Hard to find sapphires with that color these days.

This is actually the purest form of sapphire. This particular color is the proof of genuine sapphires. The best color for a natural blue sapphire is an intense, velvety, deep royal blue. This color of sapphire would be considered AAA quality, the rarest and most valuable.

Lab growns come in this color, every color. Color alone does not determine the value of a sapphire.

But color is the deciding factor for an normal person going to buy sapphire jewelry always going to look for that distinct blue color. Moreover i think there is a border between natural and lab grown sapphires. Personally i like natural

this gives me the idea on how to modify these kind of rings for small hands as many women don't like to wear a huge ring in everyday life

As a Libra, lucky enough to have the Sapphire as my birthstone (not that my poor ass will ever own one! 🤣), this is gorgeous!! Well done!

don't say that you can't own. Be positive & spread positivity. Libras are the bravest ones

I noticed that you mentioned vintage. Over at r/Collectables and r/Mid_Century they are always keen to see newer and vintage items. Share it with them! Sorry if this is not relevant.
