Description

Meet the centerpiece your next heirloom deserves. This monumental 11.15ct Oregon Sunstone delivers a saturated orange-red body color accented by a delicate flash of schiller—those microscopic copper platelets that create a subtle, luxurious glow. Its commanding face-up size (18 × 14 mm) and depth (9 mm) make it perfect for a bold custom design that lets the color do all the talking.

• Light copper schiller — adds warmth and inner life without muting brilliance

• Statement size — 11.15ct with an 18 × 14 mm face for maximum presence
