Gemstone E-Stores

[crescentmotor]

I have been reading the diamond forums for quite a while researching diamonds for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I have decided to solicit her input on the diamond setting, etc. (after the proposal) and am now interested in buying a placeholder, if you will, in the form of a sapphire (probably blue) right-hand ring, bracelet, or pendant. I am well familiar with the diamond e-stores but they seem to do the gemstones as a sideline with not a lot of selection, etc. Can someone please post the names of some reputable internet sapphire jewelry dealers? Thanks in advance for the input.

What is your budget for this "place holder"?

Feel free to search the ''Colored Gem'' forum - there are lots of such refferences including buyers'' reports about several shops.

Perhaps there should be a ''list'', but to date it has just been expanding informally, thread by thread.

Thanks--quite a list. Hopefully, someone will comment and narrow that list down to a "few" reputable gemstone vendors. I''ll do a search and see if I can weed out some names that keep repeating themselves. That being said, the list you provided will be really great at seeing what''s available and pricing.

You can find a lovely sapphire ring, necklace or bracelet from www.signedpieces.com I bought my eternity band from them and their quality is excellent.

How does this sound?

2 cts, 8 x 6mm blue-violet

And among the matching settings, this would fit the budget just so:

And there's more where this comes from, including ready-made rings:

The blue ring would be 2k, this one (1.1cts yellow) is 1k.
