5.26 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

Owning a truly exceptional gemstone is an invitation to belong to a very small and discerning circle, and this one of a kind pear shaped reddish pink sapphire from Madagascar is the kind of rarity that creates that invitation. At 5.26 carats, with dimensions of 14.30 x 9.12 x 5.27 mm, this stone sits in a size range that is extraordinarily uncommon for reddish pink sapphires, a hue that more often appears in smaller gemstones or in paler tones. The color intensity here is vivid, a saturated reddish pink that is alive and dynamic under both natural daylight and interior lighting, and its transparency allows that color to sing without obstruction. Collectors and connoisseurs know that large sapphires with this degree of saturation are seldom available, and because such examples are found even less frequently in a graceful pear shape, this gem represents an opportunity to acquire something genuinely rare and museum calibre, a centerpiece that will remain coveted for generations.

Beyond its compelling color and size, the gem has been expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes both depth and fire while preserving the elegance of a pear silhouette. The proportions and facet arrangement deliver an animated play of light, with scintillating highlights and a luminous body that gives the stone presence on the hand. The polish is excellent, which enhances the stone s surface luster and maximizes that bright, lively face up appearance. Clarity has been assessed as slightly included at eye level, a truthful and transparent evaluation that means the minor natural inclusions do not distract from the gem s overall beauty and often serve as a fingerprint of origin and authenticity. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies its vivid tone while preserving the integrity of the crystal. Its Madagascar origin further elevates its story, since sapphires from that island are celebrated for their fine color and strong saturation, and finding a specimen of this caliber and size from Madagascar is an infrequent and prized occurrence.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gemstone not as a commodity, but as a singular treasure that offers bespoke possibilities for a client who seeks something exceptional. The pear shape and generous dimensions translate beautifully into several high level design directions, from a classic solitaire ring that commands attention with understated elegance, to a bespoke custom piece that sets the stone amid complementary side gems that accentuate its vivid reddish pink without competing with it. Because examples of this weight and hue are so scarce, it will appeal to collectors who appreciate rarity, to patrons who desire a signature engagement or anniversary gem that is truly unique, and to designers who want a strong focal gemstone for couture jewelry. We can arrange independent gemological documentation upon request, and our team can advise on setting styles and metal choices that will protect the stone while showcasing its brilliance.

This sapphire is available through The Natural Sapphire Company in strictly limited quantity, in other words it is a single, distinct gem and not part of a repeating production run. That scarcity is what defines its value and what makes ownership a special distinction, placing the buyer among an elite group of jewelry collectors and patrons who possess pieces that are both beautiful and uncommon. If you are interested in reserving this gem, commissioning a bespoke setting, or arranging a private viewing, our specialists are ready to guide you through every detail from secure appraisal to design and delivery. For those who understand the language of fine gemstones, a rare reddish pink sapphire of this size, proportion, and origin represents a rare chance to own a lasting symbol of rarity, craftsmanship, and refined taste.
