Every technical detail of this cushion shape padparadscha sapphire has been selected to elevate its innate beauty, starting with its dimensions of 5.65 x 5.31 x 4.34 mm, proportions that allow the light to travel through the stone and reveal a delicate interplay of pink, peach, and golden hues. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation across the table and crown, producing a lively marriage of sparkle and depth that complements the gem’s intense color intensity. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that lends authenticity and character while maintaining transparency and brilliance. The polish is excellent, the facets meeting with precision so that the surface reflects light with mirror like clarity. This sapphire has been heat treated, a responsible and widely accepted enhancement that deepens tone and improves overall harmony without compromising integrity, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing padparadscha sapphires of sublime and market defining quality.
