Pink Sapphire Jewelry Quality
Pink Sapphire gemstones are uniquely classified due to their distinct color. The quality of a Pink Sapphire depends largely on the quality of its color. The hue, tone, intensity, or saturation of the Pink Sapphire gets its beautiful pink color due to the addition of iron and titanium impurities in the gemstone. Being so rare in nature and expensive, certain parameters have to be considered and based on that the value, quality, and authenticity of the gemstone can be evaluated. The parameters include Origin, Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight.
Origin
: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, Africa and Pakistan are some important mining locations that resource fine quality natural Pink Sapphires to the gemstone industry. Just like rubies, Burmese Pink Sapphire is known for its high aesthetics, historical significance and immense rarity and therefore considered highly sought-after. Some natural Pink Sapphire Ceylon (Sri Lankan) or Madagascar Pink Sapphire stones can also enter the league of the top-quality gem if they have an exceptional color and clarity.
Color
: Color has an impact on determining the value of Pink Sapphire Jewelry. It can range from light pink to baby pink, deep pink, violet-pink, peach pink, rosy pink, hot pink and intense magenta pink. Generally, the highly saturated, medium to dark Pink Sapphire is considered probably the best but the selection of tone really depends on the individual’s personal preference. Sapphires with bright and deep hues with a tinge of purple fetch a high price. Better the color saturation and tone, higher a sapphire cost. Purple Pink Sapphire, Dark Pink Sapphire, and Hot Pink Sapphire are some of the most demanded varieties of sapphires.
Clarity
: Pink Sapphire comes under Type II clarity gemstone. Natural Pink Sapphires generally have inclusions. Common inclusions such as fingerprints, rutile, negative crystals, line growth and color zoning are quite common in Pink Sapphire. Sapphires with inclusions not visible to the naked eyes or with merely visible inclusions are widely acceptable.The clearer Pink Sapphires without any outwardly visible inclusion are extremely rare and therefore command a strong market value. One should always look for transparent and sparkly pieces with minimum visible flaws. Such fine quality stones are quite rare and only available at the trusted gem stores.
Cut
: Rough Pink Sapphire is neither easily accessible nor affordable. So, more preference is given to minimizing stone wastage while shaping or refining a pink sapphire raw stone. Oval pink sapphire and round pink sapphire are usually affordable than the gems in fancy cuts (emerald cut Pink Sapphire, princess cut Pink Sapphire and Pink Sapphire heart etc.) because the former ones cause minimum weight loss. While buying a Pink Sapphire, it is always advised to choose a Pink Sapphire that displays the best hue and brilliant luster. Hence, faceted gemstones like Cushion-cut Pink Sapphire, Square Pink Sapphire, Trillion cut Pink Sapphire, Marquise Pink Sapphire cost way more than the stone of similar quality and size but in a custom cut like round or oval.
Uniqueness (Star Pink Sapphire)
: ‘Pink Star Sapphire’ is a rare and unique variety which is relatively expensive. This variety of Pink Sapphire possesses microscopic rutile needles aligned in the perpendicular direction. This gem variety is nearly opaque but displays a beautiful six-rayed star-like effect on its surface when the light strikes this gemstone, just like in Star Ruby. Pink Star Sapphire stone is extremely rare and considered quite precious and hence is more in demand for investment purposes.
Treatment
: Pink sapphires are commonly heat-treated to improve the color and discard color zoning. Natural, unheated Pink sapphires are often more valuable (depending on other factors) than heated or chemically treated gemstones. Lab-created Pink sapphires are often sold as genuine pieces but the astrological aspect is not available then.
