[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 373975, member: 5833"]Thanks for all the great info above. I see jewellery identified as Sajen from time to time, & have wondered without knowing. What draws me to glass on the stones is the way the colors are coming through on my monitor, the reasonable assumption that nothing more valuable than semi-precious stones would be used & the perhaps erroneous notion that they would not mix genuine with glass. Other than kyanite, which makes a poor gem because it is so easily fractured, I know of no translucent stone short of sapphire that can be the shade of blue I'm seeing. If it's really a smidge greener, then could be altered topaz. So my reasoning goes: the blue stone is the color of (very high quality) sapphire; two such stones would not be used in this bracelet; the blue stone is not genuine; the genuineness of the others has to be questioned. Unless the color is not what I think and/or they would employ both mined & glass stones.[/QUOTE]
