Comment: First, one-and-only, emerald-shape unheated padparadscha. Usually chosen for stronger hues and darker tones this 1.33 carat is a fine example of a daring cut paying off big-time. With 52% depth it buys you 8x5mm, the normal face-up of a sapphire over two carats but without a disturbing window. Never pale, no visible inclusions, no purple, no yellow, nothing but the ever-so-delicate sunset colors. Under the lens only: colorless inclusions and feathers. A closed yellow gold basket, in ring or necklace, would turn even the (tilt-)window to an advantage. Not unlikely the only certified untreated emerald-cut padparadscha in the world! It is hard to imagine anything rarer, at least from the point-of-view of an incurable gem-lover. Yes, it could be five carats instead, yes, but then it would not fit in a ring anymore. That said, find us a pendant-sized no-heat padaparadscha under two carats! Comes with original AIGS report, WLT plot of 1000sqm protected in your name, support for the NhRP, free global shipping and all possible WildFish-Perks.
