Final reduction here! Absolutely the lowest I'd ever go.
The asking price is USD$1,500 + international shipping. (I'll partially cover insurance and such too from my pocket.)
Listed here is a personal collection of mine I'm letting go... honestly this one hurts a lot but I get no wear out of it anymore.
I paid USD$2,000 just for the stone itself and the setting cost around $1,200+ so this is a steal.
One of the BEST sapphires I've seen to date.
1.11ct unheated Ceylonese heart-cut pad sapphire that definitely screams PAD!!!
There's absolutely no debate about it being a padparadscha here. I'd say this is more orangish pink than a pinkish orange, but both colours are definitely visible. Good saturation, good light (more lighter than darker unlike some "pads")
I originally bought this from the gem dealer called Desert Rose who trades in untreated coloured gemstones: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIoFdqB9S4/
You can see her images and videos here.
14k rose gold setting to bring it out, with 3 prongs and really minimal, but sturdy setting by Rutherford Jewellery (a local that's been around forever here). The chain is 42cm in length. 1.4mm in thickness. Nice faceted one - sparkly .
The sapphire is 1.11cts with a nice, spready 7.04x5.52mm surface up; no window, and actually doesn't go dark even in the darkest of shades. I in fact prefer this to a lot of included/poorly cut diamonds out there; one of the nicest sapphires I've seen to date, truly.
A few inclusions and carbon speckles but they don't really stick out very much. No notable external features that influence stability of the stone. (Chips, nicks, etc.)
Certificate is Berberyn to confirm the lack of treatment - it will come with the stone itself. It is a smaller lab but this is what came with it when I purchased it from Desert Rose, but she's a reputable seller.
I actually paid more JUST for the stone, and the setting cost about a grand more on top of that.
All sales final (price reflects this too!) and will have to post it only with insurance and tracking. Customs may differ from country to country.
