We get a lot of questions about our Pink Sapphire rings. Below, we've answered a few of the most popular and provided more information about this beautiful pink gemstone.

Pink sapphire is a member of the corundum family, just like the more common blue sapphire. In fact, the only real difference between a pink sapphire and a ruby is the depth of red color—when it's lighter and more pink, it’s classified as a pink sapphire.

These gems get their beautiful pink hue from trace elements of chromium. The more chromium present, the deeper and richer the pink color becomes.

Pink sapphires are highly prized for their rarity and feminine charm, and they rate a 9 on the Mohs scale, making them one of the hardest and most durable gemstones available—second only to diamonds.

Pink sapphire rings are often associated with:

• - Love and romance: A softer, more romantic alternative to diamonds
  - Compassion and emotional healing
  - Loyalty and commitment
  - Inner strength and resilience

They make popular choices for engagement rings and anniversary gifts because they symbolize a deep, enduring kind of love—gentle but powerful.

Pink sapphires are most commonly linked with Virgo and Libra signs, known for its love of beauty, balance, and harmonious relationships. But they also resonate with:

Taurus – Enhancing loyalty and sensuality
Cancer – Supporting emotional healing and nurturing qualities
Virgo – Encouraging clarity and thoughtful decision-making

While anyone can wear and enjoy a pink sapphire, these signs tend to feel particularly aligned with its energy.

Pink sapphires come in a beautiful range of tones—from soft blush to hot pink. Here are the main types based on color and origin:

• Light Pink Sapphire: Delicate and romantic, often seen in vintage-style rings
  Hot Pink or Vivid Pink Sapphire: Bold and bright, great for modern designs
  Padparadscha Sapphire: A rare and unique mix of pink and orange hues (very valuable)
  Natural vs. Heat-Treated Sapphires: Most sapphires on the market are heat-treated to enhance color. Natural, untreated stones are rarer and more expensive.

Some pink sapphires also come from ethical, lab-grown sources that offer the same beauty and durability with a lower environmental impact.

Pink sapphire is celebrated not just for its looks, but also for its emotional and metaphysical properties, including:

• - Supporting emotional healing and letting go of past hurts
  - Encouraging self-love and acceptance
  - Stimulating creativity and passion
  - Strengthening relationships and bonds
  - Promoting wisdom and clear communication

Many believe that wearing a pink sapphire opens the heart chakra, allowing for deeper love and compassion.

Because of their hardness, pink sapphires are easy to care for—but keeping them brilliant takes a little regular maintenance.

How to clean:

• 1. Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
  2. Soak your ring for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Gently scrub the stone and set with a soft toothbrush.
  4. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid:

• - Harsh cleaners like bleach or ammonia
  - Abrasive scrubbing tools
  - Sudden temperature changes

For deep cleaning, you can also take your ring to a professional jeweler once or twice a year.

Pink sapphires are incredibly versatile when it comes to metal and wardrobe pairings:

• Rose Gold: Enhances the warmth of the pink tones and creates a romantic, seamless look.
  White Gold or Platinum: Provides a contemporary and elegant contrast that brightens the gemstone.
  Yellow Gold: Adds richness and vintage appeal, especially with peach-toned sapphires.

Fashion-wise, pink sapphire rings shine beautifully alongside neutrals like cream, taupe, and gray, as well as deeper hues like navy, emerald green, and charcoal. They can also complement soft pastels for a gentle, feminine palette.

Pink sapphires have a rich and fascinating history. For a long time, they were actually mistaken for rubies—both gemstones are varieties of corundum, and it wasn’t until gemologists developed more precise tools that we could tell them apart.

These gems have long been associated with royalty and elegance. Princess Eugenie’s engagement ring famously features a rare pink-orange padparadscha sapphire, bringing pink sapphires into the spotlight for modern romantics.

In ancient times, sapphires were believed to protect the wearer from envy and harm. Pink sapphires, in particular, became symbols of love, emotional healing, and heartfelt expression.

Some of the world’s most exquisite pink sapphires come from Sri Lanka, prized for their clarity and vibrant color. Other sources include Madagascar, Myanmar, and Tanzania.

With their rarity, radiant beauty, and deep symbolism, pink sapphires are more than just gemstones—they’re meaningful treasures that stand out and stay remembered.
