Light Pink Sapphire Rings

Buying a Sapphire

Sapphires are the ideal colored gemstone—exceptionally durable (Mohs 9) and available in every hue. When choosing a pink sapphire, pick a shade that speaks to you, from hot pink and bubblegum to rose or baby pink. MySapphireSource offers a wide selection in various colors, sizes, and shapes, ensuring you’ll find one you love. Sapphires over 1 carat are considered significant, and no two are alike, making most of our jewelry one of a kind. Nearly all our sapphires are eye-clean and visually stunning, with minor inclusions accepted. Be sure to explore our blue, yellow, and rainbow sapphire jewelry, designed to complement any wardrobe. Each sapphire is hand-picked for quality and beauty.

About Sapphires

Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) has long been known for producing some of the world’s finest sapphires, though an extraordinary discovery in Kashmir in 1880 briefly shifted attention. However, by 1930, the Kashmir mines were nearly depleted, reaffirming Sri Lanka’s reputation for top-quality sapphires. Today, sapphires are also sourced from Madagascar, Australia, and Thailand. MySapphireSource specializes in Ceylon sapphires, prized for their exceptional brilliance and fire. Sapphires in colors beyond blue, pink, and red are called "fancy" or "rainbow sapphires," while red sapphires are classified as rubies.

Sapphire Gifts

Sapphire jewelry is the traditional gift for the fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversaries and sapphire is the birthstone for September. My Sapphire Source specializes in fine quality sapphires and offers an amazingly gorgeous selection of sapphire rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants.

Enhancements

Once mined, sapphires are cut to enhance their color and brilliance. Additional techniques maximize their beauty, with heat treatment being the most common and industry-accepted method. This permanent process enhances color and clarity without altering the gem’s stability, requiring no special care. Less than 1% of sapphires remain unheated, making them rare and more valuable if their quality matches treated stones. MySapphireSource offers select unheated sapphires for collectors, while most of our sapphires undergo heat treatment for optimal beauty.

Care of Sapphires

Clean your pink sapphire jewelry regularly to keep it looking beautiful for decades. Dirt can build up under the stones and setting, making them appear dull. Use a soft-bristled brush with lukewarm water for easy maintenance. While sapphires are durable, MySapphireSource.com advises against steam or ultrasonic cleaners, as they can loosen settings. Avoid strong chemicals or boiling water.

Fun Fact

Light pink sapphires are rarer than many realize, requiring just the right balance of chromium to achieve their delicate hue. While rubies and deep pink sapphires commonly have visible inclusions, light pink sapphires often form with higher clarity. This means that untreated, eye-clean light pink sapphires are sometimes easier to find than their vivid pink counterparts.
