Padparadscha CZ, 925 Sterling Silver Pendant, SP085

Padparadscha CZ—sunset fire without the five-digit price tag. I’m neither so rich nor snooty that I have to have real stones all the time. Our Padparadscha CZ looks remarkably like the stuff that comes from the ground—but tons cleaner and with a lot better color. Oh, and it’s affordable. I can’t even guess what a real one this size would run, but it’d be in the five digits for sure. Oh, you ask—just what is Padparadscha Sapphire? It’s basically a bright orange sapphire from the mining district of Padparadscha, India. It’s essentially played out now, but 20 years ago it was producing orange sapphire with the most amazing play of red and yellow fire. Alas, no more. We do have a source, though, for an orange-red CZ with the same awesome color attributes—and for a ton less money. This pendant is a simple, classic design. It’s more about the stone than the pendant—but the pendant itself is not quiet. A single CZ accent above the stone at the bail—altogether, a nice package. (If you want something besides the CZ accent, let us know...) We cast our own mountings and will never use flimsy “snap tight” stuff. It allows the most show of stone for the least expense in silver. It’s a good stable setting that won’t set you back a month just to get one. Crafted in solid .925 Sterling Silver, specially alloyed to be highly tarnish-resistant, the metal stays bright and beautiful with minimal upkeep. Since it's still 92.5% pure silver, it qualifies as Sterling Silver—just better. Backed by a full one-year workmanship warranty and a 30-day unconditional guarantee—return it for any reason, no questions asked. Make her smile. Make her sparkle. ______________________________________________________________________ BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility.
