This unique color is the result of a careful combination of well-balanced trace elements in the gemstone. The designation ‘padparadscha’ derives from the Sinhalese word for ‘aquatic lotus blossom’, which shares the same pinkish orange color.
Ceylon has remained one of the world’s primary sources for exquisite gems for more than two thousand years.
Under the tropical jungles and exotic terrain of this region lies one of nature’s most dramatic treasure troves of mineral wealth. At the center of one of history’s classic gem locations is the ‘gem city’ of Ratnapura. The extraordinary colored sapphire, known as a padparadscha, was originally only found in Ceylon, also known as the Island of Gems.
