When one thinks of sapphires, blue gemstones immediately spring to mind. Yet the colour palette offered by genuine sapphires is far broader: depending on the deposit and the elements involved in their formation, sapphires can occur in almost every colour of the rainbow. Here, eight white old-cut diamonds surround a sapphire of an exceptionally rare colour. This oval-cut gemstone is a so-called ‘padparadscha’. Padparadschas were mainly found on the island of Sri Lanka. The name for this variety of sapphire is derived from the Sinhalese term for lotus flower and refers to stones whose colour resembles the blossoms of these rare flowers. It can be described as a blend of orange and pink and is sometimes compared to the warm glow of a sunset. The sapphire in this ring is a deep pink with a slight peachy tinge. We had it set into this antique ring, which had lost its original centre stone. The sapphire comes with an independent certificate from Canada. The radiantly beautiful sapphire and the diamonds are all set à jour, allowing their harmonious play of colours to unfold to the full. A simple rose gold band completes this beautiful Belle Époque piece of jewellery, which we discovered in Paris and brought back to Berlin.
