It gave us the feeling it might have been a really nice but fake stone, and she had been dishonest and didn't want us to find out. Overall, nice jewellery. But the experience left us feeling very dissapointed. And we are glad we did not buy the...

We looked in so many stores in wonderful Rome . One night as we walked back to our temporary Roman home we discovered Argentia Jewels, a beautiful store in the Monti District.
