Blue Sapphires - Crescent Shape Search

[tewing]

Hello -

This is my first post, and I am hoping for some help.

I am searching for a pair of Crescent shaped blue sapphires. I prefer them to have a dark ceylon blue. I am searching for a pair that would look nice next to a 2.25 carat round diamond. I would like them to "cradle" the round, and not stick out like knobs on the side!

I must have chosen a very unique shape, and am having quite a bit of trouble finding anything - but I have seen them in finished jewelry and know they are out there!

I see that half moon are slightly more available, but only slightly and I prefer the crescent shape.

I was hoping to find a pair around with each stone ranging from .5 to .75 carat.

I am looking for man made or natural.

Thank you for your help and advice!

I tend to see half moons much more often, but I think they would be too "knobby" from your description. The size of the sapphires will also need to be quite precise, to fit around the diamond nicely.

I think you should have them custom cut for you. Finding something like that, in the size you need, will be very, very hard.

I agree, going custom will be easier, they can make it specifically to be proportionate to your diamond

It does sound like it has to be custom cut and the inner and outer curvature must fit the center stone. I don''t think you''ll find a ready pair very easily. MTG has given a good list of cutters. www.whitesgems.com is another excellent cutter.
