Need help in choosing blue sapphire

Hi there! It’s me. I just wanted to clarify that I’m not a vendor and I don’t have any kind of business related to gems or jewellery. I’m just a private collector.

Oh no my apologies, I mistakenly thought you were a vendor!:eek2: I'm very sorry...

Really love your collection BTW, they're one of the best I've seen so far.
Hope to purchase one of your gems soon! :)
 
I like that violet one, fwiw. Leaves you open to get a blue one in the future too!
 
UPDATE

Hi all!
I decided to get the violet sapphire from @Dr_Diesel , since it's one of the best violets I've seen and I've also heard that he's having a hard time lately:(2

It's sad to hear he's selling all of his loose stones but I hope it helps him in hard times. If anyone's interested, go take a look on LT!

My sapphire will be on hold till late May, and I'll update the thread once I receive it! Very excited hehe:D

I was just coming by to cast my vote for that fabulous purple sapphire! Congrats, and I can't wait to hear all about it once received!!

Thank you so much!! I'm glad I chose this one.
I'm already thinking about how I should set it, maybe a floral design? I'll definitely be going with platinum or white gold though:lol:
Once it arrives I'll share pics with my recently set deep blue star sapphire!

Oh please do! I am biased towards floral halos, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask.

I think you made the right choice. It is a great looking stone.
 
Sometimes you have to take the chance when opportunity presents itself because it may not ever come again. I myself got a little something, too. On one hand, it's good to see gems stay within PS where they'll be cherished. On the other, I feel a little bit like a vulture.

I can understand that completely. Emotions are complicated and they definitely attach to our stones and jewelry, maybe even more than usual. Let's hope DD is mostly glad when things sell and that nothing of massively sentimental value went up for sale.
Do tell us what you picked to rehome with you!

Awww, then you're not the only vulture here!
Nuh-uh. Not before it arrives and I have it safely in my hands. I'm superstitious like an old granny.

You're making us too curious. Plz share once it arrives! I'm assuming yours will arrive faster than mine haha
 
It's already on the way, that much I can say. As to the rest, I can assure you my anticipation is even more torturous than your curiosity. I am facing days of frantic refreshing of the tracking page.

Do you mind sharing what vendor had the blue ones?

Sure! Except I'm not sure what blue stone you're talking about, could you specify? All of them are from different vendors lol

Hey!

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't checked PS for a while.
The first stone is from a Chinese vendor. They're selling on a shopping platform called taobao. Here is the link to the listing.
The second on is from a Sri Lankan vendor called akeel gems on IG. You can get in touch with them via WhatsApp or DM.

Hope this helped!

**UPDATE**

My violet sapphire from @Dr_Diesel arrived!

First of all, I loooove its color so much. It really is a true violet with a beautiful and intense color. It reminds me of pansies or violets. The color shifts from a deep purple to blue in some lighting conditions.
I'm still having a hard time believing that it's mine!:lol:

The also nicely cut, with a high crown and small table which I adore. I hate stones that are flat to the touch:roll:

I find it very difficult to capture its true color, but its a nice bluish purple (not pinkish) IRL. I've already thought of how its gonna be set and the side diamonds are coming tomorrow:dance:

Once again, a big thanks to @Dr_Diesel for allowing me to be its new owner!

I've also added a comparison with the other stones I have, an aquamarine and a lighter lavender purple sapphire. You can really see how deep and intense the stone is!

Ugh so great. I love how rich the color is!

How will you set it?
 
At this point @Dr_Diesel should don a Santa Claus hat, take a selfie and use it as his avatar. :lol:

AGREED! Making PSers happy isn't some easy deal :lol:
Love the blue sapphire you got BTW, it's an amazing blue!
 
I'm planning on to surround it with fancy cut lab diamonds!
Thought of doing a classic halo design but I wanted something new and flower inspired in my collection:lol:
Here's my sketch and the gems stuck on a sticky box. Untitled18_20250517170100.PNGScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 8.53.03 PM.pngScreenshot 2025-05-23 at 8.53.12 PM.png

This!!!! Sublime!!!!!

I love that it’s distinctly violet and doesn’t look like an amethyst! No shade to amethyst but I want a violet sapphire to look like a sapphire, not an amethyst!

Aww TY!! I handsketched it with the help of diamond database and lucky for me it worked out pretty well (IDK how to use CAD)

Yeah I'm also glad it doesn't look like an amethyst either, especially when the price difference is huge!
It has that glow of a sapphire you can't find in quartz, but I should go ask my muggle friends to see for sure:lol:

I love this in more ways than I can say! It actually reminds me of this design which was posted as someone else's inspo and I instantly saved it,

only so much richer and dynamic. Your design is an absolute must. You have to do it. There is no other option.
