I think high quality rubies and emeralds would be higher, but I totally agree with tiny stones like these that the price gap is surprising. I wouldn't mind trying these on, but I fear they won't be a timeless style. Some Perlee is timeless...like the clover bangle, signature and single row bangles, etc. I just wish more of the new offerings were along those lines.Like others, the 5 row ring is the main one speaking to me from this collection. Does the pricing on the sapphire seem like a mistake? It is so much lower than the others.
