Pink Sapphire Heated
How do you define a Padparadscha sapphire?
I’m looking into buying a padparadscha sapphire engagement ring, but people seem to be WAY overusing the term. What is the difference between a padparadscha and an orange sapphire? And if it is ‘heated’ is it still a genuine padparadscha, or am I better off just buying a pink or orange one? How do you keep from getting ripped off when you’re shopping for one?
The previous answer has given you a lot of the facts. However a heated stone is not a real padparadscha sapphire and should be sold as “padparadscha coloured sapphire” Also I would take issue on the premium paid for natural stones, it is vastly higher than 50% and treated stones do not sell for any where near the price of an equivalent colour natural stone. (unless, of course, you are dealing with an unreliable trader who is overcharging for the treated stone)I am not against treating stones with the one proviso that it is made absolutely clear to the buyer and also stated on the invoice. Probably your best way to appreciate the colour of a real pad. sapphire is to go to one of the major gem collections and look for yourself, no one can ever describe it to you. You are right the name pad. is being tossed around like rice at a wedding for the simple reason sellers can get better prices for poor stones by using the term, most of the material on the market today is either treated, not from Sri Lanka and not a true pad. colour. You will be far better off buying an orange or pink sapphire that has a colour that you find appealing and so avoid paying over the top for a stone that is doubtful. When you buy a stone be sure to demand a certificate from a respected laboratory stating that your stone is natural and untreated, also make sure it is written on the invoice, in the world as it is you have to protect yourself. I know the name pad. sapphire carries a special kudos but unless you are an expert in gemstones it is far too easy make an expensive mistake with this particular variety.
P.S. congratulations on your engagement.
