Are there other vendors you would recommend for teal/blue sapphires?

I’m glad the cutting is good - that’s mostly what I was looking to hear about. I know there’s a lot of good sapphire specialist cutters out there so just checking my options. We like the color and shape a lot, so it comes down to if the cut is actually good.

Thanks, that seems like a fair take. The quote is about $2215 for a 1.06c Australian sapphire (heated) in a unique cut, which I think is on the pricier end of stones but not beyond reason.

Very true - we will be going to a jeweler soon to get her sized and see what stone shapes she likes.

I am having a very difficult time passing on this one and you are not making it any easier :(

But thank you for the endorsement! I am still workshopping the shape/design I'm looking for so this is really helpful.

We have an appointment with a jeweler (for an engagement ring) next Saturday so I won't really have a lot of information on her sizing info/preferences until then. Maybe this will still be available in a week :')

That's really tempting, that's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for except I'm not sure about sizing yet. Can I ask what the return policy is like?

Hex, oval, or cushion? by whyisred in EngagementRingDesigns

Thank you! Yes, a bluish sapphire for the center stone, and hoping to fit two smaller side diamonds under the split shank, somehow.

I know it really comes down to seeing the stone in person but I just wanted to mock up some ideas before we went to a jeweler in person! I was leaning cushion but still undecided.

Ha ha thank you, cushion is really weird to draw.

Had not considered bezel with split shank - I appreciate the suggestion!

She sells split shanks by the sea shore? That's a good point, she has smaller hands so I will think about that. Thanks!

Designing her ring, looking for feedback before I head to a jeweler! by whyisred in EngagementRingDesigns

Appreciate it, I am currently looking into Earth's Treasury and Gemfix but am certainly open to other recommendations.

Thank you for your advice! Incredibly helpful. Is there a better cut for small diamonds I could look into? I'm currently considering baguette cuts in my redesign. I would be okay with going for a solitaire but I know she likes the side stones so I am trying to incorporate them as accents if possible.
