PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS FOR PICTURES OF THE STONE FROM GARY DUTTON.
sooo...i went to my local jeweler (who has a great reputation in the community) and he said he could get a white sapphire for me. he''s doing my ering so i felt like i should give him a chance to sell me a stone even though i already bought one from gary dutton. here''s the rundown on the stones.
one from local jeweler:
- 6x6mm princess cut
- completely colorless
- small inclusion under the loop but eye clean
- looks like you can see through an "X" where the princess cut is at the base (is this what they call a window?) - it''s quite prominent but not so much when i had him put it on a setting to see what it''d look like
- looks better in sunlight
- appeared more clear, as in like "gee, that water is really clear", than the other one
one from gary:
- 5.88x5.94 princess cut
- completely colorless
- looks like it has a silverish backtone compared to the other stone; it''s darker somehow but not with color if you know what i mean...
- looks better under inside lighting (at the shop - flourescent?)
- can''t see through it at all in any places
Now, my jeweler told me that his stone was a "true" princess cut. i looked at them both under the loop and his definitely looked better but i''m worried that the part that you can see though is actually bad.
Which stone, by description, do you think is the better stone?? they are both the same price....
thanks soooo much!!!!
