Help finding the right ring

[Brian64]

We want a Lab created blue Sapphire, surrounded (HALO?) by lab diamonds ... in a 14k gold. Other than some company from India ... who claims to have what we want .... I can't seem to find this combo. I found a "Princess Diana" replica at MoissaniteCo ... but worry about the Moissanite issue with the film/oxidation issue. The ring is beautiful... but well, anyway I'd like the stone to be at least 7mm.... 8 would be better (center stone).

I'm ready to buy this ring ... more than ready ... <so I can get back to other things in life> .... I've spent weeks now researching lab Sapphs ... diamonds ... Moisannite .... etc.

Help on this would be greatly appreciated. <btw, someone from Weddingbee rec'd you folks to me ... gratitude to her>

Hi, I’m not sure what you mean by “film / oxidation” issue with Moissanite. Moissanite is a stable gemstone, I’ve had one over 5 years with absolutely no issues. It is only the coloured Moissanite ie pale pink, pale green etc that has had a colour coating treatment that might, with improper care or time, deteriorate. Moissanite btw aren’t lab created diamonds, they are a separate material, with diamond like properties. The lab created sapphires are the same chemical composition as natural sapphires, except man made.
You could buy a lab created sapphire separately, of the size you want, and also buy loose Moissanite for the halo and have a ring made. This will be more expensive but will give you exactly what you want.
You can buy Lab created diamonds and they are real diamonds, but man made, but aren’t that much cheaper than their natural counterparts.
