I have a problem, my customer picked out the peach colored sapphire
pictured in the Stuller catalog. I need two 3mm round stones. (side
stones for a wee wedding ring) When I tried to order it on-line it
didn’t come up so I called and was told that it is out of stock and
they have no idea when they will get in more.
I’ve done a search on the web and have not found any of that color -
I need more of a light peach rather than the orange padparadische
sapphire.
Does anyone know where I could get some - or have a favorite
supplier I could contact? I would be most grateful.
Jan-- Try Kevin Patterson, K.P. Gems, 800 565-7436. He’s in Hayward,
CA., PO box 4291, raeannI@hotmail.com. Great guy, may have or can
find for you. Another possible would be Tom Schneider Gems, San
Diego, 619 232-2624, tmsgems@msn.com
You may have to romance the stone a little, so that the customer
will accept what’s available. Don’t forget that even great photos are
rarely true.
My thanks to everyone for all the recommendations for finding peach
sapphires. I ended up getting them from Crescent Gems. Ahmed was
very accommodating, he even cut them special for me - they came in
the mail today and they are beautiful, exactly what I was looking
for. The price was right and the service out of this world. Thanks
again and a huge thanks to Mr. Ahmed.
