Me too.
I need another ring and another loose gemstone like.... :wall: E95D9881-C23B-4F8E-B8EB-49FFF276E9E3.jpeg CE28B6FF-2A24-4E70-AEFC-61426856DDCE.jpeg
im not sure how you shop on Instagram, do you message for the price?
Anyhow I found this one on Etsy. Excuse my rubbish screen shot photo. It looks more opalescent in the video. Hoping I can fit it in this Ivy & Rose setting.

Very nice, Bron! That looks like a good one.

its 2.11 carat and was $150 with free shipping so I’ll see what it’s actually like when it gets here.

That’s an amazing price!

I feel like their stuff is too good to be true, but some of them legit look good in videos. Definitely excited to see how yours looks!

Yes, I wondered too but I figured for the price it was worth a punt. They have substantial positive feedback and everyone seems to have been happy with this gems.

Is it possible to get a pink without the black dots?

My teeny tiny sapphire arrived today. I find it incredibly hard to capture the colour. But it certainly glows from within in person. Whelpppp!! Might have just started a major new obsession. CAFFC5F4-9BA3-43B5-930E-43E751C3FB6A.jpeg

Searching on IG, I never realized how many of these stones are out there! And they're not even as cheap as I thought they'd be! Anyhow, I bought one.... :roll2:

Squee! So pretty. How would you describe the color IRL? Lilac? Violet?

Did you guys find it hard to choose one? I had a horrible time. He sent me oodles of photos and videos. It was just hard choosing something that's supposed to be "flawed" (poor word choice) so my brain was spinning.

So far, everyone's done an excellent job choosing!

It's here! This is my second sapphire from horoscope.gems on IG. It's more included than the first and has a pretty substantial window, but the stone is such a unique and beautiful color that I am able to look past the flaws. It is impossible to get a good picture, but the stone has a magical fairy glow in the right light, showing a mix of pink, peach and blue.

Wow they are both gorgeous. I love how different they are - but share the same ethereal qualities!

This one was from Etsy. I was worried it was a little overpriced since it's smaller than the others, but it is much nicer. I knew I would be disappointed if it sold out because this opalescent blue seems to be so rare, so I figured it was worth a shot. Glad I was right! :)

It really is stunning. If you see any others in inventory I’m sure other PSers would be happy to snap them up haha

Wow, you have just started the next "grey spinel" trend - watch them soar in price in the next few years! They are truly lovely.
