Cost for Small Sapphires

[sugarplum]

hi all,

does anyone know how much one should expect to pay for small pink sapphires (5 pointers)? thanks!

 

[Meher Thakker]

I presume $20-25/carat if I bought in india

thanks meher. i didn't think they'd cost very much at all. i went to a jewlery store this weekend and got some ballpark numbers.

Doesn''t it depend on tone and saturation?

 

[Linda W]

I think it would Harriet. That is what I had to pay for tiny aquas.

I would agree w/ Harriet and Linda, but I bet the color/tone/saturation etc won''t have nearly as great an effect as in the larger size stones.

 

[Harriet]

I believe smaller stones can be less saturated.

i''m going for light pink. less saturation = lower price, works for me!
