Looking for radiant / scissor cut light blue sapphire

[sapphire123]

Hi all,

I am looking for a radiant cut light blue sapphire similar to the one in the attached picture. I love that it's very light and brilliant with a cool geometric pattern in the cut. Does anyone know where I could find something similar in the 8x6 size range? I saw the stone on Diamonds By Lauren, but it has been sold.

This one is on Jeff Davies' site -- not quite as saturated, a little more gray, but still a nice sapphire. It might look different IRL, worth seeing or asking about it. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115380268539/

Wow this is a great find. I'll definitely follow up with Jeff.

Another option I found was at the Natural Sapphire Company, but it's very expensive (and I don't necessarily care about heat treatment). Also, from the video, it looks like there's something odd happening with the facets along the keel.

Do you guys have any other leads? Thanks for all the help so far!

All the stones posted in this thread have the same "centre-line" effect, only that one is more apparent than the rest in the photographs. They could well be equally noticeable (or not) in person.

I saw two on http://www.atggems.com/ but they're both pretty pricey. One was around $9k and the other $15k, I believe. I'll keep an eye out though!

You have to be careful with elongated scissor cuts because they tend to show extinction on one half of the stone when tilted. You would not see this face on, as these stones are depicted in the above photographs. This may be something that bothers you.

Tough shape! It's not true to all your specs, cut might be a bit funky, but....

Ummm, ladies and gents, this thread is 6 months old and I think the OP has moved on.
