Description

I have been told that the stone in this is several different things. (Amythist, lab created Alexandrite and created sapphire) I have never seen a created stone this shade of purple. It looks like a very good quality amythist. The stone is set in a very simple 18k gold band. It is a huge ring that I never have worn, but would like to know what it is. Any ideas as to what this could be worth?
