Looking for a natural sapphire ring

[AndreaL]

I am brand new to the forum. I am looking for a blue sapphire (untreated) ring. I found The Natural Sapphire Company (TNSC) and then checked out their reviews, which brought me to this website. The reviews seem to be negative. Has anyone had a recent experience with this company? Any recommendations for other online sapphire websites that sell untreated stones?

Thanks

Gemfix has quite a few - definitely worth checking out.

Finewater (Gary Braun) always has lovely sapphires - not sure that all are unheated, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Precision Gem (Gene Flannigan) has two pink sapphires and a yellow/green one - you'd have to ask if they are unheated.

I'd also check out Jeff Davies & Master Cut Gems (Dana).

Also, there's Africa Gems (Marc Sarosi), and you could see if the GemTrader (Brad) has some inventory.

And, I should have also mentioned:

Peter Torraca

Bespoke Gems

Roger Dery of Spectral Gems

Diamonds by Lauren has sapphires

I'm probably missing some folks, but others can chime in

You might want to check the vendor list thread as well.

I don't know if anyone has had a recent transaction, but I believe there is a user by the name of LInda who purchased a lovely padparadscha sapphire from them a few years ago.

This is the only post I could find from LIndaW about NSC. She has not posted for a while, but she is a well respected member of this forum:

Please do a search for NSC. There are quite a negative opinions, but I don't know how many people actually purchased from them and wrote a review.
