[QUOTE="Yellow2003, post: 4833712, member: 46236"] Know the jewelry business pretty well. The markup is way higher than 20% particularly in the under $1000 range. Yes you can haggle and deal. Stay away from the Chain stores, look for a good sized independent owner/operator. Where they know what they are talking about. Saphires can be heat treated to improve the color, but a good eye will see it very easily. fake stones (Lab Created, Created, etc) are dirt cheap STAY AWAY. A quality saphire should be dark, but easily discernable as blue. Most have some internal flaws, but not very noticible. (Flawless do exist, but the price skyrockets) PM if you have any specific questions Bret [/QUOTE]
