The Science of Lotus Color
| Color Aspect | Measurement | Padparadscha Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Hue Angle | 35° (Pink-Orange) | 30-50° |
| Color Saturation | Vivid (Owner's Grade) | Medium to Strong |
| Light Stability | Consistent | No Color Shift |
| Cutting Ratio | 1.44 (8.16/5.65) | 1.3-1.5 Ideal |
The 1.44 length-to-width ratio creates an elegant elongated oval that enhances the color play, while the 3.81mm depth (67.4% of width) concentrates the lotus hue perfectly. What makes this padparadscha exceptional is how the cutting proportions work with the material to maintain that sunrise/sunset color from all viewing angles - a hallmark of true collector-quality padparadschas.

Collector's Insight: The 8.16mm length is particularly significant for padparadschas - it crosses the 8mm threshold where the color becomes truly impactful in jewelry settings, while the 3.81mm depth (67.4% of width) ensures the stone won't appear too shallow. This proportion is precisely why the color remains vivid face-up while still showing the characteristic color zoning when tilted - the defining feature of natural padparadschas. The 1.53ct weight represents the sweet spot where padparadschas show their best color without compromising availability.
