14K Yellow Gold Padparadscha Sapphire Ring, Oval 12x10mm, 8-Prong Setting R280

14K Yellow Gold Created Padparadscha Sapphire Ring, set in a sturdy 8-prong mounting — four prongs a side, holding the stone securely while keeping the profile clean. I'm neither so rich nor so snooty that I need to wear real stones all the time. Our Created Padparadscha Sapphire looks exactly like the natural variety, but cleaner and better colored, at a fraction of the cost. I can't even guess what a genuine stone this size would run — but it would land somewhere in five figures. So what is Padparadscha Sapphire, exactly? It's a rare orange sapphire, historically mined near Padparadscha, India. That source is mostly played out now — twenty years ago it produced sapphires with an incredible play of red and yellow fire, and very few genuine stones like that remain. We've found a created version that matches that same color story at a price that actually makes sense. Sapphire — Padparadscha included — is September's birthstone, so beyond just being a beautiful piece, it's a natural pick for a fall birthday. It's simple enough for everyday wear and elegant enough for evening, which is a hard combination to find. When we custom-make your ring, we can build it in any size between 3 and 16, in 1/4 size increments. We back every piece with a one-year workmanship warranty, plus a 30-day, totally unconditional guarantee — return it for any reason and we'll make it right. A stone this rare deserves more than a drawer. Wear it. ____________________________________________________________________ BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility. We can cast this in yellow, white or rose gold, and in any of 10k, 14k, or 18k. Obviously, some of these choices will affect the price, but email us and let us know what you're interested in, and we'll give you the best price we can live with. We enjoy a strong repeat business, and keep it by making good jewelry you'll want to wear at prices that we both can live with.
