I'm neither so rich nor snooty that I have to have REAL stones all the time. Our Padparadsha CZ looks exactly the same as 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 one run, but it'd be in the 5 digits for sure.

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 Sapphire with the most amazing play of red and yellow fire. Alas, no more. We do have a source, though, for a simulated Sapphire with the same awesome color attributes, and for a ton less money.

This ring is simply awesome. A very strong, antique style filigree in .925 Sterling Silver. We use a special alloy in our sterling silver that is tarnish resistant, so your ring will be beautiful AND hassle-free for a long time.

This stone in this ring is an excellent combination, one that you will enjoy for years to come.
