So, just what IS a Padparasha Sapphire?
Well, a number of years ago, in a mining district of India called Padparadsha, they used to find a really intense reddish orange Sapphire. You'll still see one occasionaly 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 apparantly 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.
If you want a bracelet that creates a ring of fire on your wrist, this is it.
Look closely at those pictures -- go ahead, I'll wait... Can you see these draped on your arm? What a sight!
There are 20 8x6mm stones weighing easily over 30 carats, and they've all been hand picked for cut, color and fire!
Over the years, we've had a lot of requests for a good strong bracelet. Like other online auction jewelers, the only commercially available bracelets we could find were lightweight, skimpy things that were manufactured out of the country. Several years ago, we came to the point where enough was enough, and we sat down and designed our own bracelet.
It needed to be simple and fast to assemble, and needed to be strong. It had to have good flexibilty -- that was as important as strength. We had to be able to cast the individual links ourselves, and we found a good source for the clasp, which needed to be hidden and have a strong saftey catch. Except for the clasp, we use no solder in the entire bracelet, since the joints are hinged with balled pins.
The result was a moderately heavy, strong and flexible bracelet, that has been sold over 1,000 times now, with virtualy no problems. To our knowledge, no one else on eBay has anything like it in terms of weight, sturdiness and overall customer satisfaction.
It has a good, solid feel to it, and we guarantee you're gonna like it. We have a totally unconditional 7 day guarantee, and a full 1 year warranty on workmanship.
