Padparadscha (King) sapphire 1.6 Ct

Description

An unheated padparadscha sapphire from Sri Lanka weighing 1.6 ct, with an orangish pink colour and a round cut graded excellent. The stone shows excellent lustre.

Padparadscha, a delicate blend of pink and orange, is one of the rarest sapphire colours, and Sri Lanka is its traditional source. The stone has had no heat treatment, so its colour is fully natural.

Round is the classic solitaire shape, cut for maximum brilliance, and round padparadschas are especially uncommon. Sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs scale, so it is well suited to jewellery worn every day.
