Hi Everyone,
Before I start I d like to say that I think this forum is pretty amazing. There seems to be so many people willing to share their expertise in order to help others- I don t think I ve ever seen that before.
My boyfriend and I have been thinking about engagement rings for a little while now. We started with the thought of a diamond, but then he suggested a pink sapphire, and I loved the idea. We looked at the Natural Sapphire Company, but since we live in the UK, we decided the Import tax and postage would be too much.
So we found a picture of a ring online

We went to see the ring today- and I love it! The jewelers seemed really nice. I asked whether it was heat treated, and they said almost definitely, and I asked whether it was chemically treated, and they said almost definitely not.
Has any one heard of this jewelers? Also, do you think 2200 pounds (approx 3100 dollars) is a good price for such a ring?
I did see a similar ring in another jewelers for around the same price, but it seemed ''dead'' looking, and the workmanship was not great (to my untrained eye) by comparison. To me, there seemed something special about the richardogden ring.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
