It carries more weight than a 7.03 x 5.06 mm oval usually does, which means it faces up a little smaller than 1.13 ct might suggest, and the depth is where the colour saturation comes from.

The cut is a mixed cut: brilliant faceting and step faceting used together rather than one style throughout, which is how most fine ovals in coloured stone are cut. The stone is on the deep side for its outline, and that depth is doing work — it is where the saturation of the colour comes from. Under warm indoor light the pink comes forward; in daylight the violet cast reads more clearly. That is a lighting response, not a colour-change effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurplish Pink and Padparadscha\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePadparadscha is a colour name with a narrow definition: a sapphire has to combine pink \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e orange, in a soft, pastel balance, with neither hue dominating.
