Help w/ diamond sapphire anniversary ring...the saga continues

[mandas]

Hi again,

I posted around the first of the month asking for opinions on a diamond I selected from jamesallen.com. I received great feed back on the diamond and setting and moved forward. Well, since then they have been having a difficult time finding light to med. ceylon blue sapphires for the sidestones. This is a three stone 10 year anniversary ring that would have the sapphires on the sides and the 1.12ct J/SI1 that I selected in the center.

Here is the link to the setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/products/item_260-491_build.asp?module=setting

Here is the link to the diamond: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamond.asp?find=1&cid=130&item=1111994

Please help me find my sapphires for the sides!!! I am beginning to think that this ring is just not meant to be.

Amanda

Have you tried contacting Wink at winfields? He has come up with some gorgeous colored stones for pricescopers here. maybe also try The Natural Sapphire Co.? I also think Jeff White who cut neatfreaks amazing sapphire in a current thread in the show me the ring forum might be able to even cut something for you and from what i''ve read, his pricing is very reasonable.

Thank you for your suggstions. I will call Wink at Winfields on Monday and see if he can help. I saw some beautiful rings on the Winfields site.

Another question if you all don''t mind. Is it a good idea to have the diamond sent to me for inspection first? I am so new at this I am not sure what I would be looking for? On paper it looks great and I don''t know if I would recognize anything wrong.

Thanks again,
Amanda
