It’s my first time on the CS forum with my very first purchase! This week I got a few Montana sapphires from Gemfix and decided on this little blue one - 5.7mm, 0.87ct. I love the blue-green-gray of Montana sapphires and had actually hoped for a little more green or shiftiness, but the cut of this stone won me over. In most light I’d call it a medium denim blue, but it goes a little teal in artificial light which I love. I was tempted by the smaller lighter aqua stone but the cut didn’t compare. Gemfix was great to work with and I got my stones within a couple days. They really had some beautiful options and the price was reasonable
My plan is to set it in a three stone bezel RHR with two OEC sides. I love that the cut has some chunkier facets and isn’t a standard RB style because I think it will look nice with OECs. My earrings in the last pic are 4.6mm and almost exactly the size the side stones will be (the classic 1:2:1 ratio). Enjoy my meh iPhone pictures. I borrowed a macro lens for my good camera but can’t figure out how to use it haha. I included the vendor photo because I know how useful it is to compare.
