Antique ring – synthetic or real stones?

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?

It is highly possible that he was right and the stones are synthetic, I have no way of telling without examining the ring for myself. You do get inclusions in natural stones, both liquid and gas, as the previous writer said but these do not look anything like the gas bubbles that are found in many synthetics, and in particular, the early synthetics made in the 1920′s. It will be in your best interest to take the ring to a reputable jeweller and get an opinion, this may be free but at most will only cost a few dollars and then you can be sure.
