1.13 ct Natural Heated Purplish Pink Sapphire – Oval Cut | GIA Certified | Vietnam

A natural 1.13 carat purplish pink sapphire in an oval cut, from Vietnam, heat treated and certified by GIA (Sapphire Origin Report #6247017777, confirming Vietnam origin). This stone was previously listed as a padparadscha sapphire, but GIA's own color call is "Purplish Pink" — a distinct classification from padparadscha, which requires a pink-orange (salmon) hue. We've corrected the listing to reflect GIA's findings accurately. The oval cut at 1.13 carats delivers strong brilliance and a versatile silhouette for a wide range of jewelry settings.

Rarity Analysis

Several factors combine to make this particular purplish pink sapphire uncommon in the market:

• Color: Purplish pink with a violet undertone is a distinctive hue, a departure from the pure pink or magenta tones most commonly sold as "pink sapphire."
• Size: At 1.13 carats, this stone sits in a mid-range weight where well-matched color and clarity are relatively easier to source than in larger sizes.
• Treatment: Heat treatment is disclosed and confirmed by GIA — the standard, widely accepted treatment for sapphire, with no other enhancement noted.
• Clarity: GIA notes this stone as Loupe Clean, a clarity level uncommon among colored sapphires, most of which show visible inclusions.
• Documentation: The stone carries a GIA Sapphire Origin Report (#6247017777), directly confirming its Vietnam origin, weight, color, and treatment.
• Combined effect: The combination of a distinctive purplish pink hue, loupe-clean clarity, and GIA-confirmed origin and treatment sets this stone apart from typical pink sapphires sold without independent documentation.

Buying Guidance

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

• View the stone in mixed lighting. Purplish pink sapphires can shift between pink and violet depending on the light source, so viewing in both daylight and warm indoor light will show the full range of this stone's color.
• Confirm setting depth before mounting. At 3.82mm deep, this oval sits on the shallower side, so check with your jeweler that the chosen setting supports the stone's dimensions (7.03 x 5.06 x 3.82mm) without excess metal showing beneath the girdle.
• Ask for treatment and origin documentation when comparison-shopping other purplish pink sapphires — not every seller can produce a GIA Sapphire Origin Report confirming both.
• Weigh clarity alongside carat weight and color. Loupe-clean stones at this size and price point are uncommon, which ties directly into the rarity factors above.
• Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.
