Hi everyone, I'm a first time poster but regular lurker on pricescope. This site has been great for getting information and ideas. I got engaged and am in the process of trying to get a sapphire center stone ring and am extremely overwhelmed with where to start. My fiance knows me well enough to know that I'm picky and told me to figure out what I wanted and then he would get it since he wanted to be sure that I like it. I have a metal allergy which is why I don't wear a lot of jewelry now. I am having a hard time finding settings I like so I may have a setting made plus I have some diamonds from another ring I wanted to use but that is a problem for later.
After everything that I read through it seemed like it was best to start with trying to find the sapphire first. I am still deciding on size and shape. I think I have to try something on with different sizes or see some pictures on someone's finger that is the same size to get an idea of what it might look like. My ring size is 6.5. I have really liked the precision cut sapphire and have been looking at the sapphires cut at gemfx and white's gems. My fiance is very hesitant to buy something online and wanted to see some stones in person before we go that route. I think he wanted to have some sort of certification about it not being treated or having heat. I would like to see some as well but am not sure where the best place would be to see sapphires in person. I live in the Atlanta area and am willing to travel to see a good selection. I used to live an hour and a half from Tucson so I am kicking myself for not getting engaged sooner and checking out the gem fair there. Anyone know of a jeweler in Atlanta or driving distance that I could see some sapphires? Thanks so much
