TSV..RUBY, EMERALD AND SAPPHIRE RINGS

BARBIE100 — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:28:00 GMT

Watching the closeups of the rings, I feel that they look cloudy. All three of them. The Sapphire almost looks black. Is it just me?

I agree. My first thought when I saw them was that they were "paste" (terrible, I know)
But then I figured they couldn't even be lab-grown because they're so dull looking.
If someone loves it and wants to buy one, Awesome!
They're definitely not for me.

Yes, the sapphire is dark. Of the three, the emerald looks the best to me, but these designs are kind of a "been there, done that" for me. I'm more into innovative designs and multi color jewelry now. I also prefer silver settings because I find them to me much more affordable and substantial.

I just can't get beyond that price. I don't know...maybe I've been out of the jewelry loop for a while so it just seems over-priced for that look .

Too,too pricey. Actually, I do not think they are very attractive

Typically a clear emerald would be very unique & pricey. Most emeralds sold at retail have inclusions & may have a cloudy look to it.

I don't think the TV cameras do the stones justice.

I thought the rings were cute but way over priced compared to other channels.

With the exception of earrings I'm a metal gal.

Just not in to the rocks....

When l'm buying a piece of jewelry consisting of precious gemstones and 14k gold, l need to see the quality in-person before l'll buy it.

the rings are too pricey for such dainty rings. people are asking about the ruby - if it is fracture filled . no answer so far... the emerald is nice color but cloudy. the sapphire is so dark. would not recommend a sapphire like that.

The quality of the gemstones is consistent with the price. There are no high quality sapphires, rubies or emeralds that cost so little. They are fine if you just want a ring that you can say is genuine but other than that, they are flawed, inexpensive rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

In my opinion, you really do get what you pay for in gemstones. There are no so called bargains out there unless you purchase them on the secondary market where someone is desperate to sell..and needs the cash.

I learned a long time ago that real Emeralds and Rubies have inclusions. I always thought all gem stones were clear, bright in color and so pretty. The first time I saw a genuine Emerald it had the inclusions. I thought it was fake and really pricey!!! It turned out the birthstone and Mother's rings that we sold were not natural. Natural is pricey and some have funny color. Iam glad I was not the only one to see those inclusions. They do look like you could see the inclusions with the naked eye. NO loupe needed.

Gee, the emerald looked pretty good to me. Very bright and clear, in the scheme of things.

Just once I would like A+ stones, not stones that are set for mass retail.

I would hope one of these shopping channels would surprise us all and give us the "good stuff".

I know a lot buy for price but these shopping channels have the volume and would be able to get the good stuff at a reasonable price.

Not happy with dark sapphires, cloudy emeralds and sub par rubies.

I didn't get the ring but that OTO day price for the flower bracelet is what I've wanted from her in quite some time. Didn't want to pay almost 500 for it. What a steal of a price it is. Got it and will take it to a jeweler for a different clasp. Well worth the price I paid. Couldn't believe they slashed the price so much on it. Happy dance here.

That's what I was thinking when I saw the ring (briefly) this morning. If those are good stones how is the price so low?

Not that I was going to buy it, but that's what I thought when I saw it.

I was relieved that the ring didn't appeal to me even if the price was lower.

I really liked the ruby, but as someone said, we've already been served this style before....

@BlingQueen022 That bracelet caught me eye too, but I hesitated because of the magnetic clasp. Thanks for the idea to have it changed. I didn't think abou that.

@wildcat fan I haven't had too much trouble with magnetic clasps in bracelets, but I do have safety chains here to put on this or I can take it to a jeweler for a different clasp. This bracelet was a bit more than half off. I was thrilled to get it at this price. If it doesn't work out I can always return it. I have thirty days to decide. I wouldn't have purchased it at all if it was only 100 off but this was a steal of price I couldn't pass up.
