Dan''s new sapphire

[karee888]

Pretty

Hmm, a little dark for me.

I''m more curious to see if anyone here got the danburite?

 

[karee888]

And I bet the "currently cutting" pink tourmaline is going to be gorgeous!!

Too dark and grey. I''m suffering from an over-abundance of honesty on these boards today - sorry.

 

[karee888]

I still think it is pretty.

Too dark, too gray and might show some green around the edges.

 

[CharmyPoo]

Too dark and grey for me too. I bet it is even darker in real life.

 

[T L]

To be fair, I think this is an interesting stone, and I''m surprised it wasn''t scooped up yet. It certainly caught my eye way before the sapphire.

Perhaps the elongated shape spells custom setting to prospective buyers?

True, and that''s also why the hot pink fancy trilliant probably didn''t sell yet.

I considered both and you two hit the nail on the head in my case. I can''t justify spending money on a custom job or buying a stone that could be sitting for quite a while.

Yeah and with gold prices as high as they have been settings are something that I''ll have to buy later. And custom really ups the price. Oh well.
