Description
This pair of beauties are PADPARADSHA sapphires from Thailand and the each are 6mm in diameter and weight approximately 1.8 carats each. Faceted stones are deucedly difficult to light (for me anyway) but I really like the 'fire' in these. Thought they would make great 'dragon eyes' for the rendering folk :-)
I know that if I ever saw anything looking at me in the dark with these peepers I would have to buy a new pair of shorts :-)
Thank you all very much for all your wonderful comments and I wish to thank you for taking your time to view my artistic scribblings. Your comments and suggestions are not only deeply appreciated but valued highly.
