Worth it?

[forensics1]

I found this sapphire and I think its gorgeous! I am in love with the color and think in a beautiful delicate diamond setting, it could really do that knock-out some justice. The only question I have is.....is the stone worth it?

The specs are:
Type: Ceylon Sapphire
Shape/Cut: Rectangle/ Cushion
Dimension (mm): 7.3 x 6.8 x 4.3
Weight: 2.11ct
Clarity: Loupe clean
Luster: Excellent
Heat enhanced (although I wish it wasn't)

FYI - They are asking a little under $200. for the stone.....

I''m sorry, I forgot a picture.

Thank you for your opinions.

Do you have any other pics? Where are you buying it from?

ETA: Do you have any pics on white. I'm thinking that it's going to be a different color when it's away from that gray background...

I like the color.

But I am a little put off by the cut. There seems to be a big window in your stone. Can someone correct me if I am wrong? I am still learning. Therefore, please wait for other people''s comments.

Here is another. I have a few others as well.....

Link?

I'm not as concerned about the potential for a window so much as the fact that the culet is off to one corner. Plus, it's got a fat pavilion and looks like it's cut shallow. And it concerns me that none of the pics are taken straight on-even the one of the bottom of it. I'm betting that's because the cut is totally off.

I personally don't think it's worth it. And I'd want to see the stone on white, not gray.

and the backside...

Thanks for your responses. I have always LOVE sapphires. I found this one on ebay and the person selling the gem only has the pictures on the gray background.....

I love sapphires too. And it looks like a pretty color. Can you ask them to take another pic on a different surface?

 

[forensics1]

I did email them, I guess we will wait to see what they say, but I now see the cut issues you were speaking of. I don''t think I''m down with that either. Thanks again for your opinions! I''m on the hunt for an excellent cut same color sapphire.

You want a light blue cushion? If I see anything, I''ll let you know!

 

[forensics1]

Yes, I do. Thank you. I would prefer over 2ct - maybe 2.3 - 2.8 or so.

Thanks again!! have a great evening..
