Hello,got this ring .its without certification.changes color.Any opinions please ,is it worth getting it certified.
Just as a matter of practicality, this is a nice color change and a very large stone for alex, so I am assuming, until proved otherwise, that this is synthetic. Alex in that size would never be seen commercially. Could be any kind of synthetic, various species are made with color change. Also there is chpiing at facet junctions…not impossible in chrysoberyl, but more unlikely, given that the ring doesn’t look worn, so probably wasn’t worn a whole lot. inclusions look like bubbles except for the one that looks like an insect on the lower right…which could be a chain of bubbles (???). So is it worth it to send this out for a $300 ID when it might come back as a $50 synthetic stone? You know that adage, if it seems too good to be true… -royjohn
