So, just what IS a Padparascha 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.

It is a simple ring with an inset rope pattern on the sides, with 3 pt CZ's as accents.   A good, solid, everyday ring.  Notice how strong the prongs are.

We use a special silver anti-tarnish alloy that keeps your jewelry bright and shiny for a long time to come.
