nswartzb Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 9/29/2004 Member Since: 8/11/2004	I'm looking to get 2 blue sapphire side stones for an e-ring -- 7x5 mm pear-shaped, 1.75 tcw, AA gem grade. 1. Can people confirm that it is "normal" for such stones to be heat-treated? (In other words, after spending $10K or $20K on a diamond, it is not considered unsual to not get natural sapphires.) 2. Does anyone have an idea about how much such a pair should cost? Thanks NJS

Yes, heated sapphires are "normal" -- though it is possible to get unheated stones. 2. The ballpark cost is probably $600-800. Please confirm or correct the above. NJS
