Looking for a blue sapphire? Start here ..........

[LD]

Over the past few weeks there have been loads of threads all started by people looking for a blue sapphire. It's great to see people converting to coloured stones! However, the same vendors are mentioned and the same questions are asked. So to save you time and perhaps answer your questions please have a read of these threads. You'll pick up some invaluable tips and be able to follow how a search has panned out. There are some good reviews of photos/vendors and it may help you make a decision as to who you want to work with! You'll also be able (in some cases) to compare vendor photos with the poster's photo which will help you evaluate when searching for your stone.

Happy reading!

I am bumping this and I have asked the mods to sticky.

Please see the thread at the top of the forum for newcomers to colored stones, also written by LD.

I am adding a link to the Pala's guide for how to evaluate colored gemstones:
