1.14 ct Natural Unheated Pink Sapphire – Round Cut | GIA Certified | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

A natural 1.14 carat pink sapphire in a round cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated and certified by GIA (Sapphire Origin Report #2245017784, confirming Sri Lanka origin). Pink sapphire is natural corundum colored by trace chromium — the round brilliant-family cut at 1.14 carats produces excellent light return and a vivid presentation of the pink in any standard setting format. Ceylon origin adds the documented provenance most valued in the pink sapphire market, and unheated status preserves the natural color exactly as the earth produced it.

Rarity Analysis

A few factors combine to make this particular pink sapphire less common than it might first appear:

• Color: A medium-saturation natural pink, produced by trace chromium in the corundum — the hue reads true without relying on heat treatment to develop it.
• Size: At 1.14 carats, this stone sits above the 1-carat mark that many center-stone buyers look for; unheated pink sapphires at this weight are a smaller slice of the market than heated commercial material of similar size.
• Treatment: Unheated, as confirmed on GIA Report #2245017784 — most pink sapphire on the market today has been heat-treated to improve color, making natural, untreated material the exception rather than the rule.
• Clarity: Graded Very Very Slightly Included — a high clarity grade that is less frequently seen paired with unheated status, since untreated stones more often carry visible inclusions.
• Documentation: GIA Report #2245017784 is a Sapphire Origin Report, confirming species, weight, shape, Sri Lanka origin, and the absence of heating indicators on a single certificate.
• Combined effect: Unheated color, above-1-carat weight, high clarity, and GIA-confirmed Ceylon origin rarely align in one stone — this combination is what separates it from typical commercial pink sapphire.

Buying Guidance

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

• View it under mixed lighting. Round brilliant-family cuts like this one respond to light source — check the stone under both daylight-equivalent and warm indoor lighting to see the full range of the pink.
• Confirm your setting fits the dimensions. At 6.29–6.45 x 3.76mm, this stone is sized for a standard round mounting built for a roughly 6.3mm center stone — verify prong spacing with your jeweler before committing to a setting.
• Ask what "unheated" is based on when comparison shopping. Many pink sapphires offered online are heat-treated without clear disclosure — this stone's unheated status is independently confirmed on GIA Report #2245017784, not just represented by the seller.
• Weigh the scarcity into the price. As outlined in the Rarity Analysis above, the combination of unheated color, above-1-carat weight, and GIA-documented Ceylon origin is uncommon, which is reflected in this stone's pricing relative to heated material of similar size.
• Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.
