The padparadscha sapphire is a rare, unique, and very beautiful variety of sapphires, named after the Sinhalese word for a lotus blossom that exhibits the same special combination of delicate pink and orange hues, which many liken to a sunset.
This particular padparadscha sapphire is from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), a top source for the stone, and has the coveted colors of the gem, naturally without any enhancement. It also has a remarkably high weight for a padparadscha at 8.23 carats.
We think the rounded corners and rectangular cushion shape just heighten its feminine appeal. How about you?
