Help with sapphire ring

[mommylawyer]

A local jewelry store has this sapphire ring on discount for $2400. (I only want the ring, not the earrings.) I'm told it's a natural sapphire in 18k white gold with a double halo of natural diamonds. It's beautiful in person. I've looked around online and it seems like a good deal to me, but is the sapphire too blue to be natural? Is the whole set too perfectly matched? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I would prefer to support my local jewelry store rather than buy online. And a blue sapphire ring has been on my wish list forever. Please help!

@mommylawyer Hi, does the sapphire come with a certificate from a reputable lab to confirm it is untreated? That has to be a 'must" in my books due to the price of the ring!

I spoke to the manager. It's a natural sapphire, but it's heat treated.

I would want a certificate stating that.

That's a good idea @lovedogs; I would want it for the appraisal anyway. The sapphire is the most beautiful shade of blue in person. I don't mind that it's heated, but I never would have thought to ask if @Niffler75 hadn't mentioned it. Honestly, the value of the setting alone seems worth the price to me: 18k white gold with 0.68ctw diamonds. I love 18k white gold for fine jewelry. Adding a few more pictures. Thanks again.

Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate your help and lovely comments, You all are awesome! The ring is a birthday gift, so I won't get to wear her until October, but I'm really excited that she's mine.

Thank you! I can't wait to see your new bling. I searched your posts and found a gigantic ice cream feast. I hope your new bling is equally delightful.

My birthday is on saturday! Ice cream is most definitely compulsory on birthdays in our house!

Awfully pretty for that price -- even heated!

Could we see a hand shot??

 

[mommylawyer]

I'll post a better hand shot when I pick her up from my safety deposit box in a few weeks. I tucked her away so I wouldn't be tempted to wear her before my birthday. In the meantime, I did bring this little garnet beauty home with me from the jewelry store (14k rose gold with diamonds)

Could I ask who made that beautiful garnet mount? It is lovely.
