I'm neither so rich nor snooty that I have to have REAL stones all the time.  Our Created Padparadsha Sapphire is molecularly the same as the stuff that comes from the ground, but tons cleaner and with a lot better color.  Oh, and it's affordable.  If you happen to want a matching pair that's real, and of similar quality, I can get 'em for you, but it'll run at least $3-4,000 extra.  'Nuff said.

Oh, you ask, just what IS Padparadsha Sapphire?  Well, it's basically a bright Orange Sapphire from the mining district of Padparadsha, India.  It's essentially played out now, but 20 years ago, it was producing bright orange Sapphire with the most amazing play of red and yellow fire.  Alas, no more.  We do have a source, though, for a Created Sapphire with the same awesome color attributes, and for a ton less money.

This well built ring holds a very pretty stone.  It weighs about 4.5 carats, and measures 11x9mm.   It's large enough to throw lots of color, but not large enough to be uncomfortable or flashy.
