Heated vs. Unheated Sapphire

[colormyworld]

Mining, sorting, cutting, treating, shipping and lets not forget marketing. 5 dollars dollars a ct. sounds like quite the bargain for BE treated sapphires. Heck good synthetics can cost around 200 a ct.

Good synthetics yes, but your average ordinary lab sapphire is cheap, so are be-sapphires. They're sold all over ebay for next to nothing.

Yes, I too let the lowest prices I see on Ebay set my buy price also. I don't understand why most pay more than the lowest prices seen there.

And since I can''t figure out how to attach more than one file or upload pics, here''s another shot in the car not long after I got the ring. It''s not very clear but you can see how the sun lights it up.

AMAZING!

Your ring is perfect on you!
