1.14 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This extraordinary Padparadscha sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare invitation to collectors who seek singular beauty and indisputable distinction. Few gemstones possess the delicate balance of pink and salmon that defines a true Padparadscha, and even fewer present it with the refined proportions and optical performance that this stone displays. Offered as a solitary treasure for connoisseurs who demand both provenance and personality, this gem reads as an heirloom in the making. Its presence is immediately arresting, yet subtly refined, making it ideal for an owner who prefers quiet exclusivity rather than ostentation, and whose collection is curated to reflect uncommon taste and enduring value.

At 1.14 carats this oval shaped Padparadscha measures 7.12 x 5.24 x 3.62 mm, dimensions that create a perfect balance between wearable scale and visual impact. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize both scintillation and color dispersion, presenting lively flashes of brilliance across the table and crown, while preserving the gematic warmth of its core hue. Transparency is exceptional, and the clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which translates to an elegant cleanliness to the naked eye, and character that is admired under magnification. The color intensity is medium, yielding a sophisticated, versatile tone that translates beautifully into both classic and contemporary settings. An excellent polish enhances facet definition and surface luster, and the stone has undergone responsible heat treatment to optimize color and clarity. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka this specimen carries the storied legacy of one of the worlds most celebrated sapphire sources, a detail that further elevates its appeal to discerning collectors.

Visually this Padparadscha captivates with a rare interplay of soft pink and warm peachy orange, a hue that shifts gently in different lighting conditions, showing blush pink in cooler illumination and a sun warmed salmon in richer light. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this chameleon like quality, scattering light in a lively mosaic that rewards both close inspection and the casual glance. Set to face up in a minimal bezel or prong setting the gem will read as effortlessly luxurious, perfect for a solitaire ring that projects quiet authority, or as the focal point in a bespoke pendant destined for private viewings and public admirations alike. For the collector interested in a bespoke commission, this sapphire offers endless possibilities, responding equally well to platinum for a modern austere look, warm yellow gold for enhanced fire, or rose gold for a tonal marriage that accentuates the stones rosy notes. The images provided show the stone to scale against a fingertip, demonstrating how its proportions translate into real world wearability, a key consideration for those assembling a high end collection that is meant to be enjoyed as much as it is preserved.
