Pink Rough Sapphire from Madagascar 4.07 carats – 10x8 mm

Pink sapphires are the perfect way to add a touch of luxury and elegance to any outfit or jewelry collection. And because they are natural and unprocessed, they are also a great investment.

The name "sapphire" comes from the Greek word "sapphiros", which means "blue". In ancient times, it was believed that sapphires have a very powerful power. Although blue sapphires are the most well-known variety, pink sapphires are becoming increasingly popular, especially as an alternative to pink diamonds, which can be quite expensive.

In many cultures, pink sapphires are also associated with trust, loyalty, sincerity, and intense love. This is why they have become a popular choice for wedding rings, especially among brides who want something unique and feminine. Natural pink sapphires perfectly complement the wedding themes in soft pink tones.

One of the reasons why pink sapphires are cheaper than pink diamonds is that diamonds are much rarer. While diamonds form deep in the bowels of the earth, pink sapphires form closer to the surface, which means that there are many more of them. However, this does not mean that pink sapphires are less beautiful or valuable. Some pink sapphires can be just as rare and valuable, but still have the same quality as diamonds, depending on their size, quality, and color intensity.

Since pink sapphires are considered lighter colored stones, their rarity and beauty make them highly prized gems. Whether raw or framed, pink sapphires are a luxurious and unique addition to any collection. These stones are less common than sapphires of other colors, which determines their high value. Any stone larger than half a carat is preserved exactly in this size to preserve the few large pink sapphires that still exist.

Pink sapphires are considered extremely rare due to their limited geographical distribution around the world. The main deposits of these stones are in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and East Africa. However, thanks to the discovery of pink sapphires in Madagascar in the late 1990s, they have become a little more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
