So, just what IS a Padparadscha Sapphire?
Well, a number of years ago, in a mining district of India called Padparadscha, they used to find a really intense reddish orange Sapphire. You'll still see one occasionally come out of there, but every one I've ever seen had ugly written all over it -- cloudy, cracked, oxidized and weathered. In fact, I've never ever seen a good one, but I hear the older guys talk about them with reverence -- it was apparently a spectacular stone.
Anyway, we've found a source for the same stone, except it's lab created. It's a bright reddish/orange that is a dead ringer for the original -- totally eye clean and well cut. Our pictures just don't do this stone justice -- it's like the stones are on fire. Flash and sparkle like you've never seen.
The ring itself is bordering on simply too large for many women to wear, but if you can handle a big'un, you're gonna love this! This is a fascinating braided filigree mounting that holds the 14x10mm Padparadscha in with 10 prongs. What a cool ring! Great, solid, and good for everyday wear, but will do nicely for evening wear if you've a mind to.
We use a special anti-tarnish alloy in our silver casting. This ensures that your jewelry will be bright and shiny even after you've had it for awhile.
