When most people think about Sapphire gemstones a lovely royal Blue gem comes to mind. Blue Sapphires are great; they’re beautiful and classic and occupy an important role as a precious gemstone. A blue sapphire sits in the famed engagement ring once owned by Princess Diana and now worn by the lovely Kate Middleton, and there are many other historical blue sapphires like the Logan Sapphire, the Rockafeller Sapphire and the Bismark Sapphire. In fact, the word Sapphire has become synonymous with “blue sapphire, so much so that when gemstone and jewelry artisans use the word sapphire alone it is referring to “blue sapphires”.

And then we come to the dazzling Pink Sapphire, the oft ignored younger sister to the Blue Sapphire. Yet instead of developing a whiny “Marsha Marsha Marsha” complex, the Pink Sapphire holds its own as a gorgeous feminine gemstone with a range of saturated, intense bright pink colors. Not only are Pink Sapphires just as valuable as Blue Sapphires, a high quality unblemished Pink Sapphire with a vibrant color can command a higher price as they are more rare than their blue counterparts.

When set in white gold for jewelry, Pink Sapphires are a sight to behold! Adding a true color pop in jewelry design, Pink Sapphires are at once boldly beautiful and daintily feminine. From Barbie bubblegum to fierce fuscia and everything in between, Pink Sapphire gemstones capture the gamut of the pink section of the color wheel. The vibrant hot pink is classically girly, yet funky and fun and the same time. With a dazzling internal sparkle, we can confidently say that Pink Sapphire put the “fire” in Sapphire!
