Beaudry Ring with Richard Homer Sapphire from Pearlman's

[diamondseeker2006]

Our anniversary was in late December, so earlier that month I discovered Pearlman's sale on their Beaudry in-stock settings. I have always loved Beaudry but not the price! So it was a great opportunity to pick out a special ring for our anniversary! Many thanks to both Bill and Julian for their excellent customer service and beautiful jewelry!

Blue sapphire is my favorite colored gemstone and is also my birthstone, so that is what I decided to put in the setting. I figured since it only needed a small stone, I could afford to get a high quality sapphire which I couldn't do if the setting needed a 3-4 carat stone! Julian at Pearlman's and a good friend were so kind to help me look for one, and I greatly appreciated them looking! Finding a sapphire in a great color, cut, and perfect size for the setting was not easy, but I finally ended up with a beautiful 1.42 cts, 6.6mm stone from Ceylon cut by Richard Homer! Richard was so nice and helpful, and I highly recommend his beautiful stones! Concave cut really adds sparkle to a round stone!

Here are pictures of the the ring indoors under incandescent light and also Pearlman's picture showing the engraving on the sides.

I've been waiting to see this one! I love the color of the sapphire and the cut of it as well. It looks very beautiful on you!

Congrats on your anniversary and a beautiful ring!

Aaaaahhh! I adore it!!

 

[Enerchi]

Its beautiful DS!!! Just stunning on your perfect hands
Congratulations on your anniversary - what a gorgeous way to remember the event!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Thank you everyone! Pictures just cannot capture the rich color of the sapphire, unfortunately..or at least I am not competent enough to do it! I almost got a 5 stone ring, but I figured I would go for something unique!

Do you think it would confuse people too much if I changed my avatar picture to this ring? My picture now looks like 100 other people's anyway! But I always get confused when other people change their picture! (Maybe I shouldn't since this is a diamond forum, primarily.)

 

[MissGotRocks]

Changing your avatar would take some getting used to but I guess we'd adjust! I don't blame you though for wanting to showcase your new ring!

 

[mrssalvo]

Oh DS, it's stunning beyond belief! I'm so glad you decided on a blue sapphire for that setting and waited for the right one b/c that one really is just perfect! The setting is just gorgeous as well, the detailing...incredible!


oh and I think you should totally change up your avatar. Many folks have sets that look like your current one but you are the only one to have this beaudry

 

[armywife13]

It is stunning! What a great way to celebrate your anniversary!

 

[stci]

OMG! Just gorgeous! Congrats!

[Enerchi]

DS it's so beautiful! Congratulations on your anniversary, may we ask what number?

I adore Beaudry settings, have for ages, but not their price. I've ogled that Pearlmans sale many times. And Julian is a doll too isn't he? So patient.

I would love more pics, maybe some close ups?

Well done DS, you have a fine collection of jewels

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Okay, I can try to see if any of these will work for the avatar, but I sense that I might have to take more pictures to get a better one! And I don't have a lot of patience or ability to do that!

Thank you ALL for the nice comments! And thanks especially to MrsS who hears all my deliberations on every jewelry purchase!

Angeline..it was the 35th! Yes, we were babies when we got married! And yes, Julian is as nice as he can be and so is Bill! We just have access to the finest jewelers here on PS!

 

[Kim N]

Congratulations DS, your sapphire ring is beautiful! I'll bet the sapphire sparkles in sunlight.

If you don't mind, can you tell us your impression of the overall quality of the Beaudry setting and the quality of the melee?
