Impressive graduated 10-strand set.
Weight: 860 carats.
Purchased in the late 90's in Tucson at the international bead show.
On original strings with original price.
Strand length: shortest 15", longest 22" (approx.)
Approx. length of all 10 strands = 187" = 15.58 feet. Wow. That surprised me when I measured it.
India cut that catches sparkles in the light.
Holes, I am told, should accommodate a wire around 22-26 gauge (I'd tilt toward the smaller size.) They have a thread running through so I can't verify.
Sapphires are priced according to weight, color, quality, cut, market .... and that's about
all I know about them besides the fact they are mentioned in the Bible and through to represent spiritual truth, goodness, and the firmaments.
Sizes range from: 1.5 x 2mm to 4x 2.5mm (approximate: give or take .5mm)
I counted approximately 175 beads on the shortest strand and 240 on the largest so I estimate around 2,000 count. That makes them about .75 .77 cents each. I can imagine healthy profits from earrings, bracelets, necklaces or from however your imagine resells and glorifies them.
I shot photos in indoor and outdoor natural light to show the variety of color play. I did not use a flash because the flash tended to wash out or enhance them. The first picture is how they look to me most of the time in indoor light. In bright natural sunlight they look bluer, in shade and indoor they look duskier. How romantic! Note that colors on your monitor may not reflect the same color as on mine.
