Comment: As our honest images show, we here have the classic trade-off between a window and a big face: 7mm round but only 1.59 to pay for. Certified unheated, no visible inclusions, flawless but shallow cut. In case you wonder why shallow gems happen, it is not malice or bad craft (in most cases) but simply the flat shape of the natural rough (as found in the river) that didn't allow more depth and the cutter decided that saving the weight and keeping 7mm was a better choice than to close the center and cut the rough down to, perhaps, one carat. We can precision re-cut this to a perfect carat if you so desire and have the extra time and patience. If not, take it as it is and have a unheated pink sapphire that looks over 2.5 carats but costs half. As always with us, 3rd party lab report, home delivery and 1000 sqm of rainforest come all included. The color is pretty much as you see here on the pics, bright pink, deeper than baby pink, but no-where reddish, with a tiny-winy bit of purple.

Ask a question.
