At over three carats with nearly 10mm of length, the oval mixed cut showcases a rich medium pink colour across 9.97 x 7.25 mm of face-up coverage. Proportions that will dominate any jewellery setting. Pink sapphires of this size are genuinely scarce, and unheated examples over 3 carats represent a tier of rarity that places this stone firmly in investment territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium pink hue strikes a sophisticated balance: deep enough to read as unmistakably pink from across a room, yet refined enough to pair with both rose gold and platinum settings. This is not a pale pastel or a neon hot pink. It is the classic, balanced Ceylon pink that has made Sri Lankan sapphires the benchmark for the colour worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sapphire originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the island that has defined the standard for fine pink sapphires for centuries. The alluvial gem deposits of Sri Lanka’s hill country produce pink sapphires with a distinctive warmth and depth of colour that has no parallel from any other source. The trace chromium responsible for the pink hue occurs in concentrations unique to Ceylon’s geological conditions, resulting in a colour profile that gemologists and dealers can often identify on sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ceylon Gem Lab (CGL) has issued a comprehensive certificate for this stone, confirming its natural origin, 3.13-carat weight, oval mixed cut, medium pink colour, and. Critically. Its unheated status. CGL is one of the most respected gemological laboratories in Sri Lanka, and their certification is recognised by dealers and auction houses internationally.\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 sapphires command a substantial premium for their rarity. Fewer than 5% of sapphires reach the market without treatment. At 3.13 carats, the unheated designation becomes even more significant: large, naturally coloured sapphires without enhancement are the stones most sought after by collectors and investors, as they represent an irreplaceable product of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Pink Sapphire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt $8,500 AUD, this 3.13ct unheated Ceylon pink sapphire is priced for the collector and investor who understands the rarity curve. Pink sapphires over 3 carats with unheated certification from a recognised lab are exceptionally difficult to source. The market for large unheated sapphires has strengthened consistently over the past decade, driven by demand from collectors in Asia, the Middle East, and increasingly Australia and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval cut is the classic choice for large sapphires, and for good reason. The shape maximises carat retention from the rough crystal while providing the most balanced distribution of colour and brilliance. At 9.97 x 7.25 mm, this stone will present as a dramatic centre stone for a cocktail ring, a museum-quality pendant, or a legacy piece intended to be passed through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePink sapphires have outperformed most other coloured gemstone categories at auction over the past five years. Unheated stones with reputable certification command the highest premiums, and those over 3 carats occupy a segment where supply is genuinely limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor buyers comparing alternatives, unheated pink diamonds of comparable size would cost tens or hundreds of times more. This Ceylon sapphire offers the same romantic pink colour, 9 Mohs hardness, and natural Ceylon origin. At a price accessible to serious collectors.\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 3.13ct pink sapphire heated?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This sapphire is completely unheated and untreated.
