7 carat sapphire pendant

This is a beautiful pink pear shaped sapphire, approximately 15mm x 9mm and weighing in at 7 carats, set in rhodium plated sterling silver with a rhodium plated sterling silver chain. The necklace presents beautifully and wears and feels like a much more expensive piece than the price. When I bought this sapphire, I was told that it was natural. However, when I received it, I had my doubts. We did some testing, which was initially inconclusive, but oddly the stone passes as a diamond on most diamond testers. This led me to believe that it might be moissanite, but it is not. After some more analysis, we concluded that this is most likely a re-crystalized sapphire (essentially lab created by grinding up low grade sapphire, removing inclusions and other slag, and then recombining it into a raw stone that is then polished). When I confronted the seller, he conceded that this was in fact a recrystalized sapphire. It is still beautiful, whatever it is, and wears very nicely. Makes a great gift.
