Oval vivid pink sapphire of a nice color intensity of 4,61 ct. No indications of heating, this is one of the best colors that nature can produce. When you dive into the stone, the Madagascar origin is obvious and confirmed by the Carat Gem Lab report. Tiny crystal clusters inside the stone help to spread the light everywhere. Beautiful flashes with a slight touch of blue. It's beautiful. The intense color is rare and naturally shines.

Expert notes:
We often ask the same question to gemologists. Is a color this intense due to its cut? Yes and no. A very nice cut, well chosen, not to preserve a maximum of weight but to keep its nicest color, is of course important. All we have to do is look at a pink raw sapphire and another similar but well cut one, the difference is obvious. However, in the case of beautiful sapphires, the color is always intense. The cut will only reveal the inside beauty of the stone, which is begging to shine to its peak. It is the case here.
