In August of 2015 I was able to buy one of the new stones from Master Cut Gems [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/master-cut-gems-august-udate.215434/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/master-cut-gems-august-udate.215434/[/URL]

These are my photos of the 1.35 ct lavender sapphire. It is a 7mm x 5mm sapphire oval. It is a deep stone at 5mm.

What a gorgeous lavender!!!
How will you set this beauty?
 
After much searching and staring at settings I have picked a setting for the stone. It is a Stuller setting.

I've ordered the setting through my local jeweler but since it's one of their new 3C settings I don't know how long it will take for them to make and ship it. The WAIT begins...

Thanks Acinom! I always look over 10,000 settings at least three times before deciding. The depth of this stone (5mm) ruled out some settings so it was a shorter process this time. =)
 
So impressed with this Stuller setting; they really have some lovely options especially lately... and I think your Purple Sapphire will look amazing in this setting - looking forward to handshots in the hopefully-not-so-distant future!
 
Oooh! That Stuller setting is a great find. Your beautiful stone will look stunning in it.
 
Lovely stone and setting, and I look forward to seeing the finished ring.

DK :love:
 
Lovely spinel! I also like the setting. Post tons of pics when the ring is done. :)
 
Very pretty! I think it will look great in that setting! :appl:
 
Ooh! Lovely stone and setting!
 
This will be beautiful when done. :appl:
 
Love the setting you've chosen and it'll really highlight the lovely sapphire. Can't wait to see this one done!
 
What a pretty setting. I really love the details on that. I think it's going to look great with your sapphire. :love:
 
Beautiful stone and setting and eager to see it all done! :)
 
It's going to look fabulous in that Stuller setting. Can't believe Stuller has some nice looking setting these days too!
 
Thank you marymm, Acinom, dk168, LisaRN, rockinruby, ecf8503, lovesvintage, LD, elle, ilovegemstones and Chrono!!

I am happy with my setting choice and am waiting for it to arrive....somewhat patiently. =)
