I currently have a Tacori ring with a 1ct round CZ, and my husband and I have discussed changing the stone to a sapphire instead of a diamond. Does anyone have any experience with this? And, with going through a jeweler to send a stone and ring to Tacori to do the work?
This is the style ring I have: http://store.jrdunn.com/product-p/tc002565mdrd7.5-rosejrd.htm (Though this isn't where I bought my ring)
I spoke with the jeweler where the hubby bought my ring, and they stressed that I would need to find a stone that is exactly 6.5mm diameter with a medium to thin girdle. Can I be off a little in the dimensions (a few hundredths of a mm), or is Tacori really strict about the 6.5mm diameter? Also, they mentioned that changing the stone would have a fee anywhere from $25-$100. Is that reasonable?
I would want a fancy colored sapphire that would compliment the rose gold. I don't think I would go for a deep blue sapphire. I've come across padparadscha sapphires, but I've read online that a true, natural "pad" is really hard to come by.
Any advice would help! Thanks.
