<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 367961, member: 210"]I did take the ruby ring to a jeweler. He was very strange....he told me they were garnets, but I told him they weren't, and he asked me how I knew-I told him I tested them on my Presidium. I told him they were sold to me as garnets. Then he got huffy I guess because he was wrong (he just louped them, no other checking). Then he said somebody tried to pass them off as garnets because they are "crappy rubies." He asked what I paid, and I told him, and he said I "did okay." I left and did shopping next door, then went back and asked the other jeweler in the store if he could clean the "crappy rubies" for me. He smiled and said "Honey, a ruby is a ruby." He was very nice. So I think I will take the ring to another jeweler. The second jeweler did say they were natural, untreated. And he cleaned the ring for free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
