure on origin, treatment status, and cutting details, and we can assist with certification, secure storage advice, and long term care recommendations to help preserve the gem’s beauty and potential for future appreciation.
