Hi all,

    I have a customer (and friend) looking for a nice sapphire to
    celebrate his and his wife's 25th anniversary. It will be set between
    2 5mm rd brilliant diamonds, so I am thinking at least a 6x8mm oval.
    They would like a darker rather than lighter blue stone. 

    I work in a pawn shop; we see a lot of diamonds, but not many nicer,
    larger colored stones. My usual source for colored stones is Darling
    Imports in Atlanta, but I think I could perhaps get more for my (his)
    $$, as well as patronizing my compatriots, here in Orchidland. 

    Most likely we are looking for something that costs under $1000
    (WS). It certainly does not need to be investment quality, but nice
    color and cut would be a plus. I recently had to set some large oval
    citrines with massive girdles and enormously bulging pavilions and
    don't want to repeat that process!! 

    Please contact me offline as I am often several days late reading my
    list. 

Thanks,
Julia Newton
