It may come as a surprise, but sapphires can be more than just blue! This is because, like rubies, sapphires belong to the corundum group. In mineralogy, all colored corundums with the exception of the red ruby are called sapphires. In addition to the blue varieties, there are therefore also yellow, green and orange sapphires. These stones, provided they are of outstanding color quality and free of inclusions, also fetch high prices in the trade. A special, pink-orange variety of sapphire is particularly sought-after: these stones mostly originate from Sri Lanka and are known as "padparadscha". The name is derived from the Sinhalese term for lotus blossom. Their color, which resembles the blossoms of these graceful flowers, varies between orange and pink, depending on the viewing angle and lighting. Their color is often compared to the warm glow of a sunset. The wonderful sapphire in this ring shines in exactly this color. The stone, weighing 2.30 ct, displays a fascinating play of light between pink and orange. It is accompanied by an entourage of 58 small brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of approx. 1.10 carats. The high-carat gold gives the ring an elegant, warm radiance. The ring came to us from the Côte d'Azur and we have had an appraisal carried out on it, which is included with the purchase.
