Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, the padparascha sapphire is natural, of Sri Lankan origin, with no indications of treatment; and special comment stating that this padparadscha is rare for its combination of size and colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the padparadscha sapphire is of intense orangy pink colour. Under 10x loupe, there are feathers and a few dark crystal inclusions, one feather is surface reaching, but generally these features are not noticeable to naked eyes. The smaller coloured sapphires are of intense pink colour, slightly included. Rose-cut diamonds are about Ito J colours, VS to SI clarity. Signed "IVY" to the shank.
Condition: In mint condition.
