Round Pink Over 1.00 CT - Do they exist

[sdm29]

I'm new to the whole MMD space, but I'm looking for a round pink over 1.00 ct. Do these exists?

It appears not. No one grows pinks--they grow yellows and irradiate them. But based on what I see on D.Nea in order for the pink color to go all the way through a thick stone they need to apply enough radiation for it to come out purplish-red instead of pink. The other option is to leave it yellow in the center in which case it's peach, not pink.

You might consider a pink sapphire or a spinel. They are sturdy enough for a ring, decently priced and come in some very pretty colors. However they will not have the same optics or sparkle as a diamond.

What she said. You can get lovely pinks in half carat sizes. Larger than that and it's more likely to be peach coloured!

Good luck!
