Origin of Pink Sapphire

Geographical sources and historical background

Ceylon Sri-Lanka

Madagascar

Burma

As with other gems, pink sapphires can be found in many countries. Here is a non-exhaustive list: Sri Lanka: This is where the majority of pink sapphires on the market come from. They are mainly mined in the southern part of the island. Madagascar: Many pink sapphires are also found in Madagascar. The most famous come from the Ilakaka region in the south of the island. However, good-quality stones over 2 carats are hard to find in this region. Madagascar also supplies some magnificent teal sapphires. Burma: Some of the finest pink sapphires come from Burma. Tanzania: Pink sapphires are also found in this region. Some are mined by the Moyo Gems Association, the first association supported by an international NGO to promote responsible mining. Pink sapphires are also found in Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Greenland.

The value and quality of a Pink Sapphire

How do you know the value of a sapphire?

Pink sapphire is a highly prized gem, its rarity and high demand making it a stone of great value. The price of this gem varies considerably according to the intensity of its color, clarity, weight and treatment. As with most other gems, its price increases exponentially with its weight. For a good-quality, unheated pink sapphire with a clear pink color of around 2 carats, you'll need to reckon with a price of between €2,200/ct and €3,000/ct. The price per carat will be lower if the stone has been heated or has a second color, such as a violet tint. Exceptional-quality pink sapphires can fetch several thousand dollars per carat. In 2022, at an auction organized by Sotheby's, a record price per carat was achieved at $90,000/ct. Don't hesitate to make an appointment so that we can find the most beautiful pink sapphire to suit your budget. Discover all our sapphires.

Treatment and enhancement of Pink Sapphire

What are these treatments?

Heat treatment of sapphire is a common practice, carried out in a high-temperature furnace at up to 1,800°C, or using more traditional methods. Used since ancient times, this technique is designed to correct natural imperfections, such as inclusions, and improve color intensity and homogeneity. Several types of heat treatment exist, such as low-temperature heating and beryllium heating. - Low-temperature heating: This treatment is carried out at moderate temperatures, between 800 and 1,200°C, and improves the color and transparency of the sapphire without altering its structure. It is often applied to stones with less intense colors, offering a more subtle enhancement. - Beryllium heating: This process involves heating sapphires in the presence of beryllium, a chemical element that modifies stone color, notably to intensify yellow or orange hues. Although this treatment is effective, it is controversial, as it alters the chemical composition of the sapphire, which may not please collectors. For this reason, Bonnot Paris refuses to select gemstones that have undergone beryllium treatment.

Our Sourcing of Precious Stones

At Bonnot Paris, we are committed to providing the finest gemstones through rigorous and ethical sourcing.

We have developed three main sourcing methods to guarantee the quality and traceability of our gems: directly from the mines, via brokers and from renowned cutting centers. Find out more about our methods below.

LEVEL 1

Directly to the mine

We favor direct partnerships with the mines, enabling us to obtain raw gemstones directly from the source.

Our partnerships span the globe, notably in Africa (Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya), Vietnam and Sri Lanka. By carefully selecting gems according to their quality, we then have them cut by our workshops in France and Bangkok, ensuring total control over the transformation process.

LEVEL 2

Through local brokers

Our partnerships with international brokers enable us to acquire gemstones over a wide geographical area.

These brokers, based in Africa, Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam, scour vast territories to source gems that meet our strict criteria of quality, traceability and price. The rough stones are then cut in our specialized workshops in France and Bangkok.

LEVEL 3

From the main size centers

We have offices strategically located in Jaipur, Bangkok and Beruwala (Sri Lanka).

These centers enable us to purchase pre-cut gemstones, such as Zambian emeralds in Jaipur, or sapphires and other assorted gems in Sri Lanka and Bangkok. Thanks to these offices, we can respond precisely to our customers' specific requirements, offering a wide range of top-quality stones.

More competitive prices

These three levels of sourcing enable us to offer you the best gemstones at the best prices, while guaranteeing their origin and exceptional quality.

We are committed to maintaining these standards to continue satisfying our most demanding customers.

LEVEL 4 - NOT APPLIED AT BONNOT PARIS

Through Reseller Merchants

The vast majority of traditional jewelers buy their stones from dealers in their own countries.

The result is a limited choice of products and, above all, prices that are far removed from market prices.

LEVEL 5 - NOT APPLIED AT BONNOT PARIS

At the jeweller's

Once again, the majority of jewellers tend to favour selling their own stones to the detriment of customers' desires.

By offering only a limited selection, the jeweler inevitably leads to a choice. At Bonnot Paris, it's the customer who chooses, and we source the ideal stone for his or her needs.

Certification and Ethics: Our Commitments

Certification and ethics are essential pillars of Maison Bonnot Paris. Every stone we offer is certified by renowned independent laboratories such as GIA, AIGS, ICA, LFG and SSEF.

This guarantees the authenticity and quality of our gems. What's more, we're proud to know the origin of the majority of the stones we offer.

Many of them come from brokers located in extraction areas we know well, ensuring impeccable traceability and ethics.

Although ethics are at the heart of our commitment, we recognize that there is still much to be done in this area.

We are determined to continue our efforts to guarantee the responsible and ethical provenance of every stone.

Certification by partner laboratories

At Bonnot Paris, every gemstone passes through our certification laboratory.

Thanks to rigorous analysis and state-of-the-art equipment, we guarantee the authenticity, purity and quality of our gems. Each stone is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by our experts, ensuring our customers total transparency and absolute confidence in their investment.

Our expertise

The expertise of Maison Bonnot Paris is the result of an alchemy between tradition and innovation. Our stones are precision-cut, guaranteeing exceptional brilliance and symmetry.

Each piece is handcrafted in 18-carat gold, demonstrating our commitment to quality.

From the casting process to the final polish, each creation is the result of the meticulous work of four specialized craftsmen.

This collaborative process ensures that each piece of jewelry is a work of art in its own right.

Finally, we are committed to completing each piece within four weeks, combining speed and excellence.

Our know-how is the indelible signature of the quality and authenticity we offer our customers.

The designs are very well done, and the whole team is very attentive to any changes that need to be made. Mr. Deprez was also able to adapt perfectly to the budget he was given. The rings are of impeccable quality. We'll be calling on him again for other projects without hesitation!"Océane
