Padparadscha sapphires are highly valued in the gemstone market due to their distinct and alluring color, which is a delicate blend of pink and orange hues. The unique color of padparadscha sapphires is often likened to the vibrant hues of a lotus flower in full bloom, hence the name derived from the Sinhalese term for the tropical blossom.

The Ratnapura district in Sri Lanka, also known as the “City of Gems,” has a rich history of gemstone mining and is renowned for producing some of the world’s most exquisite sapphires, including the coveted padparadscha variety.
