Could you show us a few pics of what colors you are thinking? Peach/pink/lavender/champagne is a fairly wide range, so some examples of colors you find appealing would help a great deal. Also, do you want a setting as well, or do you already have that?
ETA: what are you feelings on heat treatment? I don't personally find it problematic, but I know some people prefer stones that are not treated in any way, and those are usually pricier. Just checking on your preferences.

A 9x7 sapphire would be at least 3cts
your photos are showing some really clean stones, although with Windows. Do you care about window?

Good luck with your search!![]()

VeraMae said:Taking a break from my own maddening stone search, I've checked out a few vendors so far and none seem to come close. Closest I've found to your requirements were at James Allen. I don't know much about that store or their quality, i just remembered the name from when i was looking at settings and noticed they had pinks. If you're still wanting a stone, you may want to lower your size requirements just a tad? I did see one around 8.2mm X 6.4mm for 700! Not sure if you're still looking or not, but i'll keep looking around a bit... If i go back to thinking about my own project anytime soon, i just might lose my mind.
