Padparadscha Sapphire, Sterling Silver Pendant, SP043

Padparadscha CZ—red and yellow fire without the $4,000 price tag. Our Created Padparadscha 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 $3,000–$4,000 extra. ’Nuff said. 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 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. Accented by clear, sparkly CZs. Very pretty. This stone is 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. A good stable setting that doesn’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.
