| | Pink Sapphire - Unheated and Heated Pink Sapphire Gemstones - Certified and GuaranteedBeautiful Collection of Natural Certified Pink Sapphire Loose Gemstones
Pink Sapphire gemstones, are one of the most treasured of all gemstone species. The range of pink sapphire hues and tones is vast. A high quality pink sapphire gemstone must have an intense, vivid pink color. But pink sapphire is really just light red. In the gemstone trade, sapphires with a pink shade are now known either as pink ruby or pink sapphire. Loose, high quality faceted pink sapphire gemstones have always been an AfricaGems trademark. We select our pink sapphires for color, clarity and price. Pink sapphire is very durable and lacks any cleavage, which has made pink sapphire one of the most important precious gemstones for centuries. The most valuable gems come from Sri Lanka, with Madagascar being another important producer. Flaws and inclusions diminish the price more so than in fine rubies. Lighter tone pink sapphires should be relatively free of inclusions, whereas deeper tone pink sapphires can have some inclusions that do not detract from the appearance of the gem. Pink sapphires are commonly heat treated to improve color and clarity, but treated stones do not command the prices that a fine, vivid pink natural color gem does. Many of our sapphire gemstones have been recut in the USA to American standards and cannot be compared to native cut gems. Our USA cut sapphires have unsurpassed brilliance, and a much sharper "look" which makes all the difference in the finished jewelry product.
