This gives you the captivating padparadscha sapphire which can only be found on the island of Sri Lanka. If you still want to stand out with something rare then I suggest you add a dash or orange to your pink. Luckily for lovers of pink, new mines which were opened up in Madagascar in the 1990s have made these rose-colored beauties much more accessible. Pink sapphires come in a dazzling variety of shades ranging from the softest pale blush to an intense hot magenta. In 2015 Sotheby’s sold the Cartier Sunrise ruby ring for an astounding $30.3 million! That works out at $1.2 million per carat! Pretty in Pink

Sapphires can be found all over the world, but for 500 years Burmese rubies from the famed Mogok mine in present-day Myanmar have been regarded as the finest, with their intense ‘pigeon blood’ hue commanding the highest prices per carat of any colored gemstone.

Ratnaraj, the Sanskrit name for ruby, translates as ‘king of the gems’ and throughout history and across cultures these deep crimson stones have been believed to impart vitality, passion and good luck.
