I am looking for a blue sapphire like Kate Middleton's that is natural and unheated, but I can't find details on the color of hers. Does anyone have the estimated statistics of her sapphire (e.g., 4Cs, dimensions, brilliance). Is it dark, intense, or vivid blue? The below sapphires are about 10mm x 8mm. Which of these would be more like hers, if either? Where is a good source for finding sapphires like hers? Is the one attached too dark (pic #1)? Perhaps the other (which was taken in daylight/natural light) is too light and possibly too shallow (10mm x 8mm x 3.6mm; pic #2)? A setting might darken the center. My price is limited so some sacrifices to the 4Cs will be needed. I may also consider a sapphire a little lighter than hers so it appears blue in more settings rather than black.
