1.02 ct Natural Heated Pink Sapphire – Oval Cut

A natural 1.02 carat pastel pink sapphire in an oval cut, heat treated. Pastel pink sapphire is the lighter, softer end of the pink corundum range — a tone with lower saturation that reads delicate and airy rather than vivid or bold. In oval cut at just above 1 carat, this stone is sized for pendant and accent ring use, and the soft pastel quality makes it the choice for buyers who want pink sapphire's warmth without the intensity of vivid or hot pink varieties.

Good to Know

A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:

• View it in more than one light. Pastel pink can look slightly different under warm incandescent bulbs versus daylight-balanced light — check both if color precision matters to you.
• Consider the setting head size. At 6.72 x 5.18 mm, this oval suits both a classic four-prong solitaire and a low-profile bezel without requiring an oversized head.
• Confirm treatment and clarity disclosure when comparison shopping. Many pink sapphires marketed as "natural" omit heat-treatment disclosure — ask directly if a competing listing is unclear.
• Weigh availability at this size and clarity. Above-1-carat, eye-clean pastel pink sapphire is less commonly available than smaller melee-sized stones.
• Ask for a personal video if you would like to see the stone in motion before finalizing the purchase.
