I''m looking to get my FI some sapphire earrings for her wedding gift... but I''m kinda overwhelmed with the wide selection of sapphires. I''ve seen the junk that goes for ~$15 and the unheated/untreated ones that go for $1000+ per carat.
So what do I want?
blue sapphires on white gold studs. prefer unheated/untreated.
1 cttw
under $1K
(if i can swing it, i would like a sapphire pendant also)
I''ve seen the stuff at TNSC, but I don''t know if it is worth the price. Keeping with 100% natural, I''ve also seen minerminerals, and they appear to be much more affordable for what appears to be the same thing. That''s what really confuses me.
So, if it looks like im totally confused, and throwing my hands up in the air... i am! hopefully someone can give me some help. ask me questions... I''m willing to put in whatever input I need to. unfortunately, I dont think I have the time to get a custom set, so I''m limiting myself to an "off the shelf" purchase.
in need of guidance...
