I went on a whim to replace the sapphire in my engagement ring. Never really loved how dark it was. I purchased one from Gemfix. I’m pretty excited. The bottom is the vendor picture and the others are mine. Thoughts? 926D0F92-4DCE-4E91-9976-B9DCFEB72483.jpeg 71930E86-DDC7-4E11-BDEA-20FA7D416309.jpeg 536F4BC4-DE0E-42D2-9B41-4D21CF70580A.jpeg

It looks gorgeous to my (non expert) eye! And much nicer than your old one. What size is it? Do you like it?

It’s a 2.54 carat. I do like it a lot. Andrew and Laura with Gemfix we’re super helpful....even in the midst of the pandemic and protests. I can’t wait to get it set.

Very pretty! Nice cornflower color -- my favorite and the most versatile in terms of wearing environments, imo.

I hope it has a report -- but that's a reptutable vendor according to others here.

That blue is beautiful. That would be the color of my next sapphire, if I ever get another. I can't wait for you to set her!

I love it! I also purchased a Gemfix oval sapphire to replace a dark stone in a three stone with diamonds on the side. The color and cut of yours is so pretty!

Ooo pretty blue! I feel a bit sorry for your old stone because it is lovely as well, but the brighter blue does "sing" a bit more.

Great find! I hope your jeweller opens soon. The anticipation must be eating you up :razz:

Love the ring. Color is perfect in the setting and the size/proportions to the sides is great.
