Here is something a little different- sorry my very crappy digital camera really doesn''t do this any justice! This is a natural untreated wattle coloured parti sapphire from Australia (not rare, just not popular) I chose the stone and design for this ring given to me by my parents for my 21st. The colour really shows up in the sunlight going from yellow to green.

This topic is always on top. I don''t have an e-ring, but recently got a 2 ct light colored yellow sapphire from Thailand. I put it in one of those ring display things, and I''d swear it was a pale yellow diamond!

It is really beautiful. It is a bit lighter than this photo (seller''s photo), which is why I think it could pass for a yellow diamond.

ger, what are you going to do with your yellow sapphire? seems to have 3-ring potential to me!

Do you mean a 3-stone ring potential?

Not sure. My mom (90 years old) keeps asking me the same question whenever I show her one of my "new" treasures.

I bought a bunch of different colored sapphires from a dealer who seemed to specialize in them. The one I lusted after the most, the "intense" blue sapphire (2 ct) is too dark.

And what looked like a baby blue sapphire (1+ ct), turned out to be almost "cornflower," quite a bit darker than the photo. Now how does one combine all these odd-ball colors in sapphire?

Pale yellow, dark yellow (with inclusions), yellow-green, blue-green, and 2 shades of blue.

You should see how pretty a $3.50 1.5 ct piece of Chrysoberyl (from the same dealer) looks! This is the seller''s photo, and it is a tad lighter in real life, but just as lustrous. I bought the Chrystoberyl as a "sample," since I have a lot of yellow/gold stones which confuse me. This stone was just for a comparison if I get stuck. BUT, it''s sooo pretty.

I am getting a bit hung-up on gemstones. I''d collected EAPG (Early American Pattern/Pressed Glass) for so many years (even wrote journal articles), and now the glass just sits there...all over my house. Gemstones are so shiney, colorful, and SMALL compared to glass...small being the word.

BTW: The $3.50 for the Chrysoberyl includes shipping!

Path! Where did you get the stone? It''s a really nice ring

 

[Buggeyes7]

Mine is not as big and fancy as most of yours, but my simple Ceylon Sapphire suits me well! You all have very beautiful rings.

check out these guys quartz crystals. I have never(until now) seen double terminated quartz quite like this. amazing! they saw they are the only company in the world with them. when i contacted them they told me that the crystals were full of petroleum oil and that we should call them golden enhydro crystals on account they have moving water bubbles. i have found a new love of my life. i bought one off them and they are truly fascinating. its been years since i have found such an interesting crystal on the internet. they are also pretty wise as to what is what. any questions, they always happy to help

does anyone know whether another company has these stones... cheaper ?

I''m such a dork I never realized the colored stones had a place to post eyecandy. I get distracted by all the bling!

Here''s my favorite ring to wear lately, from the love of my life.

SDL ~ You and I have the same kind of "sapphire" tastes.

Did you ever get that one ring made for you or something like it? I''ll attach a pic so you know which one I''m talking about.

 

[tulip928]

When I go to Costco, the diamond case is the first place I look!

That''s a beautiful ring - those are some pretty sapphires.

 

[jamiesorr]

I saw a special (maybe on a news program) that compared Costco diamonds to Tiffany diamonds. From what they said, Costco is not as bad as you might think.

Anyone else remember seeing this?
