How to tell if a Pink Sapphire is Real
The best way to authenticate a pink sapphire is by taking it to a professional jeweler. However, there are a few tricks that you can apply yourself to check for the authenticity of a pink sapphire.
Steps to Take
- Check the color of your pink sapphire. Authentic pink sapphires will have a consistent pink color. If you notice any areas of other colors, your gem may not be a true pink sapphire.
- Use a jeweller’s loupe to examine the clarity of your pink sapphire. A loupe is a magnifying device used to create a close-up of your gem. Genuine pink sapphires will have few to no inclusions visible on their polished surface.
- Feel the gemstone to identify any inconsistencies. Real pink sapphire gemstones will be smooth to the touch and show no signs of abrasion.
- Check for a lab report if available. A lab report is a certification from a gemological laboratory stating the authenticity of the gem.
- Consult an experienced professional for a final determination of your gemstone’s authenticity. A jeweler has the training and the equipment to definitively authenticate your pink sapphire.
