Pink sapphires draw attention thanks to their delightful colors. With pinks, orangey pinks to more purplish pinks these gems derive their demand from their eye-clean appearances that sparkle beautifully in daylight. Some factors that contribute to the value of these pinks are :

Color: Based on the gem's hue, tone, and saturation, the color of the pink sapphire speak for itself. The intensity of its color paired with less dark, black tones and a nice even pink adds value to the gem. Often rarity and value go hand in hand and reddish-pink gemstones demand higher price tags. Colored by the element chromium, lighter shades of pink are often an elegant choice that is just as feminine and pretty. Deep Fuschia pinks can fetch values from Rs 10,000 To Rs 100,000 A carat.

Cut: Pink sapphires are cut as smaller-sized gems as a result of smaller-sized rough availability. Cut as faceted gems often in squares, ovals, cushions, and even fancy cuts, its faceting lends an unmatched brilliance as light reflects off the perfectly oriented facets. Easily found in more commercial shapes and sizes, pink sapphires come in a range of values.

Clarity: Exuding delicacy, with their color, the pink sapphire is frequently a clear gemstone with a glass-like, vitreous appearance. With excellent internal reflections, pink sapphires have faint needles and tiny crystals often invisible to the naked eye. Gems with eye-clean appearances demand higher values.

Origin: Today a popular source for these marvelous pinks is Madagascar. Unrivaled in quality and color with an even uniform color, gems from this island are small yet full of brilliance. Srilanka, Thailand, Tanzania, Kashmir, and Myanmar are some other sources for these rosy gems.

Treatments: Always invest in a gemstone that is supported by a third-party certificate. Treatments are often done to improve the appearance of a gemstone but must be disclosed at the time of purchase. When it comes to the pink sapphire some common treatments are heating to improve the gems color and glass fillings that can hide internal breaks within the gemstone. A reliable certificate always details the treatments done on each gemstone. Treatments tend to drop the value of a pink sapphire considerably.
