Hi all,
I am looking for a natural (heat treated ok) stone to go into a semi mount I already own that I plan to list for the upcoming Christmas holidays. I have a nice vintage mount that just sits too high for me. The setting is circa 1960s or so and resembles a sunflower. It is really pretty with high quality diamonds. The dream would be a yellow sapphire but I'm having a hard time finding one. I also think blue sapphire would be a good seller as well as a ruby but thought maybe a moonstone or opal cabochon would also look good and be popular. I don't want to sink too much in since I plan to sell it and I will have to get the shank redone at the same time since it was a expandable kind that had a piece break off. I ideally want to be all in with the rehab at 750 or less. I am going blurry eyed trying to find what I am looking for - please let me know if you run across anything you think might work well. I will upload a picture so you can see what the mount looks like. Previous stone was 8.2x7.8 and was used for another project.
Thanks!
