I inherited my grandmother’s ring, which is in the art deco style, with three diamonds in the middle (stacked - like a stoplight) and two tubular garnets on either side. I don’t think they’re rubies because they are deep red, but clear. The ring is from the 1920s, and 14K gold. A dept. store jeweler once told me the stones were synthetic because he could see tiny bubbles. Is he right?
