FUCHSIA CROWN
Some colours demand attention before you have time to decide whether to give it.
Fuchsia Crown is built around a 2.78 carat pinkish purple sapphire, oval cut, with a colour that shifts between fuchsia and violet depending on the light. It is not a subtle stone. It is not meant to be. Flanking it are two half moon diamonds with round brilliants continuing down the pavé shoulders, all VVS1 clarity and F colour, totalling 1.11 carats across 12 stones, set in 950 platinum. The white of the diamonds and the platinum against that purple is a combination that works completely.
Fuchsia Crown comes with a LOTUS Gemology certificate and is presented in an original Orloff of Denmark ring box.
ONE OF A KIND.

About Sapphire
Sapphire is one of the oldest symbols of nobility and truth in the world. Kings wore it. Clergy prized it. And for good reason.
Most people think of sapphire as blue. The reality is far more interesting. Sapphire occurs in almost every colour, pink, yellow, orange, green, violet and white. The blue variety simply captured the world's attention first and never let go.
What separates a fine sapphire from an ordinary one is a combination of colour saturation, clarity and origin. The most coveted specimens come from Kashmir, Burma and Ceylon. Kashmir sapphires, mined in a remote Himalayan valley and largely exhausted by the early 20th century, are considered the benchmark by which all others are measured. Their velvety, cornflower blue is unlike anything found elsewhere.
Like most corundum, sapphires are routinely heated to improve colour and clarity. A no-heat sapphire of fine quality is genuinely exceptional and commands a significant premium among serious collectors.
Sapphire does not need to be explained to those who already love it. For everyone else, it is simply one of the most beautiful things the earth has ever produced.
