Qty:
A magnificent 3.43-carat Ceylon padparadscha sapphire, the rarest of all sapphires, dazzles in this beautiful ring. The gem displays the orangey-pink hue for which padparadschas are coveted. C. Dunaigre certifies this gem as a Ceylon Padparadscha sapphire, underscoring its superb quality. This rare sapphire is surrounded by approximately 1.50 carats of diamonds and sits in an intricate filigreed platinum setting.

The most valuable of all sapphires, the padparadscha's name is derived from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom — a bloom that shares the same pinkish-orange color. Sapphires are found in the entire rainbow of hues, but padparadschas, with their unique color, are the only subset of sapphires known by their own name.
