Hi everyone! Let me preface this by saying that I don't know much about sapphires and don't own any, so I would love some advice from you all![Smile2 :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So I was randomly browsing PS the other day and saw someone mentioned Adamant gems (https://www.adamantgems.com/sapphire/). They seem to have a good reputation so I went to their website and checked it out. I want some RHRs but wasn't searching for anything in particular. I love blue and green gems and this 2.43ct (8.07 x 6.75 x 5.35) bluish-green sapphire showed up:
They described the color as pine green (intense bluish green of a medium to medium-dark tone) and I absolutely love how it looks in photos on their website. Reminds me of the forests of the Pacific northwest. It's also unheated which is great.
My first concern was that sapphires can be very shifty so it might end up being too dark indoors. I email Ivan and they were super helpful and sent me lots of videos (will add screenshots in a follow-up post).
Another concern of mine is the price at 3.7k (1.5k/ct). It's stretching my budget a bit and I might have to scratch other plans for CS for now (eg. a tiny cobalt spinel) if I pull the trigger. I'm fine with this if I end up with a great stone though.
I would love to hear what you think about this stone and thank you in advance for all your much more experienced opinions!
