• How to Buy Pink Sapphire

    If you're looking to add a little extra sparkle to your jewelry collection, pink sapphires are an excellent choice. These stunning gemstones are a great alternative to diamonds in terms of price, color and cut.

     

    They are also a more durable gemstone than diamonds and are excellent for rings that you wear every day. They are also much easier to clean than diamonds, so you can use mild dish soap and a soft brush to keep them sparkling.

    Pink Sapphire Rings

     

    There are several different styles of engagement rings to choose from when shopping for a pink sapphire, so you can find one that's perfect for your unique taste and style. You can choose from everything from plain bands to luxe diamond-accented designs. Whatever you decide, make sure to choose a setting that will enhance your gem's beauty and show off its color and size.

     

    Shapes & cuts

     

    The first step is choosing a diamond cutter who knows how to maximize the natural beauty of your stone. You can find pink sapphires cut in all shapes from round to oval and cushion to pear. It's important to review a variety of ring styles before you settle on a shape that you like.

     

    Another key factor in the beauty of your gemstone is its clarity level. Most gemstones are graded according to the "Four Cs" - carat weight, cut, clarity and color. However, with sapphires, the grading process isn't quite as exacting as it is for diamonds.

     

    Clarity grading doesn't have as large an impact on a sapphire's value as it does for diamonds, but it is still worth checking. If you're unsure, you can always take your gemstone to a professional gemologist for a detailed assessment.

     

    Heat treatment is often used on sapphires in order to improve their color and clarity. This process involves heating the stone to high temperatures in order to melt away internal inclusions and improve transparency and clarity.

     

    These heat treatments are typically applied to the top quality sapphires that are available, but they can be applied to lesser quality stones as well. Most unheated sapphires are much rarer than the same-quality heated stones.

     

    Pink Sapphire prices vary depending on the size and quality of each gemstone. A 1-2 carat gemstone will usually sell for $500 to $800 per carat, while a 2+ carat gemstone will generally sell for $1,000 to $5,000 per carat.

     

    There are also many other pink gemstones that you may consider as an option, including pink tourmaline, morganite, and pink spinel. These other pink gems can have a more saturated, medium-pink color than pink sapphire and are more affordable.

    Morganite is a popular pink gemstone alternative that offers the same color as pink sapphire, but at a more affordable price. It's also more readily available in larger sizes and can be cut into a wide range of gemstone shapes.

     

     

    A pink sapphire is a beautiful choice for any ring, whether it's an engagement ring or a casual stud earring. It can be an especially appealing choice for women who want to add a pop of color to their jewelry. Unlike diamonds, pink sapphires are hard and durable, making them an excellent choice for rings that you'll wear everyday.
