Hi everyone,
I am very interested in a padparadscha, am a newbie and have been lurking in this forum for a little while.
What do you all think about this one from finewater gems? I know some of you may not consider this a pad and it would be extremely expensive for "not a pad".
I was originally searching for a smaller (maybe around 1ct) unheated and checked many websites including gemfix, Jupiter gems, africagems, etsy etc. but didn't see anything that I really liked. A good number of them appear to be poor cut (to my rookie eye). The one from finewater caught my eye right away and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I like the saturation of the stone and how it's more on the pink side which is what I'm looking for. I don't really love the too pastel colors of a "typical" pad and some of them look almost like morganite to me, but of course that's just personal taste.
I was offered 15% off from original $8000 price, would I be paying way too much for what many may consider to not be a pad? It comes with a lotus report, and in the report it does say it's a pad.
If pads don't work out for me I would probably just go for a unheated pink sapphire.
Thank you for your advices.
