Dear jewelry community,
I am writing to ask you for advice about a recent purchase I made - It is a ring that carries a .5 crt natural sapphire in light green flanked by a number of point diamonds:
However, I really am new to the field of green sapphires, so I cannot decide how to feel about this look, because I clearly can see some yellow coloring. I know this can occur in natural sapphires, but I wonder if it isn't a bit too much.
Now, the gem was advertised as an AAA quality green sapphire, not as a bicolor gem. See a picture here of the advertised look:
So I wanted to ask you for your opinion, would this be acceptable coloring for a green sapphire advertised as green sapphire of AAA grading?
I am really also unsure, how common are green sapphires that do not have such yellow secondary colorings? Would it make sense to ask for a replacement?
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you!
