Padparadscha clarification (important)

This sapphire is accompanied by two independent certificates.
While AIG classifies the stone as Padparadscha, IGI describes it as a Pink Sapphire.

This difference is not uncommon: the definition of Padparadscha is color-based and interpretations may vary between laboratories, especially in stones showing a fine balance between pink and orange tones.
What both institutes fully agree on is that the stone is natural and UN-HEATED, a key rarity factor.

Photography
Original photos, taken with iPhone 16 in a lightbox at 5000 K, no retouching.

Shipping
FedEx, fully insured.
