0.62 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the vast and lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, known historically as Ceylon, lies a treasure trove of magnificent gemstones that the world has cherished for centuries. Emerged from the rich, fertile earth of this enchanting island, our 0.62 carat oval-shaped padparadscha sapphire narrates a tale that began deep beneath the surface millions of years ago. The breathtaking mines of Ceylon have yielded some of the most remarkable sapphires ever discovered, each stone possessing the island's essence captured in crystal form.

Our padparadscha sapphire, weighing a pristine 0.62 carats, boasts dimensions of 5.72 x 5.32 x 2.49 mm. This alluring gemstone has been expertly crafted with a mixed brilliant cut by artisans who have mastered their craft over generations, ensuring the unique heart-stirring sparkle of this gem captivates everyone who gazes upon it. Its medium intense color speaks loudly of a fiery sunset melding into a gentle pink hue, reminiscent of a stunning tropical twilight sky. This rare blend sets padparadscha apart from its contemporaries, even amongst the most sought-after gems like rubies and traditional blue sapphires. The clarity, graded as very very slightly included at eye level, means that minor inclusions are present but nearly invisible to the naked eye, adding a whisper of individuality rather than detracting from its charm.

This lustrous gem draws upon mystery, enamoring and enchanting sophisticated connoisseurs with its fascinating hues. Unlike the typical blue sapphire or crimson ruby, a padparadscha is a poetic marriage of pink and orange tones, palate-blending in a serene symphony of colors unmatched in the gemstone world.
