Colour and Clarity: According to AGL report, the pink sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of both heat and clarity treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, this pink sapphire is of vibrant purple-pink colour, with beautiful pinkish and purplish brilliance, a charming and lively gem. Extremely clean to naked eyes, only has one to two minute transparent fingerprints which are noticeable only under careful 10x loupe inspection. Side diamonds are of about F to G colours, SI clarity.
Condition: Simple ring mount with minor signs of wear, in very good condition.
