♦ About Padparadscha Sapphires ♦
—————————————

Padparadscha sapphires are the rarest and most coveted color of an already precious stone, selling for as much as $30,000 per carat. An ethereal color on the cusp between pink and orange, they are renowned for their similarity to the colors of the lotus flower. We are excited to offer a limited quantity of these lab-created Padparadscha sapphires at a far more attainable cost.

While many sapphires are marketed under the name Padparadscha, including orange, pink, and brownish ones, these are true orange-pink Padparadscha color, which is far more difficult to obtain. These gems’ colors vary slightly in hue and saturation, and are difficult to photograph accurately. The camera likes to register them as redder/pink, while "fiery pinkish orange" is more accurate. They can be shapeshifters in real life too, appearing to be slightly different colors in different lighting. Some are more orange, others pinker. Smaller sizes tend to have slightly less vivid color and more variation in hue. Larger sizes have a bold punch of intense color with far subtler variations.

Padparadscha sapphires are prized not only for their color, but for their symbolism. Padparadscha (pad · pah · raj · a) is a Sinhalese word which roughly translates to “lotus blossom.”

The lotus, also known as the flower of life, is the national flower of India. It holds sacred meaning in Buddhism and Hinduism, representing awakening, faithfulness, love, and compassion. In ancient Eqypt, the lotus was associated with rebirth and the sun. In Japan, lotus flowers represent purity. Metaphysically, Padparadscha sapphires are associated with freeing creativity, inner clarity, self-confidence, discernment, fertility, and improved relationships.

Regardless of other associations, the bottom line is that these gems are exquisitely beautiful. They are a durable and unique choice for an engagement ring. We particularly recommend them as an alternative to Morganite engagement rings, which have gained popularity on social media but lack the durability to endure decades of wear. They are also an exquisite option for statement rings and self-love rings.

We specialize in custom jewelry, so you are not limited to the Padparadscha collection; we will happily set any of the rings on our site with one of these rare stones, or design something just for you.

♦ Your Ring, Made to Order ♦

Each ring is made to order in exactly your size using a combination of a sophisticated jeweler's CAD system, modern CAM milling technology and old-school hands-on goldsmithing. With this technology you get a completely custom ring in weeks rather than the months that are standard for custom jewelry. It takes an average 3-8 weeks from the time your order is finalized.

Because this ring is made to order, I can offer endless combinations of gems and colors. Let your imagination run wild with birthstones, themes, and color schemes, then contact me to make them reality.

Custom-made items such as this ring cannot be returned. Please be sure of details like metal and stone choices, size, etc. before you order. Thanks for your understanding!

Ring images are photorealistic renders from my CAD system. Consider them a really amazing preview sketch! Diamonds tend to render accurately, but colored gemstones are often markedly different in appearance from the renders. Whenever possible I’ve included an example photo of the actual gem variety for a more realistic presentation. Unique designs even include a photograph of the exact gem that will be used in the ring.
