They just said the color looked off and poked them with a diamond tester.... I may have someone else look at them as well.
Wow well to my surprise I had my jeweler tell me they were all synthetic... interesting but oh well
The sapphires appear to be roughly 3.5mm x 3.5mm
Thanks everyone! I will get dimensions on the sapphires as soon as I can but they are quite small! If not art nouveau then what might it be?
I bought this beautiful 10k art nouveau ring with diamonds and sapphires. It is worn but still very nice! I was wondering, what cut are they?...
That looks about right! Thanks!

Thanks guys! As for how I did it I dont want to give exact details myself but there are guides online. But essentially just replacing the glass...
