In the hunt for the great Padparadscha we often find that lighter tone gems, those with perhaps not quite enough orange for some, draw our eye. Rarely, do we see a stongly orange gem, unmistakeably an appropriate use of this legendary name that we absolutely love. While not a huge stone, this one is the quintessential example - perfectly clean, unheated and well cut. And that color, absolutely fantastic without any qualifiers whatsoever - a huge color for a 1 ct. stone indeed. With a report from the Sri Lankan lab stating no heat and guaranteed to get the same at any lab.
