Best place to buy decent quality 2.5mm and 3mm royal blue sapphires without totally breaking the bank?

[matt_k]

Sorry to be a broken record on the teensy sapphire kick , but I was wondering where the best place to buy quality 2.5mm and 3mm blue sapphires with rich royal blue color at a decent price? I need one teensy 3mm blue Sapphire to finish up a 3 stone ring project. I already have a very nice (and affordable) 3mm pink Sapphire and a nice 3mm yellow sapphire lined up, but I'm not thrilled with the 3mm blue Sapphire the same seller offered. I tried doing a search online, but most of the stuff being offered was really cheap (and SUPER dark) garbage.

This vendor has stones are slightly larger, and a bit more expensive, but maybe he has something in stock that could suit you? I've never bought from this vendor, so I don't know. They're still pretty dark, but maybe less so than your other options. See, for example:

She's running a sale now, with a few nice sapphires for under 200 dollars!

Yvonne's Hauynes look very nice too.

I do NOT recommend hauynes until you are veteran enough to have a setter experienced enough to set such a soft stone without breaking them. Even Yvonne's people, who are among the best, will occasionally break one by accident.

Beautiful stuff! But most everything listed is still waaayyyyy more than I wanna pay. I was shocked to see how pricey even the somewhat small-ish tourmalines are. Yikes!
