What makes a 26-carat Padparadscha sapphire special is that it mixes sunset pink and lotus orange in one fantastic and enticing color. Because it is so rare and highly valued, this gemstone brings a bold feel of elegance, making it suitable for those who like luxury in jewelry.
The name Padparadscha sapphire means “lotus color” and is given to it because this gem was first discovered in ancient Sri Lankan mines and has the color mix of a lotus - orange and pink. Because of its unique balance of the two colours, the stone’s beauty cannot be matched by any other sapphire. A 26-carat specimen perfectly shows this beauty and is considered an amazing achievement because it has been carefully cut and polished to maximise its sparkle, clear appearance, and color balance. It is also a higher carat weight that is not found easily.
The cost of a 26-carat Padparadscha sapphire will differ depending on its place of origin, rating for clarity, how rich the color is, and the cut. According to the market analysis conducted most recently:
The estimated cost of a gem can be from INR 52,000 to more than INR 2,00,000 per carat.
Due to how unusual they are, prices for Padparadscha sapphires tend to grow with the passage of time, as long as they are certified by trustworthy gem laboratories.
