Renowned for its rare beauty, the padparadscha sapphire exhibits a mixed brilliant cut, enhancing its sparkle and brilliance. The stone possesses a clarity grade of very slightly included, which means that inclusions are minimal and barely visible to the naked eye. This clarity is further complemented by the sapphire's medium light color intensity, a defining hallmark of padparadscha, which harmonizes pink and orange hues. Such color intensity ensures the gemstone’s captivating presence, making it stand out in any setting.

The padparadscha sapphire's origin from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, adds an extra layer of prestige and allure.

An excellent polish further accentuates the sapphire's inherent attributes. The expert craftsmanship involved in achieving this level of polish guarantees that light is optimally reflected across the sapphire's surface, accentuating its vibrant hues and overall luster.
