Mined, not created!
It is so very hard to find natural gems for sale at an affordable price nowadays. Almost all offerings are simulated or created, especially if it is corundum (ruby or sapphire) or beryl (emerald). This ring is a real sapphire, as in From out of the ground. It is simple and a nice size (small but not too small) at 8 mm x 6 mm. It is bezel set, so there are no prongs, and it is very smooth and will not catch on anything. As for the color, I am pleased to say that it is indeed blue, not black. Many mined sapphires are so dark. They look like onyx. This one is not. It is a dark, navy blue. Dark, but not so dark you can’t tell it’s a sapphire. I am very pleased with this purchase. By the way, it runs true to size.
