Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 2.20 carat pink sapphire in an oval shape with Mixed Cut faceting (Modified Brilliant crown, Step Cut pavilion), from Madagascar, heat treated, certified by GIA, Report #5232836230. Madagascar has become one of the most important sources for vivid pink sapphire, producing stones with strong color saturation in the pink range — often more saturated than equivalent Ceylon material at the same price tier. At 2.20 carats with GIA documentation, this is a well-specified stone for engagement and collector use.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"What stands out on this stone is the evenness of the pink across the face-up view at 2.20 carats — no color zoning, no washed-out window, just consistent saturation from a Madagascar parcel that GIA has independently confirmed. That combination of size, clarity, and documented origin is what I look for before I'll put my name behind a pink sapphire."
Rarity Analysis
-
Color: Madagascar's vivid pink saturation is genuinely distinctive in the market — this origin routinely produces deeper, more consistent pink than comparably priced material from other sources.
-
Size: At 2.20 carats, this oval sits above the 1.5-carat point where pink sapphire color impact becomes most pronounced, and combining that size with even saturation is not something every parcel delivers.
-
Treatment framing: Heating is the standard, industry-accepted treatment for pink sapphire — the vast majority of fine pink sapphire on the market is heated, and this stone's treatment is disclosed plainly on its GIA report rather than a rarity claim in itself.
-
Clarity: Eye-clean clarity at 2+ carats is not a given in pink sapphire; many stones this size show visible inclusions that this stone does not.
-
Documentation: GIA's Madagascar origin determination is independent lab confirmation, not a dealer's assertion — a meaningful difference in a category where origin claims are frequently unverifiable.
-
Combined effect: Vivid, even color, eye-clean clarity, a substantial 2+ carat size, and independently verified origin rarely converge in a single stone — that convergence is what sets this piece apart from typical commercial-grade pink sapphire.
Buying Guidance
- Heat treatment in pink sapphire is standard, permanent, and fully disclosed — this stone, like nearly all fine pink sapphire on the market, is heated, and that should never be read as a red flag when it's stated on the lab report.
- When comparing origins, view Madagascar material side by side with Ceylon (Sri Lankan) pink sapphire — Madagascar stones frequently show deeper, more saturated pink at a comparable price point.
- Confirm color and clarity claims against independent lab documentation rather than seller description alone; this stone's GIA Report #5232836230 verifies its origin, weight, and treatment status.
- For a center stone at this size, ask for video or in-hand viewing so you can judge how the oval cut performs across different lighting before committing.
- Try Before You Buy: request this stone on approval so you can evaluate its color and brilliance in your own lighting before finalizing the purchase.

This 2.20 ct Madagascar pink sapphire has been hand-selected for the vividness and evenness of its pink color — the factor that most determines performance in pink engagement and jewelry stones.
One of a Kind
This is a single natural gemstone, not a manufactured or lab-created replica — no two sapphires form with identical color, clarity, and internal character. Once this stone sells, it's gone; there is no duplicate. What you see documented on the GIA report is the exact, individual stone you receive.
Care
Sapphire is exceptionally durable (Mohs 9), but a few habits keep it looking its best. Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush; avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners if the stone is set alongside softer or treatment-sensitive materials. Store separately from other jewelry to prevent surface scratches to softer pieces, and remove the stone before swimming, exercising, or household chemical exposure. Heat treatment is stable and permanent under normal wear conditions.
