Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.44 carat total weight matched pair of pink sapphires in round cuts, completely unheated and documented on AGCL Report #M260342. This pair has been matched for color balance, saturation, and dimensional symmetry — both stones show the same pink tone under the same lighting conditions, and both are calibrated for left-right symmetry in earring and three-stone ring applications. At 1.44 ctw across two stones, each individual stone weighs approximately 0.72 carats in the round format.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"A true matched pair like this one is genuinely harder to put together than a single stone of the same combined weight — you're not just sourcing one good pink sapphire, you're finding two that share the same tone, the same dimensions, and are both unheated. This pair holds that match on both fronts, and the AGCL report backs up the unheated status rather than asking a buyer to take our word for it."
Rarity Analysis
Unheated pink sapphire in a genuine matched pair combines several layers of scarcity that don't often stack together in one listing.
-
Color: Pink sapphire is a well-known and desirable corundum variety, but most commercial pink sapphire on the market has been heat-treated to improve or even out its color — unheated material in this hue is the minority, not the norm.
-
Size: At 1.44 ctw across the two stones (roughly 0.72 carats each), this pair sits in a size range that's practical for earrings and side-stone settings; matching two stones this closely at this combined weight is considerably harder to source than finding a single 1.44-carat stone.
-
Treatment: Both stones are unheated, and that status is confirmed on AGCL Report #M260342 rather than asserted on our word alone.
-
Clarity: Both stones are Eye Clean, with no visible inclusions under normal viewing conditions.
-
Documentation: Origin is Sri Lanka (Ceylon) — this is our store's own assessment; it is not addressed by the AGCL report. The AGCL report does confirm the treatment status of the pair.
-
Combined effect: An unheated treatment status that's already uncommon in pink sapphire, paired with the added difficulty of matching two stones for color and dimension at once, is what makes a genuine pair like this meaningfully harder to replace than either stone would be on its own.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific pair:
-
Compare the two stones side by side under consistent lighting. When reviewing photos, video, or the stones in person, look at both together under the same light source to confirm the color match holds across the pair, not just within a single photo.
-
Confirm your setting accommodates both stones. If you're mounting this pair in earrings or as ring side stones, check that the setting is sized and configured for both stones together — small differences in depth or girth between two natural stones can affect how evenly a pair sits once mounted.
-
Review the AGCL report before you buy. Report #M260342 documents the unheated treatment status of this pair — ask us for a copy if you'd like to review it prior to purchase.
-
Keep in mind the origin note. Sri Lankan (Ceylon) origin is our own assessment based on the stones' characteristics, not a finding stated on the AGCL report itself — factor that distinction in if origin-specific documentation matters to your purchase.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you'd like to see the pair in hand — together, under your own lighting — before finalizing the purchase.

This 1.44 ctw unheated round pink sapphire matched pair has been hand-selected for the consistency of color matching and the dimensional precision that define a usable matched pair versus two stones that merely look similar — both confirmed unheated on AGCL Report #M260342.
One of a Kind
This is a single natural matched pair, not a lab-created or mass-produced set. No two natural sapphire pairs are matched identically — the exact pair pictured is the exact pair you receive.
Care
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Store separately from other jewelry, since sapphire (Mohs 9) can scratch softer stones and metals.
Perfect Uses for this Pink Sapphire Matched Pair
- Stud or drop earring center stones
- Three-stone engagement ring side stones
- Collectors of matched unheated pink sapphires
