<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 160457, member: 157"]I don't think the stones are emerald and ruby. Ruby is a very hard stone and would not be marred up like the middle stone is. My guess on the red stones is Garnet. The green I'm not sure about. I DOUBT they are Emeralds. They are too clean, and I cant imagine anybody putting high quality emeralds in a brass setting. That said....there is a good possibility that they are colored glass. I can't be sure from the pictures. The wear on the large red stone is significant. I don't believe a real stone would wear like that.....especially in a piece like this....what would cause the stone to wear like that? However glass would show wear a lot easier then stone. Just MHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
