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.
This setting is a good, classic mounting with a strong structure and clean flowing lines; it does a superb job of showing off the stone, with just the right amount of attitude.
There are two 3pt CZ's accenting the center stone and they just make the whole ring look better! This is a great evening ring, but would look good anywhere.
