Cheap Finds at the Gem Show

[cellentani]

Well, today was not as fun. I discovered that a stone in one of the baguette & round bands was missing (you can even see it in the photos - I never noticed!), and one of the rubies also fell out of my other new ring. I was able to exchange the baguette band for another without any problem, but I ended up returning the ruby ring. I was worried that it would be too much trouble, but now I''m having second thoughts because I found the exact ring in tsavorites: http://www.anatrajewel.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AJ&Product_Code=cro-200-r001840-ts-&Category_Code=R

Notice how the tsavorite band is $560, and I paid $230 for the ruby band.

You can see more closeups of the ruby band in SMTR, both before the stone fell out, and after.
