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, size 7 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 an 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. Video of gemstone available on request. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. ANY questions, please ask.
Sapphire is the birth stone for those born in September. Sapphires are 9 on the moh's scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)
Sapphires and rubies are the same, other than the color.
Trace amounts of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium, or magnesium produce the colors.
