Woohoo! This beauty is
"out for delivery"! (My 3 favorite words, lol)
I'm so sad. I think the pad sapphire was damaged in transit. One of the corners has a nick on the underside. It's hard to see without a loupe, but I can feel it with my finger.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful stone. But I'm conflicted whether to keep it.
Indoor, indirect natural light
Outside, in direct (albeit very gloomy) light. It shows more peach undertone IRL.
Now the nick in the corner

Oh no! You should reach out to Gene and bring it up with him. Perhaps he could cut you a new one as an exchange. That way, you still get a pretty pad. The color is gorgeous btw.
OMG, I'm a silly goose, lol.
I emailed Gene, who very kindly asked me to make sure it wasn't glue residue left on the stone.
So I cleaned it with hot water and some Dawn. Yep, it was glue.
Sorry for the false alarm, lol.

It looks like the correct color to me.
Haha nope, the vendor's.Looks pretty close to me. Is that on your hand?
Yay for happy endings! Any ideas on how you’d like to set it?
Something in rose gold, that's as far as I got, lol.
Haha nope, the vendor's.
I also can’t get the image of pac-man out of mu head
It's interesting that the paraiba YAG is listed under Synthetic Spinel. Wonder why? YAG is synthetic garnet.
