Pink sapphires are a special kind of wonder. The stone’s hardness is second only to diamonds and the luster is unmatched. Since the stone is so hard, stone cutters have the enviable task of getting to cut these glam rocks with intense faceting and crisp edges. This unlocks the incredible hues of this particularly popular shade of sapphire.
These little princesses most often hail from Sri Lanka or Madagascar. Sri Lanka has mined pink sapphire across the island for thousands of years. Probably the most famous kind of pink sapphires—the padparadscha—comes from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. On the other hand, Madagascar much more recently made a name for itself in the world of pink sapphires. The gem was found on that southwest portion of the island in 1998 in a town of 40 people (there are now tens of thousands of residents in that same town thanks to “sapphire fever”). The similar quality of pink sapphire on these two islands make sense considering that eons ago Madagascar and Sri Lanka were neighbors though they are now nearly 3,000 miles apart.
This perfect pop of pink perfection is probably one of the most amazing pink sapphires we’ve come across. She even has a little tickle of orange, which makes this color even more rare than regular pink sapphire. There is nothing regular about this 1.19ct stone, set in our buttery 18K gold cuff.
