Hello!
Total newbie here and I am in the market for a very light peach/pink maybe "apricot" colored sapphire for my custom e-ring. I've searched for a few months online and I have checked all the PS referred vendors sites and sent a few emails but it seems that no one has what I'm looking for on hand and wont be making trips for several months or until next year.
Last weekend I was able to chat with Bill Vance at the gem and jewelry show and he had a beautiful pear sapphire in a light pink/peach shade but it just wasn't "the one" for me but at least I was able to see something close (color) to what I'm wanting and I was able to rule out pear shapes.
Here is what I'm searching for:
-very light to light peach/pink/apricot sapphire
-8-9mm in cushion/oval shape but I really prefer cushion
-not particular on it being a Pad Sapphire
-I'm hoping to find something that doesn't exceed $3000. Is this reasonable?
-would prefer no heating but not that big of a deal to me if it's the only treatment
I've seen maybe two sapphires at Gemfix that I'm still considering ordering just to view them in person but haven't bitten the bullet just yet because of price or size issues.
I have also included spinels in my search and so I'm not opposed to them but sapphires are more special to me.
If you dig up anything in your resources that might be close send it my way! I appreciate any and all efforts on the search for my perfect stone.
