Padparadscha Sapphire, 925 Sterling Silver Post Earrings, SE102

I’m neither so rich nor snooty that I have to have real stones all the time. Our Created Padparadscha Sapphire looks exactly like the stuff that comes from the ground—but tons cleaner and with way 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? Well, 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 sapphire with the most amazing play of red and yellow fire. Alas, no more. We do have a source, though, for a lab-created sapphire with the same awesome color attributes—and for a ton less money. These are 10x8mm ovals, weighing a total of 6.5 carats, set into a sturdy 4-prong basket. 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 doesn't set you back a month just to get a pair. 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. A brilliant pick for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s, or anyone who loves fiery elegance and timeless design. Backed by a full one-year workmanship warranty and a 30-day unconditional guarantee—return them for any reason, no questions asked. Add them to your cart—before someone else does. ______________________________________________________________________ BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility.
