That "tradition" is actually pretty recent and the result of a dumb marketing campaign on the part of companies like DeBeers. It's silly anyway; just figure out what you want, and shop from there, instead of setting the price tag first.

I've been looking around lately for a good source of loose synthetic sapphires that come in nice shades of green and I cannot seem to find anything that looks both reputable and actually has sapphires in green. Does anyone have any recommendations for a seller?

Wow that is a lot of money. Just out of curiosity, how did you settle on spending that much?

On jewelers, do your homework on them and don't go to anyone that you can't find strong recommendations for. A person's reputation in the business should, in theory, speak for itself. Same for brokers.
