Pink sapphire dreams... and questions!

[pinkdreamer]

Hi Everyone! I''ve been lurking around for awhile now, and finally just decided to just ask my questions.
First, I''ve been drooling over the pink sapphires from NSC, and hope to have a 2.5(ish)ct. pink set into this setting. Does anyone have a "real" picture of this setting in a finished ring? Mounting

Also, while looking at the sapphires, I''ve noticed that many that are listed as having insignificant incluions, they appear to have bubbles in them. Is this a trick of the camera or are these really there? Here is a link to the stone that will hopefully show what I''m talking about.

I''m new to buying gemstones, but my heart is set on something pink!

If I were you, I would call Steve Bliss at NSC and ask him about the stone directly. I have heard that he is an honest and good man, so I am sure that he would be happy to help.

You can also "purchase" the stone and have it sent to you for your inspection, then return it either for a different stone, your money, or to be set. That's a good way to make sure YOU love it before you purchase it.

I know someone recently had a ring just like this from NSC. Let me see if I can find it for you.

Not exactly the same thing, but close. From NSC:

Another similar look with a pad sapphire:

Yep, that is mine that I am sending back. Has a small window in the stone. Purchased it from The Natural Sapphire Company

I don''t know if this is the same setting exactly, but this ring is a pre-made from NSC:

I would look at the pictures as a reference for clarity as NSC might be a little soft. I think starryeyed (?) ordered a large blue-green sapphire that was labeled VVS on the website and the inclusions were eye-visible when he received it.

Thanks everyone! Did you find those other pictures on the NSC site? They are so pretty!!

I found them, nevermind! I emailed NSC, but haven''t gotten a response so far. Hopefully I will hear something soon!
