its a steal if unheated....and even if heated, i''d buy it. you''re right: for the price not worth getting a cert. and i''d trust this vendor. either way its a win-win.

Is it just me, or has there not been any new gems on his site recently? or have I missed something?

I *love* it, and I think it should be yours (if not mine

). The center stone for your Hunter ring, perhaps?

I agree; it has been a while! Maybe he is busy with custom orders.

I just got an email response from him, he''s currently on vacation :) He said that new stones will be up around end of April though!

That''s what I am thinking! Blue for my little boy.

Buuttt I am still pondering. Gary said to take my time since he is on vacation. I have a budget that I can spend now on *something* to commemorate both Hunter''s birth AND getting my dream job, but I have a bunch of things I want to do and I just can''t choose!

Hey, if you don''t want it, I''ll take it and pop out a boy so I have reason to have it!

I really like it DD. I''ve always loved NF''s sapphire and am drawn to those lighter colors as well. Plus ovals have a way of really leaning out those post preggo bloated fingers, hehehehe.


As for the cert - didn''t someone mention here once that AGL or some other lab has cheaper "ID cards" that can just check for heat treatment or not? I remember reading it was $25 or so. Maybe I''m on drugs.

hahaa... imagine if a 1ct sapphire was all it took to motivate you to go through ALL THE WORK of making a human... hilarious!

I''m not concerned about the heating issue. I didn''t choose it because it was unheated, and since mz and others have commented that the price would be good even if it were heated, then I am a-okay. Heck, the price is probably good even if it were synthetic! LOL! DH originally got my a sapphire for an e-ring, and it cost about the same as this stone, and this stone is at least one billion times more beautiful! Anyhoo, all of that is to say that I am probably not going to cert it!

If I get it... we have the $$ but there are more sensible things is *could* be spent on KWIM?? But isn''t that always the case? DH thinks I should get it, he says I deserve it after getting a tenure-track job and having a baby all in the same week

I take it you are still undecided on the sapphire?

I was thinking about that, but would it look good with a stone this size? The half moons would be very small...

WOHOO! Congrats on a lovely stone.

I like half moons with ovals but they might end up too small. Well, the setting also depends on the budget. How healthy is it?
