Hi everyone-
I have been reading your forum recently and have loved learning about colored gems! I have admired them ever since I was a child when we would spend a lot of time at the Smithsonian in their Minerals, Crystals and Gems gallery. I have been hooked ever since!
I am searching for a yellow sapphire ring for my birthday, although a yellow diamond would be wonderful, the occasion does not merit one yet
I found this one on Diamonds by Lauren and wanted an educated opinion about the sapphire's quality. They mention that it is likely heated but don't mention diffusion. http://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/loose-sapphire-283ct-oval-yellow-sapphire-bright-color-r3207
If the opinion is that the sapphire is nicely cut, what questions do you recommend I ask of the seller to determine whether the ring is fairly priced?
Many thanks in advance!
I look forward to learning more about these beautiful gems.
Anne
