Are these signs of lab created sapphire?

I tried to get a close up.

That looks more like a sapphire stimulant, perhaps a piece of glass or plastic that was coated...

It didn’t test as glass with the diamond tester though. The diamond tester was used to test glass, cubic, and the other rings tested as such. This one tested as sapphire. I didn’t know that diamond testers could do that

There are some that can @nala. However, I would never rely on a diamond tester as it is often even wrong when it comes to diamonds. Based on the pix it does look glassy but you know that no one can tell based on pix.

Lab sapphires test on “gem testers” exactly the same as natural. A gem tester can be useful to ID glass vs something else but not for helping you know if it’s from the ground or out of a lab.
The tell tale signs for lab created a “no inclusions” and even colour but of course natural gems can also be clean and even. Curved striae is a give away as are minute gas bubbles but you need a practiced eye / higher magnification to see these things.
I find that looking at the quality / workmanship/ gold carat of a piece of jewellery helps indicate whether or not a gem is likely natural or lab created.
With this ring, to my eye the quality of the wee diamonds is low, the quality of the workmanship is lower end as the centre gem isn’t even sitting square and if the metal is lower than 14kt, I’d assume lab created.
That said, there’s nothing “wrong” with lab created gems just so long as the price you pay reflects that fact.

I have no idea but it's nice seeing you post about rings again Nala!!! I've missed it! It was one of those random "normal" things for me! Hope to see more!!!!

Awwwwe! Ty! Whatever this stone is, I love her just the same!

I think it’s pretty and it looks great on your hand. Can you show an underside of the ring up close?
Up her skirt, I’m so sorry to be so bold?

Of course! Here she is in her presentation box! The pawn shop guy said she came with it and since I bought her in Salt Lake City (I’m on a road trip), I think it could be hers. She is 14k gold.

It's a very beautiful piece.

 

[Sunstorm]

What a beauty!!!

 

[nala]

Thanks @chrono and @Sunstorm!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Pretty ring and the box is the icing on the cake, love them both!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Looks beautiful on you!!!!

 

[nala]

Update-took her to my jeweler and he said she is a synthetic!

 

[chrono]

Bummer! That said, the ring itself is beautiful and something I will continue to wear (if it were mine), even knowing it's a synthetic.

 

[Slickk]

Disappointing maybe, but it is still a beautiful and unique ring. It looks great on you. I love it. You find the best rings @nala

 

[Catmom]

Even if it's a synthetic, it's still a beautiful ring. I LOVE the setting!

 

[nala]

Ty all! I do love it. Considering I paid a wee bit more than gold weight for it, I’m not complaining!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Synthetic or not, it's a gorgeous ring, adore that setting.
