3.03ct Blue Cushion Cut Sapphire and Diamond Halo Ring
Here is a great deal on a gorgeous blue cushion sapphire. The color is what I would describe as "Ceylon"
Deep blue but very lively.
This stone was heated during the cutting process. This is considered a customary procedure on stones which would not be considered viable otherwise. A stone that possessed this type of color that was not heated might easily bring triple the price per carat.
The Ring
When considering how to create a ring for this gorgeous sapphire, there are plenty of ways to save money. For one thing, we can skip the hand forged ring, along with the intricate claw prong setting. Going with computer-assisted designs setting would save a minimum of $600.
Instead of using super well cut colorless diamonds, we could a few stones that weren't so well cut and have slightly more color. That might save another 500 bucks.
We are interested in none of that. We make the finest product possible.
There are certainly designs that call for the heavier look that can be achieved with computer-assisted design. This is not one of them. The amazing finish inside the wires can never be achieved in a cast ring.
In any event, what we have here is just a gorgeous piece. Something to cherish and wear every day.
The photos above are ACTUAL Photos of the sapphire ring you will receive.
WE LOVE SAPPHIRES THAT SPARKLE
In the photo on the right, you can see what I'm talking about.
The Sapphire on the left is quite a nice one. Believe it or not,
in this particular case, the Sapphire on the left had a higher
price than the stone on the right - which is the stone I chose.
It's making its new owner very happy as you read this.
Sparkle is the type of Sapphires, Rubies, and Emeralds we
carry.
Our stones are all NATURAL - including this awesome
Sapphire.
This one is a great example of the sparkle I love combined
with a deep rich color
Many Natural Sapphires, as we assume is true of this one, are heated during the cutting and finishing process.
Why we sell heated sapphires
When shopping for the gems we offer, we have incredibly high standards. We want to carry only exceptional diamonds, and sapphires. Yet we want to do this in a way that includes the collectors, and connoisseurs, as well as "normal people" who may want to forgo some of the finer points to get more bang for the buck.
When it comes to sapphires, there is a distinction between heated, and non heated stones. If a sapphire can be cut that keeps the color saturation, and brilliance without heating, it will bring a premium over a heated stone. In some cases, a huge premium.
The evidence of heating is fairly simple for labs to detect.
We have purchased sapphires that were claimed to be non heat stones, and sent them to GIA - every time they've come back non heated. We are very choosy in our sources as well.
No matter how comfortable we are with our sources for Sapphires, we will only guarantee a sapphire "non heated" with a GIA report to back it up.
The reason we offer primarily heated sapphires is that heating can be considered a part of the cutting process for most sapphire rough. When done properly, it will produce an even color and reduce the appearance of color striations - color banding.
We can obtain non heated sapphires when needed, usually we'll have a few on the site. However, when I see a stone that has a great appearance and reasonable price that has been heated, I like to offer them.
