The Kashmir supply was essentially exhausted by 1930, leaving Sri Lanka as the location of the world's most beautiful sapphires. Until the discovery of extraordinary stones in Kashmir in 1880, Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) was the standard bearer of sapphire. Kings once believed these stones offered protection form harm and envy. Sapphire: Although sapphire means blue in Latin, sapphires can be found in a rainbow of colors. Tourmalines are also found in a light pink shade, which reminds us of a pink diamond. How cool is that!? Tourmalines are often found with inclusions in large size stones but at MyJewelrySource, we have an amazing selection of eye to loupe clean large size gems.

The gem material is so valuable and cutting a princess cut stone leads to a lot of wasted material, so gem cutters simply do not cut large princess cut pink sapphires. For example, one shape we will find very infrequently is the princess cut in sizes over 1.5 carats. Pink sapphires in sizes of up to 1 carat are fairly easy to find in all shapes, but in sizes over that, certain shapes are very rare. For each and every ring, the center pink sapphire was hand picked for its exceptional color, clarity and overall appearance. At MyJewelrySource, we offer over 70 carefully selected styles of pink sapphire engagement rings. Pink sapphires are by far the rarest of the pink gemstones. Light pink sapphires can even look like the very rare pink diamond. Pink sapphires are found in colors ranging from pale baby pink, rose pink, bubble gum, cotton candy, fuchsia, raspberry, hot pink to pinks with hints of lavender and peach.
