Sapphires can be more than just blue: Like rubies, sapphires belong to the corundum group. As all colored corundum, with the exception of red ruby, is referred to as sapphire in mineralogy, yellow, green and orange sapphires are also found alongside the blue varieties. These stones, provided they have an outstanding color quality and are free of inclusions, also fetch high prices in the trade. The pink-orange variety of sapphire is particularly sought-after: these stones usually originate from Sri Lanka or Madagascar and are known as padparadscha. The name is derived from the Sinhalese term for lotus flower and refers to stones that resemble the flowers of this graceful plant in color. It can be described as a mixture of orange and pink and is compared to the warm glow of a sunset. A wonderful padparadscha sapphire in a delicate color is the highlight of this ring. The stone, weighing 1.90 ct, is a wonderful pastel shade and comes from one of the famous Ilakaka mines in Madagascar. The Ilakaka area was only discovered in the late 1990s and within a few years developed into the largest sapphire deposit in the world, known for stones of exceptional clarity and color variety. We have set the stone in the ring, which came to us without a center stone. It is accompanied by an entourage of 36 trapeze-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds weighing a total of 4.55 carats. The white gold of the settings and the shank makes the metal of the ring stand out completely and offers the precious gemstones a wonderful stage. The ring with a large ring face has a pleasantly flat design and looks like a small firework on the finger. The ring was created in Germany. We discovered it in the very west of the country and had an appraisal drawn up for it, which is included with the purchase.
