Of all the world's gemstones, the padparadscha sapphire is among the most coveted. Prized for its singular lotus-pink and sunset-orange hue, a truly fine specimen is found so rarely that serious collectors wait years for one of genuine quality.
This 5.02 carat Sri Lankan padparadscha is one such stone. Entirely unheated — a distinction that places it among a tiny fraction of sapphires worldwide — its colour is entirely as nature intended, untouched and unenhanced. The depth of its pink-orange saturation, combined with exceptional clarity, marks it as a stone of the highest order.
Set in a custom 18k white gold mounting, framed by 3.22 carats of fancy-shaped diamonds chosen to honour rather than compete with the centre stone.
A once-in-a-generation padparadscha. For the collector who recognises it as such.
