My fiancee proposed to me with a sapphire ring I just was not 100% content with because it did not have the halo setting I wanted. I contacted Caitlyn and she allowed me to return the custom made ring and exchange it for the ring of my dreams. Caitlyn worked with me through all the steps, from finding the perfect gemstone to deciding the setting. She was patient, professional and informative. She also gave me a 15% discount! What other jewelery store do you know of that will honor that upon asking? I love the natural sapphire company and will never go to another vendor to purchase sapphire jewelery. Very happy!!

I have used this company twice (soon to be 3 times) in the past year and only have great things to say about them. I'm based in Hong Kong so buying Jewellery over the internet can be troublesome, but the amount of personal attention I received from them (Livia namely) was fantastic. Their returns policy is excellent and very flexible, as long as you express any concerns upfront with them then they will happily take you through the policy in detail.(unfortunately I had to return the 2nd item but Liva has been very accommodating and patient in regards to me choosing another item, been over 4 weeks!) Both Sapphires I received were absolutely beautiful stones, and come with a full 3d report and scan. Anyway, great company, can't recommend them enough based on my experiences.

When my fiancé and I were looking at engagement rings, I told him I wanted two things in particular. A white Sapphire (which is my Birthstone) and an antique setting in white gold. After doing many hours of research on wedding boards he stumbled upon The Natural Sapphire company. We looked through their incredible selection and found many lovely settings and the absolute perfect gem. So we asked Livia, the lady who handled the internet orders if she could possibly make a mock up of a ring and a setting for us that I chose. This was during Valentine's week so we knew they were probably incredibly busy, but she had responded within 24 hours. Once I saw that setting with the gem I realized it wasn't too my liking. So my fiancé asked her opinion on settings and not only was she prompt about it, she provided him with many options because she herself is incredibly familiar with their products. Livia once again provided a mock up of the second setting we picked and the ring looked wonderful so we ordered it. Livia was very kind and patient during this time and very helpful in assisting us with my ring. She treated him so wonderful, she obviously takes pride in her work. When he proposed and I got my ring, I burst into tears like most of us do, crying over the symbolic meaning but also how absolutely stunning it is. I look at it at least once an hour, even weeks later because it's the most beautiful piece of jewelry I've ever had. The setting has tiny flowers, leaves and vines around the top which is very delicate looking but also extremely detailed and well crafted. My white sapphire stone is absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this company to ANYONE looking for jewelry, their customer service is fantastic and Livia is amazing, she made this a wonderful experience! I have told many people about their company and I myself will be a reoccurring customer. Thank you Livia for making our special occasion unforgettable!

It's been 8 months since we got engaged in a horse drawn carriage on a frigid night in December 2011 in Central Park, NY. Denise is enchanted with her ring and absolutely loves it. The ring is made from platinum and contains small diamonds around the stone and on the sides of the band. The Unique Sapphire is peach in color, and it appears peach in some light, rose pink in other light, and it sparkles and reflects light in utterly amazing ways. The design and construction of the metal work under the stone is intricate and of the highest quality. Not only are we happy with the ring, but Livia provided very speedy turnaround times for information and ring construction. She helped us sort through the data and come up with a ring and antique style that suited us perfectly. She is a joy to work with and an amazing person. She is courteous, respectful, and kind. With us living just outside New York City and my working in the City, we got to visit in person more than once and see the Natural Sapphire Company in a way that most customers cannot due to distance and much of their business being mail order through the Internet. At first I was wary of going the Internet route, but I can say honestly that this company really knows how to put quality jewelry together. After all, they are smack in the middle of the New York City diamond district. I provide this information to assuage any fears that others might have in dealing with a company in a long distance way. While we got to do the business end "in person", fear not, this is a real company and they are first rate professionals. Their return and exchange policy is amazing and the effort expended to go the extra mile to make sure that we were and are happy with this lifelong investment was top notch, bar none. You will not get this kind of treatment from 99.9% of mail order, or any of the other, companies out there. http://www.thenaturalsapphirecompany.com

After some online research, I decided I'd try going through the NSC and custom design a ring with a sapphire center stone. I searched through their sapphire inventory (which is larger than any other I could find) until I found a round mixed brilliant cut light greenish blue sapphire from Montana. I sent in an inquiry form and in a few hours Livia emailed me back with loads of information about the sapphire and the custom design process. I liked that the NSC's sapphires were completely untreated and unheated, making them incredibly rare and valuable. I asked to preview the stone, and Livia immediately sent it through 2-day Fed Ex after putting a hold for the value of the stone on my bank account. It was incredibly helpful to be able to see the stone in person before deciding to have it set. After that initial contact, Livia remained consistently helpful, kind, and flexible throughout the design process. Over the course of an entire month she emailed me back several times every day answering all of my questions with incredible detail. I wasn't sure about my setting, so in the beginning of the process her correspondence consisted of many graphic renderings of the stone I had selected in several different settings on their website. She was always happy to make any changes I requested to the designs. Finally, I sent in a photo of a setting I'd seen elsewhere and asked for a couple design changes. Livia got back to me the next day with a rendering of my custom design. I loved it, so I paid for the ring and waited patiently. In only 2.5 weeks, my ring arrived! It was even more stunning in person and it fit perfectly. The price was also a great value for the quality of workmanship. It appraised at several hundred dollars more than I paid. My ring has received many compliments and I love that it's so unique. I am planning on purchasing our wedding bands through the NSC and would recommend them to anyone!

