<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4493681, member: 360&quot;]It took nearly three weeks, but I FINALLY took the ring to a jeweler who knew what he was talking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>The guy was a goldsmith and jeweler who made his own stuff. I took the ring off and he was checking it out with a lot of interest. </p><p><br /></p><p>He said it was likely European, made in Italy, and definitely 18kt gold. He was fiddling with it and he said:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The stone is loose. Here, I&#039;ll tighten it for you&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;OK&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Took out his tweezers to tweak the bezel a bit to hold the stone more firmly. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What stone is it?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I have NO IDEA. I&#039;ve asked three people and gotten three different replies, and no jewelry shop I&#039;ve asked has gotten back to me&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I can tell you what it is, gimme a minute...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>He did a refractive index test and came back. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Sapphire&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
