Help Finding a Light/Pastel Yellow Cushion or Pear Sapphire?

[Misscaliente12]

Hi! I'm looking to find a cushion or pear yellow sapphire that is at least 8 mm wide. I have a max budget of $1,000 but would prefer to stay under that. I also prefer a cushion shape, but I'm starting to become more interested in pear shapes as well. I would love a soft light/pale/pastel yellow like the examples below. I have been trying to find some stones of this color but no luck

How about a chrysoberyl?

This is the closest thing I've found! I'm not sure if it's light enough for you, but that size and price are difficult to find in a sapphire.

2.25cts
8.6 x 7.9 mm
$830

*I'd ask him to get an AGL gem brief (to determine treatment), unless that doesn't matter to you. Those run about $90, including shipping.

I'm another one that says a chrysoberyl will get you closer to your goal for your budget

YES, this one. Beautiful shape, fantastic cut, and a chrysoberyl is very sparkly!

This might be a little too saturated, and it does lean a little green, but how about this cushion chrysoberyl (8.4x7.4):

This might be too far out there, but here's a really interesting 9x7.4 zircon cushion:

Now you've given me chrysoberyl cravings!
