Help! I’m Lost in a Sea of Sapphires and I Need the Perfect One to Propose

[Dragonroar]

Hey everyone! I’m planning to propose in the next couple of months, and I’ve been searching for a green sapphire that resembles an emerald color, something truly special for my partner.
I’m looking for:

Natural & untreated (if possible)

Square, rounded, or emerald cut

Around 1.00 – 3.00 carats (ideally ~2.00 carats)

Budget: under $3,000 (can stretch to under $5K for something really unique)

I’ve been researching for about a month, and it’s honestly overwhelming. I’ve looked at sites like The Natural Sapphire Company, GemsNY, and JupiterGem, but I’m not sure which sources are legit or trustworthy. I’ve seen mixed reviews, especially about The Natural Sapphire Company,so I’m hoping to get some insight from others who’ve gone through this.

Here are a few stones I’ve been considering:

1. Jupiter Gem – 1.71 ct teal-blue/green sapphire: https://jupitergem.com/natural-teal-blue-green-sapphire-1-71-carats-1

2. GemsNY – 2.12 ct emerald-cut sapphire: https://www.gemsny.com/sapphires/2....BEC/?sku=95113&type=ring&prong=&selectedBand=

3. The Natural Sapphire Company – 2.59 ct round green sapphire: https://www.thenaturalsapphirecompa...anka-round-green-sapphire-s17025-/#AssetData7


If anyone has experience with these companies or knows of other trusted sources, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. This is a big moment, and I want it to be perfect.

Thanks in advance!
