<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 33873, member: 37"]I believe the saphire is synthetic. It is only 5 mm (3/16") diameter so doubt it has much value. As I said above, about 2/3 of the top of the ring has been sawed out to make the ring smaller. Only the shank is left on the one side that you really can't see in the pic. It was never soldered together so there is this awkward rough slit at the top of the ring where the two sides meet. It is all quite crude so I can't think this has jewelry value unless it is reworked properly. Weight is only 3.5 g. so not really worth messing with. Good scrap buy but not worth having it fixed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
