Is there a good source light silver-blue sapphires?

[EventH]

Hello, I am looking to find decently-cut light silver-blue or steel-blue (not periwinkle) sapphires in the .2-.5 carat range for a custom piece. (Lab created is fine)
For example:


(I know this shade isn't as in-vogue as a medium blue but the color is important for this project.)

I have searched through probably a dozen different sites, but have found very few which seem to have anything close to I am looking for, other than the one above. Are there any other reputable sources?



If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

Are you open to Montana sapphires? Those might potentially be closer in color. What about spinels? There are silver blue spinels in that color.

On the Montana front, are these too green?

I like the shade of a lot of Montana stones but it is hard to find them at that size with good cuts.

That australian stone has a wonderful color!

Oop, forgot to ask - Just one, or a pair like the example photo? Do they need to be round?

Take a look at the Chatam Aqua Spinel it might work http://www.africagems.com/created-gemstones.html

This might be going too far toward green, but if you're looking for a single oval:

Jerry Newman of Gemart Services might have one or more Montana sapphires that fit the bill.
http://www.gemartservices.com/stones.php?id=monsapp001. It doesn't hurt to contact him and ask.
Plus his cutting is beautiful!
Good luck with your search!
