I would absolutely recommend the Natural Sapphire Company. Charlotte was fantastic to help craft this custom ring for me. I travelled to pick it up and was so happy with the ring. Honestly it was turned out better than I imagined. I will be back for the next piece!

I have purchased 7 sapphire rings from the Natural Sapphire Company, as well as a zircon ring from its subsidiary, The Natural Gemstone Company, with a total cost exceeding $150,000. I have been absolutely stunned by the quality of its products and the extraordinary range of its collection, which is available nowhere else. I have also been amazed and completely satisfied by its superlative customer service, provided in my case by Katherine Hoyt (a certified Gemologist) and her coworkers.

Every product arrived on time and fully met or exceeded my expectations based on the uniquely extensive information given on their website. I also repeatedly asked for hand-shot videos and stills under various lighting conditions, including videos comparing the 4 stones I was deciding between (a total of 4 for the zircon). I have been a picky, demanding, and fickle customer, exchanging many dozens of emails with Katherine, asking her various questions and drawing from her immense expertise and experience. But despite my formidable pestyness, her responses were unfailingly friendly, prompt, and helpful.

Across all my purchases, I requested exchanges only twice. One was entirely my fault after choosing a stone that was darker than I had hoped. The other exchange was due to a tiny scratch on a gem -- one that many less fussy people would have overlooked. Yet NSC immediately offered me a choice of polishing away the scratch or exchanging the stone at no charge. I was thrilled with the outcomes in both cases.

Finally, I asked for unusual payment arrangements to reserve particularly remarkable stones before I had gathered the necessary funds to pay for them in full. Although I would not expect this accommodation from most other comparable gemstone dealers, they agreed immediately.

NSC offers the craftsmanship, wide selection, and deep expertise that equal or exceed every other company I have used, as well as extremely competent and attentive customer service. It has the products and capabilities of a large company with the personal touch of a small one. It is unique in my gemstone investing experience, and well exceeds even Brilliant Earth, which is also excellent but offers far less selection and lacks the same high level of personal service.

In short, you simply cannot go wrong with The Natural Sapphire/Emerald/Gemstone Company, and I recommend them all without a single reservation.

I had a great time searching for an emerald at The Natural Emerald Company!

I appreciated the detailed photos and information for each emerald. I liked being able to list and compare many emeralds at once. I found the whole process to be relaxing and fun without feeling any pressure. When I had a question, Lauren was a phone call away. She was very informative and helpful throughout the process!

This is a site where you can study, compare, narrow down, agonize and finally choose and emerald (or a completed jewelry item,) at your own pace. I think I spent a couple of weeks in the process. This is something I would NOT have felt comfortable doing in my local jewelry shop. They are certainly very nice, but I would’ve felt like a PEST!

If you decide to place an order with TNEC, I highly recommend reading through their education section. It helped me to narrow down and choose the perfect emerald by identifying all the varied attributes each emerald offered.

Unfortunately, I cannot post a photo because I bought a loose emerald to place into an existing setting for my wife and it has not yet been set. I did once, gently place it into the ring and it looked MARVELOUS!

Charlotte and her team did a incredible job for our emerald engagement ring. They 100% exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the process. I will say I was skeptical at first being that we are located on the opposite side of the US, but the level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process have made us a lifelong customer. Ecstatic would be an understatement, and will gladly refer anyone and everyone to them!

My fiancé and I had our hearts set on a Sapphire and Diamond engagement ring. Lauren at the Natural Sapphire Company was the consummate professional. She carefully listened to our requests and provided the perfect collection of stones for our viewing. The finished ring was way beyond our wildest dreams.

Lauren helped my boyfriend and I select a sapphire stone and diamonds for a custom ring in the NY showroom. The experience from beginning to end was wonderful. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She answered our questions and showed us various combinations of stones. The resulting ring is spectacular in every way. We also purchased a wedding band for my boyfriend, which is quite handsome and customized to match my engagement ring. We easily stayed within our budget. I hope to work with Lauren again!

The Natural Sapphire Company is a top notch company specializing in all colors and shapes of sapphires. The choices are endless, and you can create your own! Photos shown on their website are the actual gemstones, which is exactly what you are getting. The process is seamless from start to finish and the communication is wonderful! Katherine was excellent and I highly recommend her! Thank you for a very pleasant experience. I will be back in the future for my next jewelry project!

If you are looking for a unique experience to create a custom piece of jewelry this is the place to go. You can use your own creation, tailor design from what is available or simply mix and match stones and settings in stock to make a one of a kind piece. Your rep will keep you in the loop every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about my experience.

Tey have done an excellent job. From ordering to customisation, contact with the consultant and delivery. I am highly satisfied and would shop there again at any time.

I could find no other company with as great a selection of sapphires. Being New York based meant we got to have many in-showroom visits with 1-on-1 help from the excited, attentive, patient, and knowledgeable Amrita who not only helped us get the exact ring we wanted but helped me facilitate surprising my partner so that she didn’t know we were ring shopping until Amrita handed her the box of stones to pick from!

Truly this is not the typical sales experience, it was a collaboration between artisan jewelers and us the patrons.

For anyone wanting a non-traditional engagement stone THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!
