As a high school graduation gift my mom got me a sapphire ring from a department store. I''ve worn the ring daily ever since. After I learned about this website I''ve realized that the sapphire quality was far from tops (an opaque navy). I planned on keeping it just the way it is though, primarily out of sentimental value but while my mom and I were shopping for my b-day, she dropped by the fine jewelry country to see if there was anything there that struck my fancy. (A large, beautifully cut aqua pendant did strike my fancy but by that point I knew I could do better going with independent faceters and the jewelers listed here.) Anyway, this is a very long-winded way of saying that I''m not thinking about getting the sapphire replaced in my ring for Christmas.
It''s a 4x6 oval, but I was wondering if an emerald or cushion shape with the 4x6 dimensions would work as well. It''s a 4-prong setting, if that helps. And from my previous readings a stone would have to be within .1 of fitting (i.e. 3.9-4.1 and 5.9-6.1) or is that incorrect?
Thanks in advance for your answer to my very basic question!
P.S. Here''s a hand shot of the ring. The stone usually appears darker than this...the camera was trying to flatter it.
