I just don't even know where to begin with this one- I love it! I just found a new local jeweler who put this pretty together for me (plus he works with cz!!)

That ring is very beautiful! I have a question girls. I went to JCPenneys and the jewelry woman and I were talking, she told me I had a beautiful sapphire ring and that it looked so real, she then told me she could tell it was fake because the stones were darker than real sappires. I got this ring from my grandmoter, it's from the 70's I think. Anyway, there are also diamonds in the ring that I know for a fact are real. I was always under the impression that the sapphires are real, they are beautiful and look fantastic! Was this woman crazy? Is it true about the colors of sapphires? The woman also tried selling me a ring that was sterling silver and told me I could resize it, but I'm pretty positive you can't resize sterling silver. I was so shocked when this woman said this to me. I get compliments on my ring all the time! Please help!

1. You can size sterling silver, but only a silversmith who knows what they are doing will work with SS, but yes it can be done and I believe two of our board jewelers will do it (Images and Winfield's).
2. She is totally wrong about being able to tell a real sapphire by it's color only....(especially by some salesperson in JCPenneys, which I assume means she is not a gemologist).
Real sapphires come in very very dark blue, however they are not usually as valuable as the brighter blue sapphires. It takes several tests by someone who knows what they are doing to tell an earthmined sapphire from a good lab sapphire.... If she was only going on color, then she is only guessing - IMHO.
3. AND, that was more than rude to have said that to you!!!!!
