Macie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 877 Last Post: 2/27/2009 Member Since: 10/23/2005	As I have posted before I am helping a friend to pick out a e ring for his fiancé, my very best friend. She doest want a diamond and she does not want a sapphire that looks like everyone else (she is very picky). Here are the final sapphires. All three choices are heat treated and come with certification (they all come from a wonderful Lebanese owned store here in Fla) Also can someone tell me why most sapphires are most always oval cut? The rest of the budget that was meant for the sapphire is going to be used to make a custom alternating sapphire and diamond eternity band. Here is the first one it is a wonderful shade of velvety violet blue. My friend doesn't really like ovals but the two we saw today changed her mind. Here are the specs 4.68 CT 10.7 X 8.4 X 5.6 MM

JDgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 396 Last Post: 6/26/2006 Member Since: 10/30/2005	I think I'd go for the green one. There's something more unusual and unique about having a green sapphire. And the color is gorgeous!

Rod Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,260 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/28/2005	They are all pretty. Has your friend considered a "blue" diamond? They are quite beautiful and a well cut blue diamond has the fire and scintillation of a real diamond. "Got Diamond? Hey.....Men Wear Diamonds Too!"

Patty Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,031 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 12/7/2003	That first one is stunning! I think I read once that most sapphires are oval cut because that is the shape that the corundum tends to be or to grow. I think they said that round sapphires are more expensive because you don't find that shape of rough as often.

Macie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 877 Last Post: 2/27/2009 Member Since: 10/23/2005	Hi Rod I told her about blue diamonds however she wants a sapphire. Apparently in the days of old sapphires meant loyalty and sincerity. That and her gram's e ring was a sapphire.

Rod Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,260 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/28/2005	Then, I would personally choose stone 1. The faceting and color (at least in the picture) seem the most vivid to my eyes. "Got Diamond? Hey.....Men Wear Diamonds Too!"

GGLW Cut Rock Total Posts: 195 Last Post: 4/5/2006 Member Since: 11/30/2005	Personally I love the green one just because it's a little more unique. But if your friend wants a sapphire, I would go with the first blue one since that is what most people would envision when they think of a sapphire. Those colors are so beautiful and vivid...RHR anyone???

Bridget S. Ideal Rock Total Posts: 509 Last Post: 1/22/2007 Member Since: 6/21/2004	I agree with the other posters, #1 between the blues, but there is something very appealing about #2 : ) Where about in Florida, I live in the South east region of Florida? I wish you well, Bridget Pterodactyls rule. Except for the whole being extinct thing.

IslandDreams Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,011 Last Post: 12/3/2008 Member Since: 11/19/2004	I like the 2nd one. The green color is unique and I like the cushion-esque shape better--it's more unique for a sapphire.
