Natural Padparadscha Sapphire – Cushion Cut, 1.72 Carat (Unheated, Ceylon, VVS)

Padparadscha sapphires are a rare pink‑orange variety of corundum; their name comes from the Sinhalese word for “lotus flower” and their color echoes the bright pink petals of this blossom. They’re prized for their unique hue and extreme rarity. With a Mohs hardness of 9, sapphire is durable enough for daily wear ideal for engagement rings and heirloom jewellery.

Gemstone Highlights

This 1.72 carat padparadscha displays a perfectly balanced blend of pink and orange—a hallmark of true padparadscha sapphires. Because it’s unheated and untreated, its colour is entirely natural, and its rarity makes it coveted by gem collectors. The precision cushion‑rectangular cut (7.50 × 5.80 × 4.28 mm) accentuates brilliance, while VVS clarity ensures only microscopic inclusions. This gemstone’s salmon‑pink hue originates from trace elements of chromium and iron within the corundum. It’s a one‑of‑a‑kind piece ready for bespoke jewellery or an investment collection.
