Expert notes:
When a padparadscha sapphire is exceptional due to its color, the renowned laboratories do not hesitate to award it with an adjective. If this stone had more yellow and orange in it, it would have been called ‘Hawaiian sunset’. In this case, because the salmon color dominates the stone in a homogenous way, the term ‘Sunset’ is used to define this sapphire which is salmon, but not too much, powdery pink with a few splashes of candy pink. More than 5 carats for such a color, it is definitely a rare collection stone.
