The red stone was not opaque as it looks in the photo

July Birthstone Ruby Ring

Store owner replied: Hi Shirley, thank you for the feedback, and I'm so sorry the ruby wasn't quite what you pictured. We use natural stones, so every single one is a little different from the next in colour, clarity and how much light it lets through. It's part of what makes each piece one of a kind, but it does mean yours won't be an exact match to the photo. That said, it's on me to represent that properly, so I'm going back through the imagery on this listing to make sure the natural variation is shown clearly. If you're not happy with yours, please email me at sales@indieandharper.com and I'll make it right. With love and light, Cathy

Absolutely love this ring! I’ve worn it almost every day since purchasing it and I don’t think that’ll change any time soon 😊
