I’m looking for a 7mm-9mm (if Oval) unheated rich medium blue Sapphire. I want that elusive cornflower blue everyone defines differently. Not sky blue, not too dark, just right, the Goldilocks of Sapphires. I want something with great color, really clean, and well cut. Budget could go to 6-9k for stone but I’d prefer under $4500.
I know that is a huge range but I want a high quality stone and prices seem all over the place. If I’m way off the reservation let me know.
I’m learning the terminology but I still don’t feel like I have the best eye especially given the photos some vendors provide. I’ve been able to eliminate stones but I don’t feel confident enough to go for it on any.
This one is on the small side of what I’m looking for but seems to check a lot of the other boxes.
I’d appreciate your insights! Thanks!
