I waited almost a month to receive this item. Upon receiving it, I was disappointed to find that the blue in the "blue" sapphire is actually black.  I even took it outside hoping the sunshine would show a streak of blue and it did not. The color is completely different than the picture advertised shows.  I feel the image is misleading. I have to admit that the design is beautifully done.  Too bad it's not the blue I expected.  Perhaps that is why it is being offered at such a great price.
