A BEAUTIFUL RING that looks for all the world like rubies and diamonds--the rubies are just that; the 'diamonds' are (according to my gemologist) white sapphires. All the stones are natural--nothing manmade here--and set in 10K yellow gold, which makes it DURABLE and AFFORDABLE. The rubies are a bluer red than the scan. If you like precious jewelry, you will LOVE this ring. Marked 10K and a maker's mark--TXI??? Unsure of the age...it's so classic it could be anywhere from 40s to yesterday. It's currently a size 8, and the condition is perfect.
