Description

The color of this sapphire is on the borderline of the highly desirable “Padparadscha” pink–a gorgeous hue of pink tinged with orange, although it is a bit too pink in my opinion to be truly considered “Padparadscha.”  In daylight and some types of fluorescent lights the color is a soft pink with an orange modifier, while under incandescent light it shifts to a more intensely saturated hot pink color.  The gem is from the Umba River Valley in Tanzania and it completely untreated and natural.  It has very small inclusions that are quite difficult to see with the unaided eye from a normal viewing distance. The inclusions have been factored into the price, making this a great value for the size and color.

This sapphire was faceted in the United States in a modified version of the classic Asscher cut.  The gem weighs 1.17 carats and measures 5.1 x 4.3 mm.

Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.

Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color.  Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
