stats, such as they are:

1.5 ct sq cushion natural sapphire (from cherrypicked), cut muy muy deep

plat 900 setting with about .15 ctw pave, three sided milgraining, and decorative cutouts/a few melee diamonds on the sides of the shank.

many thanks to widget, valeria101, oldminer, richard scherwood, and all the LIWs ! (and of course, flyfisher and those who coached him along

) !

The sapphire doesn''t get full due in these pics..it is just gorgeous out in sunlight and in low incandescant light.

Such a beautiful sapphire! Such a beautiful ring! Congratulations!

 

[rainbowtrout]

thanks guys

The Beanie Babies were from a friend who just happened to be in a toy store when we called to tell her, so she brought them over. In the PS tradition I''d give it a go on my mom''s kitten, but I''m afraid he''d try to eat it!

I''m going to have to get it sized down a tad--it''s a 6 and I think 5.75 would do the trick.

 

[BeaudryBabe]

I love it, it''s lovely. I am partial to sapphires!

Love the deep slightly-violetly color. You could swim in that stone! Flyfisher did good!!! Bravo!
Love the setting - the tacori-esque swirls on the side are beautiful. Details where did he find the setting?

Are you going to have Dave Atlas take a look at it because of concerns about how it was set?
I might ask him if the prongs should be shaved down a little.

Congratulations on your engagement Rainbowtrout and Flyfisher!
And double congrats on your Fulbright Scholarship!
