Hi everyone,
I know most people here don't like treated/enhanced stones, but I happen to really, really like the look of Be-diffused sapphires (orange or orange/pink) and the prices are so insanely low that it would be a good occasion to have a "fun piece" for really cheap.
Do you guys have any advice where to get them from? And also, is there a risk some places have better quality diffusion than others? (ie, thin?) While I don't mind to have a diffused natural sapphire as long as the price is right, I would mind if it was synthetic.
Any ebay vendors in particular? Gemselect?
I'm thinking oval, over 1.5 cts to be put in WG halo, maybe lanbo4 setting. I like the padparadsha colors or slightly red oranges, medium darkness (don't like dark stones).
Thanks!
