2.04 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This C.Dunaigre certified Pink 2.04 carat radiant shape purplish pink sapphire measures 7.03 x 6.89 x 4.57 mm, and presents as a transparent, faceted gem with a radiant cut that maximizes fire and brilliance. The stone carries a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable clarity for natural sapphires that allows the rich color to remain the dominant visual attribute. Color intensity is classified as intense, a highly desirable attribute for pink and purplish pink sapphires, giving the gem a vivid presence without the need for enhancement. The polish is excellent, and importantly, there has been no enhancement to the stone, which adds to its rarity and value for discerning buyers. Origin is Madagascar, a region known for producing sapphires with vibrant, complex color zoning that can be particularly prized among collectors. The certification from C.Dunaigre provides independent verification of these attributes, establishing provenance and technical documentation that you will find useful for appraisal and insurance.

For an educated buyer thinking in terms of longevity and legacy, this purplish pink radiant sapphire is an outstanding candidate to become a generational heirloom. Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which coupled with the excellent polish and a well executed radiant cut, ensures resilience to daily wear when set in a secure mounting. The fact that the stone is untreated is significant, because natural, unenhanced color preserves market desirability over time as treatments and their prevalence evolve. The radiant shape is both contemporary and timeless, offering versatility for ring, pendant, or classic solitaire settings, and making future resizing or resetting straightforward without compromising the gemstone. To convert this sapphire into a family heirloom, we recommend a durable setting in platinum or high karat gold with protective prongs or a bezel, accompanied by the C.Dunaigre certificate, a professional appraisal, and periodic cleaning and inspection. These steps maintain the gem condition and provenance, and ensure that the piece can be insured and passed down with confidence. At The Natural Sapphire Company we provide guidance on settings and documentation to help you create a piece that will retain its beauty, integrity, and value across generations.
