I got a light pink lab-created sapphire, 7.5x10mm, about 3.5 ct from Gary at Finewater. Sometimes in the sunlight, I see it more as lilac. The setting is CvB's "luminere" halo.

I love that! In fact, I have a similar ring on the way from David Klass. Mine is a spess but very much like yours otherwise.
In true PS fashion, my first thought after reading that was "Oh, don't worry, you'll get used to the size in no time!"
OMG but seriously, I'm in love with that ring and the color of the sapphire! I just commissioned Gary for a 9mm asscher "royal blue" lab sapphire, but my partner wants a 3 stone with light pink sapphires and yours is exactly the color they want. Thank you for sharing pictures of your scrumptious ring!
I have two light pink lab sapphires from Finewater (settings by David Klass), a yellow gold pendant and a white gold ring. Mine are in the 5-7 carat range. They look so different in different lights.

Thank you! I think its Czochralski, but don't have it in my notes. Here is a screenshot from Gene if it helps him identify the material..it's from Russia (would love to know if he can!).

Instead of a Sapphire, would you consider Paraiba YAG?
This is the Paraiba YAG cushion that Gary cut for me last year or in 2020 (the other two are a blue Sapphire in Asscher cut and an EC Ruby, all lab stones from him):

Hi Elle! Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. Yup, paraiba yag, it’s still my favorite ring. I need to get Gene to cut me another stone soon.
Got the blue one set and just received today! Love the color and yellow gold setting.
@mellowyellowgirl here is a couple of pics of the lab Sapphire that Gary has cut for me, in case you would consider a lab stone.
I can't justify the price of a natural Sapphire, heat or unheated, for the size that I would like, as true blue is not high on my list. Hence I went down the lab stone route to tick the "blue" box.

It's stunning! I wear mine (also from Gene) all the time.
I love to follow fellow PSers on IG, if you want to send me a dm (you know, if I’m not already following you).
After an embarrassing number of starts on design ideas for this lab sapphire, I just found a ready-made setting on ebay for only about $400 and decided to try it. It is listed as 14k and diamonds, from diamondjewelry8, shown below. We shall see!
Has anyone bought from them before?
