I am trying to buy my wife a sapphire necklace for her birthday, unfortunately I am a bit ignorant when it comes to colored gems.

Counting just the stone, how much should I expect to pay for a Cornflower Blue 1Ct. quality pear shaped Sapphire?  Any suggestions on where to shop?  I have looked at the natural sapphire company, and the pricing is much higher that I wish to pay.  I realize that they have quality unheated stones....but I'm not concerned with the heat treatment process.  Where can I get quality heated sapphires?

Thanks for your help.

I would say nothing under $600 and not over $1500
try www.awesomegems.com
www.simplysapphire.com
www.mineralminers.com
www.wildfishgems.com
www.ascstones.com

Pears are hard to find as normally they only cut it into this shape if the rough is close to the shape of a pear.
but they are certainly worth the wait!!! and would make a beautiful necklace!!

Thanks for the help, but of the 5 suggestion that you gave, 3 don't work.

www.awesomegems.com - working page
www.simplysapphire.com - godaddy.com holding page
www.mineralminers.com - working page
www.wildfishgems.com - page does not load
www.ascstones.com - page not found

Anyone else with suggestions or can anyone comment on the 2 vendor links above that are working?

I can't offer advice, but here are the corrected links to two of the Web sites that didn't work for you:

www.simplysapphires.com (add an extra 's')
www.acstones.com (delete an extra 's')

The "Wild Fish Gems" link should be correct -- it worked for me just now.
