Alberto, I found a piece of synthetic blue sapphire, and cut some facets, just playing with trying to damage the facet edges, to mimic the ring that was in the last post.I couldn't. I don't have a lot of experience with synthetics, but would like to ask you if the type of abrasions shown on the ring, are something you would commonly see with F.F sapphire. Thanks, Barry

Hi Barry,
if we are talking about scratching on the facets, those in the pics resemble the ones leaved by a bad polishing procedure. If you are referring to the scratches/nicks on the facet's junctions, that is wear stuff and it took ages to reach that level, very difficult to replicate it in a fast way.
