    This ring does not get much wear from me, it is heavy and looks gigantic on my bony fingers LOL!

    The ring itself is 7.52 Grams of 18Kt White Gold, with a GORGEOUS .86Ct Ceylon Sapphire set in the center. SO pretty and no inclusions in the gemstone, however the table on the stone is cut a smidgen too deep. Because of that, the "Cornflower Blue" does not look as dark as it really is under Incandescent lighting. There are 10 round cut Diamonds set in the design also and they weigh close to just under .70Ct. This Sapphire is a really nice example, mined from Sri Lanka and named as one of the worlds' most prized gemstones. The Ceylon Sapphire is a color called "Cornflower Blue" and can command high prices for clear and large stones. I really love the design of this ring, it reminds me of designs from the early 1920's.

    I bought this ring online about a week before the bottom fell out from underneath the banks and other financial institutions in 2008 and all of a sudden the prices for Gold and Platinum started going through the roof. I paid just $260.00 for this ring, and I had a BIG smile on my face the day I got it in the mail! The business that I got this ring from ended up closing down, they had been selling Gold jewelry with expensive gemstones at a big discount. When the price for Gold went up so much, the business changed all the prices on their jewelry and that included what they already had in as "Old Stock Inventory". I could see the company charging the higher prices for "New Stock" but they hiked up the costs on everything. People stopped buying, and the company's greed had them filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy about 8 months after that. I got some really good deals from them before they got greedy and decided to price gouge everyone though....oh yea :)

      This is absolutely beautiful! I love the stone and the setting. Someone told me the stone I have is a Sapphire too but I don't think it is. I think mine is a blue topaz. What I do know is that so many stones come in just about as many colors! This almost looks like a Tanzanite!
