Bags for me need to be carried out for full enjoyment (for me) so lately I've been having a better time with my jewelry. Even if I have on my robe, I get pleasure out of just looking at my jewelry. "Elizabeth Taylor syndrome" in poor mode - but the enjoyment is the same. :smile:
All of the rings in top are in need of cleaning. The multicolor ring is just a little fun piece I picked up recently, plus the bracelet is a watermelon tourmaline.

Love all of them. We have got the same syndrome Love. Hahaha. But it's fun. Wait, is the the largest gemstone a mystic topaz or something else?

View attachment 4723131 Hoping for opinions and advice on a recent sapphire acquisition.
My jeweler is allowing me to take this ring home to decide.
I will be honest. I like the price! A lot of bling for not a lot of $$.
It’s a 2.98 carat GIA certified sapphire with .22 tcw very nice sparkly side stones set n 14k.
If you look closely, the sapphire has a silk inclusion (lower right side in pic).
I’m hoping you ladies know about stones like this. Is the inclusion a deal-breaker? And what about that dark blue color? It’s almost opaque to my eye but the GIA certified says it’s “transparent “.
All thoughts appreciated!
PS-pls excuse quarantine gel nails!

Most sapphires are routinely heat-treated to remove inclusions and improve color. But heat-treated sapphires are worth less than untreated ones. Since this stone has silks, it is possibly not treated? Should be on the GIA evaluation.

As for color, if you like this color go for it.
