{"product_id":"1-62-ct-emerald-cut-pink-sapphire-madagascar-gia","title":"1.62 ct Natural Heat-Treated Pink Sapphire – Emerald Cut | GIA Certified | Madagascar","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 1.62 ct pink sapphire from Madagascar, heat treated, measuring 7.05 x 5.45 x 4.33 mm, with GIA Sapphire Origin Report #2241032070. The report gives the shape as Octagonal and the cutting style as Step Cut; the trade name for that pairing is an emerald cut, and it is the trade's name, not the report's. Pink is one of sapphire's most consistently in-demand colors, prized for pairing naturally with rose gold and suiting nearly every skin tone — and Madagascar leads the world for it: GIA's own field research describes the Ilakaka–Sakaraha deposit as probably the world's main source for pink sapphire. The step facets return light in a smaller number of broad, ordered flashes rather than the many small ones a brilliant cut gives. The report states the weight, the measurements, the shape, the cutting style and the color, and records heating; Madagascar it gives as GIA's geographic origin opinion, printing alongside it that any statement on geographic origin is an expert opinion based on a collection of observations and analytical data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"Pink sapphire is one of the most dependable colors I carry — it's popular for a reason, and at 1.62 ct this one sits at a comfortable size for a ring without turning into a piece you have to design a whole commission around.
