I love this because of the fine quality of the workmanship but most of all the care taken to make a versatile jewel that can be worn at least two separate ways. Maybe this jewel could be given over several special occasions - as the solitaire and then with the love heart added later? This heirloom jewel is sure to impress!

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings
