My 5.54 ct sapphire is here. And she is blue!

Gorgeous ring and beautiful, bold blue color! Congratulations on your newest addition Acinom! :love:
 
Absolutely amazing and a pleasure to see on your hand.
Was it darker in colour in the store? (Because you mentioned you were worried a little about the colour being slightly darker.)
But it looks fabulous on your hand out of the store lol!
The colour is totally on point!
You have a good local shop to visit! lucky you because the Internet is wonderful but it is so much fun perusing beautiful jewellery in person isn't it.
Congratulations again :appl:
 
Aww, I feel so overwhelmed and humbled by your nice comments. It's still relatively early here in Europe and it's so nice to read all your nice words. Thank you!!!

Thanks you for your kind wordsNiel, DandT, Rosebloom, moviezombie, LuckyKellyK, woofmama, vintageinjune, marcy, luv2sparkle cflutist, caf, JoCoJenn :wavey:. Thank you for liking the setting and stone.

I am so glad I choose for this stone in the end DK.

Thank you Junebug. I am so glad I have a cushion now.

Haha, I remember the Photo's from Beyonce. What a huge compliment to compare the colour of my stone with hers Asscherhalo Lover

minousbijoux :lol: :lol: . Thank you for your kind words. I am so happy with the setting now. The sapphire seems to rest in an egg, the kitten paws are powerful, but soft shaped and there is not a single detail that is too much. So glad I gave the setting some time as it seems to well.... belong.

Ah, those vendor pics were indeed quite dark arkieb. This stone needs a bit of light to shine. The jeweller is located in a beautiful but small age old canal house in the middle of the city. It's soooo dark in there. The sapphire was literally hiding. Glad you convinced me to keep the setting as is!!!

Laraonline: thanks!!! I will try to find the vendor pics. The gets darker when the environment is really dark. The store is like a dark whole on Winter days. I could not have bought this sapphire online so I am really glad with the opportunity.

What a beautiful rich colour and a great find Acinom - I'd been wondering when a blue sapphire might make an appearance in your collection! Do you remember Justin's ring? Who wouldn't want a sapphire:

That is so funny you posted that! That ring is the first one I thought of too, to compare with Acinom's. I have had those photos saved on my computer. My favorite is with Justin's girl holding her hand up next to her hair. That was the last time I saw a stone with the same beautiful color. There have been many sapphires posted that have been beautiful, and I love those too. But once in a while one comes along that makes you hold your breath. Justin's and Acinoms are those for me!
 
Gorgeous ring and the sapphire is incredible. Do you have an origin for it? Looks Kashmir or Burmese.
 
I think that color is amazing! Exactly what I would want! I can see why you fell in love with it! :love:
 
WOW!!!!! Wear that beauty in great health! It's truly drool-worthy. :drool:
 
Absolutely gorgeous! :love: You could look a very long time before ever finding another sapphire with such a fabulous color! I very much like the setting as well! The stone is large enough to stand on it's own with the side baguettes!
 
A big hug for all the new posters!!! :wavey:

Thank you lknvrb4, MissGotRocks, babymonster, Michelez, canuk-gal, Catmom, tyty333!!! You are all so kind.

Wow, Polished and luv2sparkle: what a huge compliment that you are comparing my stone to the stone Justin bought for his girlfriend. I remember that thread well. My favorite was the where she touches her hair as well!!

Whahahaha m-2-B: the sapphire was my big project for this year. I have two stones sitting at Caysie. I am looking forward working with her and after that I consider myself banned :lol:

Hi TL :wavey: I realise I did not share the full specs. I will describe them after this. The suspected origin is Sri Lanka.

Aww, thank you Missy! I can really recommand the USD of right hand rings :D . Thank you for your kind words!

Beautiful! I'd love to have a jewelry playdate if we lived closer to each other! :)
 
Wow! Looks great on your hand. I love the stone and the setting. Those straight baguettes are awesome!
 
::fans self::

I saw this in another thread but had to drop by and drool again. This is like the most perfect blue stone of any type that I have ever seen.
 
I think that shop must seriously be like a deep dark cavern or den, I remember a pic in or just above the case even darker again than the pic above :lol:

And the stone is no way too dark in any of your pics, it's STUNNING :naughty: I love the setting, it suits her!!!!
 
*THUD* OMG that is the bluest blue I think I've ever seen! Just divine...
 
your sapphire ring is exquisite. The shade of blue is perfect. It looks so bright in the photos. I love your ring and junebugs. Congratulations on your new possession.
 
AAAAEEE!!!

Acinom- unbelievable! Everytime I come to SMTB you have posted another WONDER! I don't know how you find these gems- honestly I never even cared about colored stones- then your Paraiba came along... and then the zircon and the rubellite- now THIS!!! Seriously I have never seen such a stone in real life.

Thank you soo so much for posting all these photos and sharing your amazing pieces. I love imagining you on your bicycle with your jewels- tickles me ever so much :)

I quite agree this stone has a perfectly gorgeous and one of a kind setting and you are so right to leave her there. oouuh- love that it is French, too.

Love :love: :love: :love: Congratulations and wear in good health always :halo:
 
I just keep coming back to this ... the color is unreal. Acinom, do you know if the stone exhibits any fluorescence? It has that wonderful "glow" that I associate with excellent rubies, where the "je ne sais quois" is the attributable to something just off the human visual spectrum. I've been looking for a stone for a setting I've had sitting around ... this is totally swaying me towards sapphire! Now I just need to get lucky enough to find one like this .... :Up_to_something:
 
The colour is just phenomenal! Wow! :love: You have the most wonderful collection Acinom!
 
That is a mesmerizing color!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
