Hey Everyone,
Ive been reading through your wonderful forum in order to get some insight into how to purchase a good stone. I was referred by someone at Redflagforums, and have learned a lot. I am a complete newbie, do not have any experience, all of my experience is by reading your forums and other sites on the net.
My girlfriend does not want a diamond ring, she is superstitious and believes it brings her bad luck. Thats a whole other story, so lets not focus on that. Well, she really loves pink sapphire, and would like to get a pink sapphire ring instead. So i have been looking around sites, such as http://www.thenaturalsapphirecompany.com/, but i would love to get a ring locally, here in Toronto, Canada. I want a pretty clear right, and i am looking for something around 2-3k and she likes an emerald cut. I have something to go by, she actually adored this ring and would love to get an exact replica. http://www.topazery.com/antique-jewelry-item-rg1665.htm I would like to get something better than VVS2, and the sidestones are diamond, so she would want something else, maybe Cubic zirconia or a white sapphire?!? As you can tell, i do not know much.
I would just like some help on what i can do, should i purchase the stone separate? I would love to get advice from anyone around the Toronto area who knows where I can go to find a good sapphire.
Thanks a lot everyone!
