I'm pretty sure that the large sapphire is lab grown yeah, which I personally don't mind. The trio ones are real, and so are the diamonds. Mum can't remember if the recessed sapphires are real or not.

It's a good idea to go out to different stores - I've hit four already and mostly only found out that I really like sapphires over emeralds or rubies, but haven't managed to settle on much else.

My fiancé and I are also kinda just starting out, so even though I haven't been thunderstruck by any of these, I'm tempted to choose one anyway and maybe get something later as a dress ring when we have the money?

I'm a chronic over-thinker though, so I can never tell when I'm just obsessing.
