A parenthetical P.S. re the Yvonne Raley ring: it weights less than 2 grams & the shank is very narrow, so I'm imagining you might think it too lightweight for routine wear.
YR's stated policy is that she does not accept returns-issue refunds on sale items. I personally don't purchase any colored gem that's non-returnable, unless I'm prepared to kiss the money away. Even when a vendor is super-conscientious about posting/sending photographic images or videos that mirror what s/he sees, it's exceedingly unlikely that your computer monitor or device's screen is color-calibrated like theirs. Nor do all colors "register" with each one of us in the same way.
Bottom line as I see it: There really is no satisfactory substitute for seeing a colored stone in hand, under various lighting conditions to see if-how it "shifts", and whether it "grabs" you.
