Mid-Century Platinum Padparadscha Sapphire Ring

This ring features one of our rarest gems: a natural padparadscha sapphire, characterized by a delicate orangey-pink hue. The term padparadscha is derived from the Sinhalese language and means "lotus blossom," referring to the similarity between these gems and the flower's sunset-pink color. This gem is set in a beautiful platinum mounting crafted during the post-war years, featuring two rows of bezel-set round diamonds and channel-set baguette diamonds for symmetrical, sparkling accents. The sides of the ring are embellished with milgrain details, and the sapphire is set with claw prongs, adding a vintage flair. The neutral silver-grey tone of the platinum is a perfect backdrop to the delicate pinks and oranges present in this exceptional gem. With its rare and stunning padparadscha sapphire, this ring is sure to be the envy of any September baby, making it a perfect statement piece for those celebrating a special birth month.

Details: 900 iridium platinum ring with 1.07ct cushion padparadscha sapphire (thermal enhancement only, Ceylon origin) and .30ctw round and baguette diamond accents (VS GH); circa 1950.
