| GEMSTONE APPRAISAL / EVALUATION: | Based on the characteristics of this purplish-pink sapphire, including its eye-clean clarity, vibrant reddish-purple color, and premium handcrafted cut, the fair market value appraisal would be estimated at around USD 700 to USD 900. This valuation reflects the stone's quality, origin, and the fact that it is unheated, which adds to its desirability among collectors and investors. This Sri Lankan sapphire, with a weight of 1 carat, can be considered a collectible piece rather than a strong investment asset. While its color and cut are appealing, the carat size is on the smaller end for sapphire investments, which typically favor larger stones for significant value appreciation. This gemstone could be better appreciated in personal jewelry, such as a ring or pendant, where its unique qualities and craftsmanship can be showcased, rather than viewed as a financial investment. |
