Re: Help requested for blue sapphire pairs for earrings
Little black dots happen when the tone falls into the dark range or has too much extinction. You'll be fine with a medium dark tone as long as the saturation is strong. Most gems are a mixed brilliant cut, meaning a brilliant crown with a step cut pavilion. Because the aim is to heighten the colour... |

Re: Help requested for blue sapphire pairs for earrings
Chrono -- Thank you for replying. I truly appreciate it! Your comments are very helpful as I'm trying to learn more. I did look at the hand shot on the Gemfix stones and still couldn't tell if they were going to be the color I want or not. Clearly, I have much to learn! I have been so worried about ... |

Re: Help requested for blue sapphire pairs for earrings
Hi, blueiris!!! :wavey: Well, I think it depends on what shade of blue you want. I feel like mine are very close to what you have in your example pair of earrings, and they are a deeper, richer shade of blue. But because they are diamond cut, they have good sparkle, too. I'll going to attach a pict... |

Re: Help requested for blue sapphire pairs for earrings
Just wanted to add that the sapphires in some of my photos seem to look kind of washed out. I am not used to photographing colored stones, I guess! But in person, the colors seem a little richer than they appear in some of my photos. Also, the 6.2 mm (slightly lighter) pair definitely sparkle more, ... |

Re: Help me with a DBTY necklace!
I had my DBTY necklace made by WF and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I also wouldn't hesitate to use BGD, where I got my e-ring diamond & first setting. Both do beautiful work! Here are a couple photos of my DBTY, which has (11) 12 pt. stones, evenly spaced, and the necklace is in platin... |

Oooh, pretty! I love how it looks on its own, and also layered with your other DBTY necklaces! The sapphires look great, too. I'm happy to see this necklace in sapphires because for a while now, I've been thinking of getting one to layer with my bezel set diamond pendant. I'm glad to know that WF do... |

No way! We have daughters with the same name? That really IS amazing especially since I don't consider it a common name, although classic! What does her middle name start with?

Re: Blue Sapphire trio!
No, unfortunately I didn't try on the sapphire and diamond bands at Tiffany's. I honestly didn't see any, and if I had, I would have tried them on. You end up mesmerized in that store and don't always think of everything at that moment! I'd love to have one, though, as an alternate. But I am trying... |

blueiris!...have you chosen a wedding band yet? I am looking forward to pictures of your Vatche e-ring and whatever band you choose!

Re: Calling Diamondseeker and any other huggie and stud owne
I have .80-ish studs (1.60 ctw) and the 1.5 ctw huggies from WF. I wear both all the time, for everyday occasions (and no occasion!). But I agree with AprilBaby that the huggies somehow seem a little dressier. And I'd say they are blingier. They're really pretty! If I had to choose just one, I'd wan... |

Re: WhiteFlash Diamond Hoops x 3!!!
Thanks Amy and MGR ! blueiris , I think when I was younger I tended to buy something I wanted that was within my budget and not necessarily the highest quality.

Re: WhiteFlash Diamond Hoops x 3!!!
I think you made the perfect choice, DS!! I agree 100% with your reasoning about wanting to really see the ACAs and rising diamond prices, and heirloom pieces. And since you're keeping the current pair, you won't have to wait any longer to "officially" wear your new huggies! I am wearing m... |
