Padparadscha sapphires carry a heritage that reaches back through the gem markets of Sri Lanka and across the trading routes of the Indian Ocean, a heritage that ties them to ceremonies of celebration and to jewelry of high status. The name itself comes from a word that evokes the lotus blossom at sunset, and historically stones of this color were reserved by those who sought a rare and harmonious beauty.
