Hi all,
I've finally decided to propose to my girlfriend during our holiday in France next month. I know she would prefer a pale blue sapphire with a simple platinum setting. She has said she is not that bothered about the quality as long as it's pretty, but I'd rather not buy anything that is poor quality. I've got a budget of around £1500 (I'm in the UK) but will go higher. I stumbled upon PS this weekend and found some really helpful guidance. I still feel a little overwhelmed however and I'm hopeing someone can help!
So far I've found limited choice at high street and UK online vendors. I've found very nice rings on via Etsy particularly from MS Jewellers such as;

I've found a reasonably priced gem with G.F Jewellers,
http://www.gfwilliams.com/popup.php?stone=Sapphire&stockcode=1171091&vat=yes
The pictures aren't great and there isn't a huge amount of detail. I've enquire about it but yet to here from them. Can anyone give me advice on the quality of the cut and the gem?
Does anyone know of any good UK vendors for sapphires? And/or any good vendors that will mount a separately bought gem?
Thank you!
Richard
