0.85 ct Pink Sapphire - Round

At 0.85 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its pink color through a round cut, measuring 5.4 x 3.8 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
