Sorry for the length...
I''ve been engaged for a while and have a lovely little sapphire band because my fiance wanted us to pick out ''the really nice one,'' as he puts it, together. We just recently started the hunt for a sapphire. I''m super new, but I''ve looked through the whole ''colored e-rings/eye candy'' thread, checked out all of the ''sites that sell colored gems,'' and have done quite a bit of thread searching.
What I seem to be having a problem with is getting the type of color(s) I like to be present in a stone that has the type of cut I like as well. We already have a setting picked out (Designs by Vatche ''Swan'') so the gem has to be a round. I''m quite drawn to the Portugeuse flower cuts, as well as the round brilliant. The hard part is finding unique color. The violet-blue stones grab my attention quite more readily than even the purest blues, but everything I seem to find is step cut.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a cutter who would be willing to cut a mixed color stone? I''m really open to suggestions as I am certainly not familiar with this trade at all.
