I found this 1.40 ct pink/red stone in my grandmother’s old earrings. My family believes the earrings are more than 100 years old.

I had the stone tested at a gem lab in Sri Lanka, and they identified it as synthetic sapphire.

Could this be an old Verneuil (flame-fusion) synthetic sapphire from the early 1900s? Or is there any reason to question the lab result?

I’ve attached photos of the stone and the lab invoice. I’d really appreciate your opinions and any clues about its possible age and authenticity. Thank you!
