Severely included, as to be expected in a ruby of this size. Accent stones are clear topaz. Chain provided may not be exactly as shown. I have a large number of rhodium coated silver chains, some marked .925, some not, none of which have been tested as rhodium is more expensive than gold these days, and testing may require a re-plating. Not all chains marked .925 these days actually have as much silver content as they should.... but the price on the one I provide is right...I provide it at no additional cost.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Setting gemstones requires steady hands and good eyesight.... attributes I no longer have. So, I sell this with a rhodium plated silver setting, ready for you to set, or have someone set for you. There are YouTube videos on how to do this.... as long as you have the requirements mentioned re. hands and eyes. You may want to have a gold setting made for this gem, now or in the future.... but the silver setting is and attractive alternative that is included at no charge if you want to use it. personally I see nothing wrong with rhodium coated settings, as they have the appearance of white gold. To me it is the main gemstone that is important, and I sell only earth mined genuine gems.

Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.

Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.
