Hi everyone,
My SO and I have been talking about marriage and have decided to get engaged in about a year. We are in the process of looking for an engagement ring for me. I have decided that I would like a sapphire engagement ring, and found Pricescope through the recommendation of one of my friends. I've learned A LOT from all of you and from reading the posts here, so thank you to you all! There is still a lot I don't know, however, especially with buying online, so I'm turning to you all for help.
Here's what I am looking for:
- A round blue sapphire
- 6.5-7mm
- Medium blue that's not too light or too dark (I also don't want purple tones or color-change stones)
- I'm okay with heat treatment, but am hoping for an unheated stone.
I went to the Gemfix store in San Diego in June and looked at Andrew's stones, but I'm no longer living in SD, so we have started looking at stones online. I've found a few that interested me, and would like to hear your opinions.
This will be way too dark indoors right?

And some from Gemfix:

Blue Sapphire Round Brilliant Cut (4th up from the bottom, on the right)
Blue Sapphire "Portuguese" Cut (3rd up from the bottom, on the right) - does this one look like it has a tinge of violet?

Montana Sapphire "Roulette" Cut (3rd up from the bottom, on the right)
I would love to hear your opinions! Thank you!
