I recently purchased a ring on Ebay.
The ring is made of 14KT yellow gold, with a 4.50CT blue sapphire and surrounding the stone, natural diamonds in a Lady Di/Ballerina setting. It's stunning in my eyes, but the lady that sold it had very little info other than she had the diamonds tested but didn't know about the sapphire as if it is synthetic or natural.
In my eyes, the sapphire looks too perfect to be natural, but if it is then I probably struck the deal of the century for what I paid for the ring.
Is there a home test or an easy way to determine if it is natural? If you have any idea, please let me know! Here are pictures of the ring

Ok, do not panic, all the heavy breathing you hear is not an obscene post, just me finally checking out Ame's new incredible ring!
Hey MrsE I am a drool fool tonight!!!!!!
Ah, yeah I would totally push Ame down and take her ring! j/k, I would not push her, it might damage my new rings. Yes rings, I might as well take her moissanite too!
All joking aside, Ame that is a beautiful ring and I hope it is real. I think you are the type of person to deserve the jackpot of the century! I wish I had found it on ebay, I would have jumped all over it in a heartbeat. Congratulations.
