Hi guys,
I am completely new to the forum - I stumbled across you all while investigating engagement ring options, and now realise I could use some help!
I have fallen in love with the pale blue green that seems to only be in Montana Sapphires... I've even found the one(!) at Gemfix, after following your recommendations on dealers. Sadly, Gemfix are telling me that they cannot ship to Australia - I have gotten a quote from G4S to do the shipping, but Gemfix are yet to agree to go this way.

If they won't help me, I'm stuck (and sad)... can you help?
I'm looking for a rectangular 2.5 - 3.5ct pale blue-green sapphire in a cushion or radiant cut. There are lots of smaller and darker stones around, but I'm very keen on the pale - I want it to be obviously not white, but that's about it!
The setting I plan to use is one I have seen at local jeweller - white gold with a single row of graduated round white diamonds and a milgrain edge, up to a horizontal setting with 4 fine double-prongs. I have seen it with a 1.7ct diamond, but the $18,000 price tag made me very nervous. Switching to sapphire makes it (much) cheaper, but still with good durability.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling post. If anyone does have any stone or shipping suggestions, they would be very much appreciated.
cheers,
S.
