Peach Sapphire Engagement Rings – Introduction to Peach Sapphires<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Types of Peach Sapphire engagement rings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Peach Sapphire engagement rings typically possess a warm orange colouration with a hint of pink. There are varying choices when it comes to\u00a0Corundum\u2014 appearing in an array of yellow and orange hues that includes bright lemon, soft peach, and vivid tangerine.<\/p>\n

Padparadscha Sapphires<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The name Padparadscha derives comes\u00a0 from the Sinhalese word padmaradschen<\/em>, a colour used to\u00a0describe a\u00a0Sri\u00a0 Lankan lotus flower. \u00a0Padparadscha\u00a0 Sapphires \u00a0are extremely rare and desirable for jewellery. They possess an intensely beautiful colouration\u00a0and few gemstones\u00a0rival their distinctive\u00a0blend of pink and orange hues. They are sometimes described as possessing a colour similar to sunrise, salmon or even the flesh of a ripe guava.<\/p>\n

Both clarity and cut are extremely important to the Padparadscha Sapphire. Low heat treatments improve clarity. Such treatments are hard to detect and generally acceptable. Treatments that are not acceptable include Beryllium treatments,\u00a0dyed or coated stones. Sometimes referred to as “Pads,” this form of Sapphire is often faked owing to the desirability and price of a true Padparadscha Sapphire. For this reason, certification plays an important role in reassuring clients who purchase this type of Sapphire. Many vivid orange Sapphires originating from India are wrongly marketed as Padparadscha. Owing to the rarity, prices are often subjective and buyers face the demands of suppliers in possession of a limited supply.<\/p>\n

Padparadscha sapphires\u00a0come largely from Sri Lanka, but also\u00a0Madagascar and Tanzania. Some insist the true Padparadscha Sapphires originate\u00a0from Sri Lanka. Padparadscha Sapphires\u00a0from Madagascar typically possess a stronger pink colouration\u00a0than orange. For this reason they are usually less expensive than Sri Lankan examples. In the East, markets favour the orange-pink variety, whereas European markets favour a pink-orange colouring.<\/p>\n

Peach Sapphires<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sapphires described as “Peach” coloured are not necessarily Padparadscha. They possess a colour that closely resembles peach and this description is in itself subjective. Colour distribution, tone, clarity and intensity will all play a role in the cost of your peach sapphire engagement ring.
