Because the stone is transparent and eye clean this color does not become obscured by cloudiness or visible inclusions, it remains pure and saturated, and the excellent polish allows the surface to reflect light with a mirror finish that complements the internal play of color. For an engagement ring the result is a center that captures attention from every angle, yet remains sophisticated and wearable, for collectors the stone offers an exemplary balance of weight, cut, and color that makes it an investment in beauty, and for designers the clean clarity and precise dimensions make it straightforward to set while preserving its optical performance.
