Need ideas for setting my blue sapphire

[Icy Melona]

Here is a clearer one I''ve found. Sorry, it''s not going to get any better than this. I have no skills like some PS''ers here!

Unfortunately, the diamond isn''t mine and was borrowed just for comparison in width!!

Ooh. How about pear sides?
P.S. You live in my dream city.

Yeah, come over to Sydney!! Then we can have a big PS''ers gathering!

That sapphire is dreamy! I see a three stone with pear sides...but I may be a little biased.

Cushionnut, thank you! I don''t know why but I''ve been really excited and happy that everyone has been so positive about my sapphire because I love it so much- I feel like this is my special one- it sounds silly I know. But I look at my sapphire, drool and dream during the day... this is not normal!!

Here you go... this is the stock photo from AJSGems!

I think it''s cut well for a sapphire, no windows. That is a drop dead gorgeous color. You did good for a first time sapphire buyer. I love it!!

Of course, they''d look even better with your stone

P. S. You''re not crazy, it''s a really wonderful sapphire; I haven''t seen many as nice and I''ve seen a lot of them (well, in photos at least

). It''s got that velvety quality and it wouldn''t be hard to pass it off as Kashmir.

This IS normal!! According to most of the people on this forum!

It is a dreamy sapphire and for a first time sapphire buyer.... I think you did remarkable in your choice!

It is a stunner and deserves to be dreamed about in the most perfect setting.

I am in the same boat as you, I think I may bite the bullet and hold out for Leon to set my sapphire. I long to make my dream a reality by having at least one Leon piece before I leave this earth!!

Is that about a five carat sapphire?

 

[Icy Melona]

Hi TL- the sapphire is 6.02ct, it does have alot of junk in the trunk!

What a stunning sapphire! The colour is to die for!

I''ve got a sapphire set in a halo and while it can look darker in some lights, it still looks very vibrant and the contrast against the diamonds is lovely. To be honest, no matter how you set that beauty I''m sure it''ll be wonderful and I can''t wait to see the result!

Here''s a pic of my halo to give you an idea (my sapphire has a less than perfect cut)!
