The GTJ founder and founder left for the first time since his retirement, leaving the Bangkok office to me, Ilmo, but it seems he wanted to dig a little deeper into Vietnam, a place he visited a while ago, and he sent me a gem from there to encourage me.

GTJ started out as a corundum specialty store, but in 2024 it is returning to its roots in corundum and focusing on rubies and sapphires.

This time, we will introduce a masterpiece that the founder of GTJ, a veteran with 34 years of experience in the business, was particularly impressed by out of the countless Padparadscha sapphires he has seen.

Sapphires with a color between pink and orange are called padparadscha, which means lotus flower in Sanskrit.They are famous for being very rare, and are one of the most valuable sapphire colors in the market.

This piece is an unheated padparadscha sapphire from Vietnam, and is a very beautiful and adorable stone with a stunning padparadscha color that blends pink and orange.It is a first-class stone that has a slight silkiness, as is typical of Vietnamese sapphires, but also emits a strong neon orange-pink sparkle.

It has a slight silky texture, and when photographed with LED light, the light catches it and it has a beautiful purple silky texture like Kashmir sapphire.

There was an orange inclusion in the corner, which was quite large at just under 2 carats in the BEFORE state. However, it was extremely difficult to remove it without affecting the color too much, and to keep it at over 1 carat. However, it is a masterpiece that was created through close contact with a great master in Vietnam and many discussions with Piac-chan.

The shape is shaped by removing the inclusions from the cushion into an oval, and the crown side features a table cube cut that makes the GTJ's original box shape float around the table.

There are a few bubble-shaped inclusions, but because they are transparent, they blend in with the delicate sparkle of the flower cut and are completely invisible to the naked eye.

The neon-like padparadscha is said to be unique to Vietnam, and perfectly finished stones of 1 carat or more are extremely valuable.

Please enjoy this first-class item that is too beautiful, too cute, and too rare in your hands.
