This is my personal treasure that I first thought were different coloured Amethysts set into solid 14k Rose Gold. I fell in love with and bought the bracelet thinking they were my birthstone. At that time I paid $210.00 for it. I wore it one day and I noticed that the stones seemed a deeper more intense colour of Amethyst then usual......And as the story goes I forgot purple Sapphires existed...especially in a bracelet with so many! So I took it to my jeweler at the time to have it tested. The results were that this was indeed Natural Purple Sapphires from way back when! I totally freaked! I rarely wear the bracelet..thinking that I will damage it...
The Sapphires measure 7mmx 7mm are the ends Sapphires and the largest ones in the middle are 10mm x 10mm the bracelet measures 6.75 and weighs 19.6 grams. The beauty of the Sapphires are that all of them are a little different and none are the same colour or cut...I was told they were handcut and I believe custom made....the bracelet came from a friend who's, Mother was a nurse to the Maharaja of India and his family for many years. The family often gave extravagant gifts to family and friends as the story goes.
Absolutely beautiful
Very beautiful!!! Incredible!
It is beautiful!! When you get time take a look at my cross and bracelet, and gold Mt. Fuji ring!!! The other bracelet does look like onyx to me.
Today I am wearing the bracelet and treasure it! I love...Sapphires and collect them like Moonstones...Sapphires are alot more $$$$ and harder to find! Hard to put in my budget! Have to find a Sugar Daddy :0
valentino97 what a great idea! I will have a removeable saftey chain for my other ones! Thanks! Just asking..what do you think this bracelet might be worth? I almost do not want to know. I know I am in the business...but this is a personal item. Let me know your thoughts :)
Sapphires! I like the dimension the color differences adds. I too have jewelry I am afraid to wear. I think I have lamented before about breaking opals. I also have some beautiful stuff that snags
AmberRose, thats what drew me to the bracelet were the different coloured stones...and I love purple! I feel blessed to have found one of my dream bracelets! Will be an heirloom to my girls!
Stunning!..my birthstone!..:-)
oops! my mistake I looked and fell in love before reading, I too thought they were Amethysts...:-)
OMG...I did the same thing when I got it...lol :0
Valentino97 I checked everywhere...and cannot find anything similar on the internet. Maybe I am not looking carefully enough. Ever since I found out that they were Sapphires I have been searching to no avail on the pricing of them :( Maybe you can help me.....
PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, would you know about how to price a bracelet like this one? Since you have a mens version of one like this? Please let me know your thoughts....
officialfuel, thank you for your loving!!!
sthrn.lady thank you for the loving !!!
aeon, thank you for your attention!
I have a ring that turns blue and purple in different lighting. Is it possible to tell just by color tone if its synthetic or a real sapphire?
Sarah, depending on the age of the ring and the maker. Most times they Are synthetic unless you have proof it's natural Alexandrite. That's usually the only stone that naturally changes colours from purple to teal green. Most alexandrite a are either lab created or heat treated including Sapphires xoxoxo
Sarah, your ring sounds beautiful send me a picture and I might be able to tell you
Thanks lee, its the very large ring I posted a couple weeks ago. I was thinking that it was synthetic but was curious after seeing your post:)
Sarah, the only way I found out this was a true purple sapphire was that it looked like my mothers antique heirloom gemstone. And compared it then took it to the store for confirmation.
