Obviously, a diamond has much higher value and luster, but doesn’t compare in terms of color face up. It was a 20.84 carat Padparadscha sapphire which fetched US$18,000 per carat at Christie’s auction house. The finest Padparadscha sapphire I have seen was sold at Christies back in 2005 for USD 374,400. Others have also been known to relate the color to an Indian spice called Saffron. If you ask me, it is more of a mixture of the Lotus flower and the color of a gorgeous sunset. The Sinhalese people used it to describe an aquatic lotus blossom with a similar salmon-like color. In fact, the color of the stone is where the name Padparadscha came from. The stone promotes a fantastic orangy pink color. The Padparadscha Sapphire, for example, is a fantastic specimen of color.

Sapphires are found in the entire rainbow of hues, but padparadschas, with their unique color, are the only subset of sapphires known by their own name. The most valuable of all sapphires, the padparadscha's name is derived from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom-a bloom that shares the same pinkish-orange color. Gubelin and the Swiss Gemological Institute certify this gem as Ceylon in origin, underscoring its superb quality. While some padparadschas reflect deeper and more fiery tones, this lovely gemstone showcases the beautiful sunrise hue displayed by some of the finest padparadschas. The gem displays the orangey-pink hue for which padparadschas are coveted.
