I understand diamonds but new to colored gemstones.  I am looking for purple sapphires. 

Will be setting in a James Meyer yellow gold setting.  Thanks!

At the top of the colored stones forum there is a thread about reputable sites. Alternatively, you can contact a vendor and tell them what you are looking for.. and they can do the hard work of hunting. Sometimes the cutters may be able to do this, as well.

Good luck!

I have limited experience myself but I would say don't be afraid to strike up a conversation (or email thread) with some of the popular names mentioned here. I was hesitant at first but the people I contacted were all very pleasant and very accommodating.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions or for opinions on what you think you might like.  There's no dumb question except the one not asked.  A purple stone set in yellow gold is a perfect combination.

Yes I totally agree with this.  Also if you are really looking you can post options here and PSers will comment on them and give you different choices.  If it's something you really really want put a hold or reserve on it first.  This is a public forum and you don't want to risk someone buying it out from under you.

By the way a purple sapphire sounds lovely!
