Derived from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom, “padparadscha” is a scarce and unique variety of sapphires that mirrors the aquatic flower’s remarkable combination of pink and orange hues. The color is also likened to that of salmon or a sunset.
This particular stone from Sri Lanka appears more on the orange side, which can be the case since padparadscha sapphires often straddle the pink-orange color range. That’s why, after decades of debate, the gem world has yet to agree on a uniform color standard for the stone.
The color is also unheated, as certified by the Gem Research SwissLab (GRS), and it has a significant 10.24-carat weight, making this padparadscha exceedingly rare.
Whether more pink or more orange, the padparadscha is an incredibly beautiful colored stone, treasured by gem connoisseurs and steadily gaining mainstream popularity as an exquisite choice for an engagement ring due to the connotations of its color and feminine appeal.
