Teal Sapphire

[Daebak]

I am very new to the gemstone community and fell in love with a Montana Sapphire ring. I noticed that jewel designers on Instagram charge thousands of dollars for a ring but seemed to never state the information (clarity, cut, saturation, etc) about the gemstones used besides the measurements. I have been searching for a round teal sapphire w minimal inclusions. I came across this website and wanted to know if the gem reflected the price tag? Thank you

It’s very pretty. Gemfix and Andrew are well regarded by the Pricescope community and I think it’s a fair price for a lovely Montana sapphire.
As it is with jewellery, it’s very expensive to have a custom setting made but at 6mm you would have plenty of choices for a stock setting. I love Ivy & Rose (as do others) for the Art Nouveau/ Vintage vibe and for excellent value. They will also set your gem for a modest fee.

Thank you so much for your response and I will definitely check out Ivy and Rose. I had purchased a ring from an independent jewelry maker and another person saw it and said I paid too much for the type of gemstones they used. I still love the ring but wanted to make sure I was paying a fair price.

The price is quite good for the material and cut. Also please keep in mind that precision cut stones (depending on who the cutter is) can be a bit higher in price.

If I recall correctly gemfix has a very good return policy, but double check that it works for you if the stone is not as you expect. (always a good idea to check return policies of ANY seller)

Yes, I definitely want to pay the cutter a fair price for their work. I have been looking at it everyday and I absolutely love it so I just purchased it. Thank you for your input
