"While the color of the stone is really stunning, and the size was fine for me, the cut was really unattractive. I'm not sure what the cut style is called, but it makes the stone look fake and really takes away from the beauty. Additionally, the setting. from the side, is really obtrusive - it detracts from the what could have been simple beauty. =( I returned these earrings."

"I got these earrings to go with a pendant that I purchased from JTV that I loved. While the earrings are nice, they lack the shimmer of red to pink to orange that the pendant has. Theses are simply red. I am keeping them as I like the way they look with my long hair...the stones are large enough not to get lost."

Fast Facts
| Padparadscha (meaning "lotus flower") exhibits lush pink and orange hues. |
| Sapphire, a form of the mineral corundum, appears in a rainbow range of breathtaking hues. |
 Due to its hardness, brilliance and variety, some experts consider corundum to be the most important and most versatile of the gem families.
|
|
As a hard 9 on Mohs' scale, sapphire is ideal for all types of jewelry. They are found in every color, and all colors other than blue are considered fancy.
The most desired and expensive of fancy sapphires is the Padparadscha sapphire. The term "Padparadscha" comes from the Sanskrit/Singhalese words "padma" meaning "lotus" and "raga" meaning "color," because its pinkish-orange color is similar to that of the lotus flower. The name sapphire may derive from the Greek Sanskrit sanipriya, meaning ???dear to the planet Saturn.???
Some are found in Africa, but true Padparadscha sapphires are from Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
