Got the green light from my husband to sell my diamond from my engagement ring...now that it's real I'm sort of chickening out. Didn't make me wait until we were married 5 years after all :p
James Meyer recently put up this 3 stone sapphire ring and I love it but once again I'm worried about the color of the sapphire being too light. Any opinions on this ring?

I am also concerned about the size. One of the reason I'm selling is because I'm self conscious about the size of my diamond. I am also worried that downsizing to something like this would be too much of a jump for me (although I've worn a diamond this size and it looks great on my size 4 finger). I think though if it's a colored stone I won't feel the same way if it's close to the size I currently have just bc for a lot of people-they notice a BIG diamond quicker than a colored stone (not that I don't think the JM ring or changing won't already draw attention-never the less-logical or not these are my thoughts lol)

I have sent Jim a message requesting a finger/outdoor shot of the sapphire to see the real color on a non-dark back drop. I'm not interested in a super light sapphire (some of the rings on DB/LT lately have been beautiful 3 and 5 stone sapphire/diamond rings but much too pale of sapphires for my tastes).
I also asked if he has any stones (either sapphire or diamond) smaller than the 1.8 carat sapphire he has to see if there are any options not listed on his site.
If all goes well my ring should be in NYC by the end of the work. Working out shipping logistics right now and will also ask Jonathan to put that 1.64 N AVR into my setting just to see what it looks like Not that I want/plan on spending the entire budget on a stone (the AVR would eat up pretty much any profit we would potentially make) but might as well see it before making a final decision.
I plan on keeping the setting until later on down the road possibly replacing it with a lower color OEC when the time is right or other colored stone.
I'm a bit nervous about changing my ring. I really like my e-ring (although not enough to keep it I guess lol) and am worried a 'change' might not meet what I've envisioned. A trip isn't really an option currently due to all the summer/family/camping things that we have on the go and doesn't make much sense time/money wise currently either.
Thoughts? Feedback?
