Comment: Truth be told, I had wanted to see a hint of pink in this orange, but I now must agree with IGI it is orange-only and thus not a padparadscha, even though the lotus flower may well be orange-only at times. Here is good example why we do not sell gems without lab report. The owner's eye is simply not objective, even with good will. This said, I will not be shy and will give this charming orange sparkler my double thumbs up. It is difficult to photograph these mild colors, but they are so beautiful in person. Especially in a precision cut, with no inclusions what-so-ever, and in the knowledge (not hope) that this is its true color, as grown in millions of earth-years, not artificially colored in a few days. No window, no color-zoning (ignore: the camera splits off yellow, except in the sideshot), close to one carat, and maximum brilliancy. Will sit well in yellow gold, perhaps even lush 22karat, for a change.
Ask a question.