While working with a local jeweler, I found a setting that I loved and they said they would be able to find a peach sapphire. Three days later, the stone came in and it was the color of Mountain Dew! After this, I decided to start looking online. I came across The Natural Sapphire Company and found the perfect stone. At the time I found it, it was on sale after a battle with the local jeweler, I ordered the stone through the NSC. Caitlyn gave me her extension and I called her as soon as I ordered it. The stone was sent out that day and came on time. It looks amazing in person. It came packaged very well and the presentation was great. I had the stone set and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to propose. We were planning on going home to Arizona in three weeks and I was going to talk to her dad then. The week before we left, I was getting antsy and tired of holding onto the ring so I decided to call her dad. He gave me his blessing so I kept looking for a good opportunity to ask her. It was the week before we left so she was working 40 hours in 4 days and moving out of her apartment in the middle of everything. I asked her to go on a date with me and she said that she was too busy and that we could clean together for our date. She was working a 12-hour shift the next day so I told her that I would pick her up for a lunch date. I picked up food and brought the ring and a blanket and we went on a picnic at a park up in a canyon near our house. She was not expecting it at all so it was fun to see her reaction. It was great to propose outside during the day because it made the stone look even better! Working with The Natural Sapphire Company was such a nice and painless process and I would recommend them to anyone that wants a good deal on a great product! I was hesitant about buying something like this over the internet but everything felt so secure and safe. If you would like pictures of the ring, email me. BrettRSteele@gmail.com

We purchased my engagement ring at the Natural Sapphire Company on line. Their customer service was amazing, they were highly professional and personable. We also visited their enchanting New York location for a wedding ring fitting and it was a great experience. I look forward to purchasing our wedding rings and in the future, our anniversary jewelry for years to come at the Natural Sapphire Company.

My fiancee, soon to be wife, was looking for something that would stand out from the parade of "boring, unoriginal diamond engagement rings". We settled on a sapphire stone, and she left the details to me. After being disappointed with the poor quality of sapphires and setting available locally (Ottawa, Canada), I found the natural sapphire company online. For my very first inquiry with them, i was absolutely stunned by not just the quality of service, but the speed. Never did a single e-mail I sent go unanswered for more than a few hours. They helped me custom design a ring and set a custom selected stone for me. Their service was so exemplary, I went back to them when my fiancee insisted on a matching wedding band. Again, they custom designed a matching band for me, generating 3D models of my suggestions, and had everything settled in only 2 days. Livia, who I dealt with, should be an example to everyone in the jewelry industry.

Livia at the Natural Sapphire Company was wonderful to work with! My husband designed my engagement ring with her and we ordered custom wedding bands as well. Her service is excellent and fast - our rings were ready in a few weeks and were exactly what we wanted.

This company is the best in the world. My husband had a custom rare padparadscha engagement ring designed for me, with the matching wedding band. Livia is amazing to work with and when I needed my ring re-sized I was able to send it back quickly and with peace of mind and it was returned to me in perfect condition. I could not imagine my rings coming from anywhere else.

This review is actually about an anniversary ring my husband gave to me to commemorate both the first year birth of our daughter and as well our 6th year of marriage. I am posting here as I thought some of you ladies may be able to use this information to assist with your wedding ring plans and to sing the praises of one of the best companies my husband and I have had the pleasure of dealing with. The Nature Sapphire Company in New York was extremely easy to work with. We first heard about them through a friend and given that we trusted our source we thought we'd give them a try. I was primarily interested in an untreated sapphire for a piece of custom made jewelry to match the engagement ring given to Kate Middleton (my own princess ring!), I found a lot of good impressions on the market, but I wanted to make my own with my own spin to commemorate our special day. Enter the Natural Sapphire Company. Livia (or rep) could not have been more accommodating. She worked with us to choose the perfect natural sapphire and sent us exceptional 3d mock ups of several ring designs to help us choose the perfect setting. I can't speak highly enough about this great company. So much so in fact we will be designing a necklace and earrings to match in the weeks to come. The sapphire is 2.89ct and is surrounded by D color VVS2 excellent cut diamonds, in a platinum setting. The ring took a couple of weeks to create and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is nothing short of exceptional. I am not sure if links to photos are allowed here, but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words! http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5786/dsc03943r.jpg I hope this has helped anyone looking for wedding ring jeweller. Good luck on the weddings ladies! I wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness!

If you are looking for exquisite natural sapphires, beautiful custom settings, and excellent customer service, look no further than The Natural Sapphire Company. When my husband and I wanted to mark our 10th wedding anniversary, we started looking around for a ring. We thankfully stumbled upon The Natural Sapphire Company online and would highly recommend them to anyone without reservation. Livia Brode worked tirelessly to guide us in crafting a ring that was exactly perfect for me. The sapphire is exquisite and the setting is beautiful as well. Everyone I meet comments on how beautiful it is. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a ring, either newly engaged or having been together a lifetime. After having had such an excellent experience, I will be a customer for life!
