4.93 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a truly singular center stone for an engagement ring or a rare centerpiece to anchor a collector quality jewel, this padparadscha sapphire answers that search with quiet confidence, it is a transparent AIGS certified padparadscha sapphire weighing 4.93 carats, its oval shape measures 9.82 by 8.03 by 6.99 millimeters which gives it a presence on the finger without overwhelming delicate proportions, it is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation and table face brightness, the clarity has been graded eye clean at eye level which means it reads pure and luminous to the wearer, the color intensity is medium intense which is prized in padparadscha for that perfect marriage of salmon pink and golden orange tones, the polish is excellent so every facet shines with crisp reflection, this stone is natural with no enhancement and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka which is synonymous with the classic padparadscha character, because many customers come to us seeking a stone that is both visually rare and technically sound, this sapphire’s certification and untreated nature assure you of authenticity and lasting value.

Imagine this oval padparadscha set in a range of designs that reflect your personal story, for a timeless engagement ring a four prong or six prong solitaire in platinum or 18 karat rose gold will let the gem breathe and show its color shift as it moves, to amplify brilliance consider a halo of GIA or AIGS graded white diamonds that will contrast and lift the warm pink orange hue, for a romantic vintage look a bezel with milgrain or a filigree gallery will protect the girdle while adding heirloom character, three stone settings with tapered baguettes will create a classic anniversary or engagement profile, a split shank or pavé shoulders will add modern sparkle without stealing focus, for everyday wear a low profile bezel in yellow gold will cushion the crown and reduce snagging, for statement jewelry imagine this stone oriented east west on a cocktail ring or as the centerpiece of a detachable pendant that lets you convert a ring into a necklace, as matched pair earrings this padparadscha can anchor pear or oval companions, and for collectors who want versatility consider a bespoke mounting with interchangeable bezels or a convertible design that moves from solitaire to halo and back, because the stone is robust and durable as corundum it works beautifully in rings that are worn daily, and because it is eye clean with excellent polish it shows off both when viewed up close and when worn casually.
