Padparadscha sapphires of various colors

[landscape]

This thread shares padparadscha sapphires in a variety of colors ranging from orange-pink to pinkish orange.
The color of padparadscha sapphires varies greatly in various light, even in natural light, the color will be different in the morning and noon. It might be a good idea to compare them all together, with an additional orange Fanta Spessartite (oval orange) and Pink sapphire (first on the left) as color reference

I love your ‘collecting for research purposes’, Landscape.

What awesome eye candy.
So interesting to see the color shifts going on here.

Thanks for the examples! When I think fine padparadcha, this stone comes closest to mind. Personal preference of course.

Would consider the 3 circled to be pads. The rest don’t look like?


I know the certs say so but lax color grading is quite prevalent.

Of course, it can always be due to color inaccuracy of the photos or my screen.
