Vendor help

Hi. Looking to get a vivid blue sapphire for a ring made for my MIL's 90th b-day. Has anyone has good experiences with a particular colored stone vendor? Anyone purchased from The Natural Sapphire Co?

I'd recommend Gemfix (Andrew Gulij) at www.gemfix.com and Finewater Gems (Gary Braun) at www.finewatergems.com. Good luck!

Thank you. Its a BIG birthday. When I am 90 I had better have a box full of jewels!

I am drooling over Gemfix sapphires. How do you pick ONE?

I went through many of these and some are so old that the links don't work; one of them was so sad because it described that the person who had the website was murdered! Many of the Etsy and Ebay shops are "closed" as well. Just an FYI.

Hello @Mreader
Do you recall which ones some of those might be? I have not kept up with the list but only maintain it when I'm informed to add/remove vendors by PS consensus.

I would try Jeff White for a custom-cut stone as he has a vast inventory of roughs and may have something that would suit your colour preference and budget.

For a lab stone if it has not been ruled out, try Gary at Finewater Gems as I believe he still has roughs available.
