Having trouble identifying this one, it measures 11x8mm and should be a sapphire, the inclusions appear to be natural.

can anyone help me please?

I do not think it is any of the 3. It is best to have someone with proper tools help you ID the stone. Just for informational purposes, ruby is the red version of sapphire (corundum).

ok thanks

could you please still give me a hint about what kind of a stone this could be? which stones have such inclusions?

can the stone be synthetic ?
 
To me it looks like a dyed piece of quartz. I'm basing this on the fact you can see right through it and there appears to be dye collected in the inclusions and fissures, making them appear darker. I suspect most of the value is in the gold and maybe a little in the diamonds (which are small and not exceptional quality).

I will go to a jeweler tomorrow, the diamonds are VS1/F, 4 points each. They may appear a bit dark on the picture but it has to do with the lightning in my room

I wont lie, this was a cheap second hand 18k gold ring.

Yep, you said what I was thinking, iLander! :bigsmile:
 
I'm going to guess pink tourmaline.

thanks, just visited a very knowledgeable jeweler, he said "without a doubt this is a pink tourmaline".
 
I was about to guess pink tourmaline and then read down and saw your post. It doesn't look like a sapphire at all.
 
Pink tourmaline, mediocre setting design, about $300-$400 on eBay. That's my personal opinion based on too much eBay time.
