handshots, to show perspective - it's admittedly not the biggest size, but considering the difficulty in finding the colour I wasn't about to say no!
I also have what I think could be a good setting idea to compensate for the size, I'll post about that a lil later..

These next few were taken next to my new sapphire ring, for metal and size comparisons..
jff, I chucked on this YG milgrain band and liked it as a combo with my platinum sapphire ring quite a bit.. I know it may not be everyone's tastes, but I love the look of the mixed metals with the blue sapphire.. does anyone think it's silly to wear it like this even though I'm not married yet..? lol..

Rarely do I say this for light blues, but that is really nice! Honestly I''d think about something minimalistic, dainty and white for the setting, to keep it as open as possible around the stone as it''s sparkliness (making up the words again) should really be brought out as much as possible. It''s got that icy combination of high transparency and brilliance which I''m sure looks amazing IRL.
Regardng mixing and matching - if you like it, don''t think twice. I think your sapphire has such a color (at least in photos) that it looks nice next to either of the metals, and I honestly never think about what some ring, or a combination of them, might mean. |

Happy new year AJ! Your new Barry spinel is a lovely color.
How about a halo in white gold? That would take your 6mm to 8 or 9 mm. There is beauty, and then there is Bella..... http://www.pricescope.com/forum/show-me-the-ring/introducing-the-whiteflash-bella-pendant-t155624.html |

Stunning spinel, AJ! Very pretty compliment to your sapphire, but the sapphire remains on center stage.
 The two rings together are fine, but I think what I like best about them is that they each will look great on their own. Over the years I have loved having a plain gold band to wear on its own when I was busy with activities where I couldn''t wear my diamond ring. As for together, they are like what royality wears, so how can you go wrong?
