The elongated 7.44 x 4.80 mm proportions create a slender silhouette that distinguishes it from the more common oval and cushion shapes in the pink sapphire market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sapphire has not undergone any heat treatment, preserving its natural colour as formed in the earth. Unheated Ceylon pink sapphires command a premium for their rarity. Fewer than 5% of sapphires reach the market without treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sapphire originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the world’s premier source of fine coloured gemstones for over two millennia. Ceylon pink sapphires owe their colour to trace amounts of chromium within the corundum crystal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arctic Gem Certification Laboratory (AGCL) has confirmed its natural origin, unheated status, and pink colour on the accompanying certificate. For an unheated stone, this certification is particularly important, as it verifies that no enhancement has been applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Pink Sapphire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt $650 AUD for an unheated Ceylon pink sapphire over one carat, this stone represents exceptional value. Light pink sapphires are increasingly sought after for engagement rings and fine jewellery, where their subtle colour offers a sophisticated alternative to bolder pinks and traditional colourless diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rectangle cut gives this sapphire a modern, architectural look that works well in east-west ring settings, bezel-set pendants, and minimalist designs. At 7.44 x 4.80 mm, the stone provides generous face-up coverage. Sapphires rate 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them ideal for everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pink-sapphire\"\u003eBrowse our full Ceylon Pink Sapphire collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ceylon-pink-sapphire-2-55ct-radiant-unheated\"\u003eCompare: 2.55ct Unheated Ceylon Pink Sapphire Radiant\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this pink sapphire heated?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This sapphire is completely unheated and untreated.
