***ADDITIONAL INFO***

A very, very, very rare color for a heat-only sapphire.

When we bought it, we weren't certain whether the window that it had could be closed in recutting while keeping it above 1 carat because of its lack of depth/height. Fortunately, the window is now completely removed and the stone looks drop dead gorgeous.

It's one of those 'from the other end of the room' stones - spessartine garnets pale in saturation next to it and that's not just a figure of speech, we actually compared.

It has a few tiny feathers near the girdle (visible in the photos) but they aren't eye visible at all, in any sort of ambient light even on very close inspection.

The calibrated 7 x 5 mm size should fit most standard settings pretty easily.

It's insanely saturated, rare, well cut and eye clean - nothing much to say beyond that.

***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.
