Sapphire

This natural, untreated sapphire weighing 1.37 ct was cut from the same 11.43 ct rough crystal. Together with its 2.31 ct pear-cut sister stone, it retains the unusual orange-pink coloration of the original crystal, beautifully illustrating the shared origin of both stones.

Its color ranges from warm orange to pink, and its overall appearance is reminiscent of the coveted padparadscha color palette. The color distribution in this stone is not entirely uniform either, but rather naturally structured, causing different warm hues to stand out more prominently depending on the angle of the light.

Natural growth lines are visible inside, giving the sapphire a delicate structure and added depth. Depending on the viewing angle, sparkling particles and light reflections also emerge, enlivening the warm play of colors and making the stone appear slightly different each time.

The precisely executed pear cut accentuates its elegant silhouette and beautifully highlights the natural color zoning. The softly rounded sides and tapered tip give the stone a harmonious shape, while the faceting vividly enhances the interplay of orange and pink.

Particularly interesting is the direct connection to its larger sister stone. Both sapphires were cut from the same 11.43-carat rough crystal; both exhibit the characteristic orange-pink color effect, and neither has been heat-treated. While the 2.31-ct stone impresses primarily with its unusual size and distinctive internal pattern, this 1.37-ct sapphire appears somewhat more delicate and compact, without losing the unique color character of the original crystal.

It is precisely the combination of a padparadscha-like orange-pink hue, a natural internal structure, an elegant pear cut, and an untreated color that makes this sister stone particularly appealing. Together, the two sapphires form an extraordinary pair with a clear shared origin, yet each possesses its own distinct visual character.
