Maximilien’s padparadscha sapphire engagement ring
Maximilien’s padparadscha sapphire engagement ring was made to measure. It showcases a rare stone highly prized by collectors: the padparadscha sapphire, with its soft shades of pink and orange.
Maximilien’s brief
Maximilien wanted a bespoke engagement ring centred around a cognac-coloured stone with pink reflections. We therefore selected a 1.73-carat padparadscha sapphire. Maximilien had floral inspirations, so the choice of multicoloured marquise-cut stones came naturally.
The 1.73-carat teal sapphire
The central padparadscha sapphire weighs 1.73 carats and was cut into an oval by our Sri Lankan lapidaries. It also comes from Madagascar, its country of origin. Its chameleon-like colour blends orange-cognac and pink in a rather soft shade. Moreover, this hue changes depending on its exposure to light, making each stone unique. This is why the padparadscha sapphire is among the most sought-after varieties at present. Finally, its hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale ensures excellent resistance to everyday wear. All our stones are certified by independent or international gemmological laboratories.
The ring in detail
The padparadscha sapphire sits at the heart of the ring. It is then accompanied by diamonds and multicoloured sapphires (champagne, pink and padparadschas), which support the centre stone. These accent stones are cut in marquise shapes. The setting, along with the marquise-cut stones crafted in 750‰ yellow gold, enhances the stones’ colour nuances. This modern creation combines romance and contemporary refinement.
