    Ok...you asked. I make mostly one of a kind, or some of a kind
    pieces. I do prefer the natural sapphires, and the natural color.
    But that's just me. I use the treated stones as well, only in very
    small sizes,as accents, as I find that most of the larger treated
    stones of any kind, often look like fake colors as many of them seem
    so harshly bright, some bordering on garish. I mostly prefer muted
    colors in faceted stones. Funny I suppose, because my son says that
    my work with cabs," looks like candy." 

    Two cents given.

    picture window. We call it "Bird TV") Topanga, CA USA
