***ADDITIONAL INFO***

Most color-zoned blue sapphires either look off-blue, have a greenish undertone, show greyish overtones, or are flat-out too dark.

It’s not by any means common to find an actually well saturated, overtone-free blue hue with clearly distinct zones of no color. This is partially because it’s discouraged by the trade – cutting will always as a rule strive to give a stone the clearest and most even blue hue possible and any zoning will be minimized as a result of that effort.

This stone actually shows a very nice bright blue hue and the colorless zones are clearly distinct from the blue ones so the overall effect looks quirky and unusual, but very pleasant.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
