***ADDITIONAL INFO***

The most striking thing about this stone is probably its brilliance. This hybrid of Portuguese and brilliant cuts is more commonly seen in the pavilions of tourmalines and zircons due to not being very forgiving vis a vis rough yield but it works very well in this sapphire.

It lights up almost 100% - partially thanks to the cut and partially thanks to microscopic silk - and constantly sparkles as it is turned.

The hue is pleasant - warm and mellow. Looks best outdoors in diffused/indirect daylight.

It comes in the standard 6.5 mm size so it should be pretty easy to set.

***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.
