Stag and Finch have some new sapphire rough choices!

[MeowMeow]

I hope it's okay for me to post this. Let me know if I am wrong please!
But they posted today that they have some new type of blue lab sapphire rough available. It's the same colors but different rough. I noticed it does cost more but it looks super pretty! It's going to be awhile before I do my pendant project and I might try it out at that time. But if anybody out there decides to give it a try i would love to know what you think of it!

I have been hoping people here might buy from them so I can see more pics. I am keen to get "real life" pics of their different blue sapphires

I can't remember how many specifically bought blue sapphires but I know several of us have bought from them in the coloured stone thread in this fashion jewellery section but you may have already looked through that whole thing already. I really like the regular flame fusion but with the price increase on the pulled and just generally not being ready for any kind of purchase again for a few more years I can't test the pulled yet xD

their prices went up

Yup they did. I was a little sad to see that when I had posted this but I'll probably pay whatever they want once I am ready for the pendant project because I already know they do good work. I told my husband to get his wallet ready though for our 7th because of the price raise lmao.

Prices for good commercial quality and higher qualities of material have been going up a LOT, sapphire is probably 15-25% more expensive since March depending on the material.
