Hi Sue R. We try to make our renders as close to real as possible but as you know with genuine stones, not one will be identical. I'm not sure which ring you are referring to and not sure which stone but we do offer genuine and simulated stones for most of our rings. Thanks for shopping Jewlr.

Actually the March stone, aquamarine, can be anything from a beautifully vibrant pale blue to a lifeless see-through white. I am a March baby, a rather old one, and I never even realised until 3 years ago that aquamarine could even be white!

I had joined a club online that sent out gems and when a white gem came labelled as my birthstone I did some investigating. I was so upset with what I found, they had sent me the cheapest quality aquamarine available and charged me plenty. The aquamarine wasn't the only problem gem I got in that order, I quit after one month!

Don't trust me though, Google is your friend!
