I picked this out yesterday for my upcoming birthday. The sapphire is a cushion cut, 1.33 carat and I picked a thick YG solitaire band for it.

The color isn't recording well in photos; the pictures on the right are more true color. It is definitely a raspberry color.

Happy to see this is your choice!

I love this colour & all complicated / darker 'pinks' - the raspberry & plum & other such fruit...

Thank you Alex T. I will try to get some close up shots (I have a few but they are blurry).

Thank you Missy. I dug out a raspberry shirt to wear to work today.

Thank you Sandyin Anaheim. We tried the sapphire with WG, RG and YG - it looked bad with RG and popped more in YG. It’s funny how appearances change based on the metal color you use.

Thank you Kate. I have really been enjoying the chunky band and lovely color. Nothing beats the feel of solid gold.

Thank you KaeKae. I thought my DH was going to ask for a box to wrap my ring for my birthday, but he was teasing me.

Thank you AV. I do see some pinks and blues sometimes in the stone but when I hold it by my lavender sapphire or pink sapphire you can tell the difference.

Thank you LisaRN, I seem to have acquired quite a few cushion cut sapphires now. It’s good to get away from rounds for a change.

Thank you Sarahb, it will be a good reminder of a fun day. I totally enjoyed the view of the Rocky Mountains on the way down to Denver.

Thank you Gussie, I was surprised it looked the best with YG. It’s a good color combo.

Thank you arkieb1. My husband likes easy shopping for my B-Day presents.

Thank you goldenfire. A friend of mine has the same ring in platinum with a round sapphire and I told her someday I’m getting that setting. I didn’t foresee it would be so soon.

Thank you Sharon. I appreciate it.

Thank you Junebug. Marty hardly has to ask what I want for my birthday or Christmas.

Thank you Calliecake. Marty doesn’t even have to wrap it.

Thank you Austina. It was honestly my last choice. That is the way it goes sometimes. It is like i almost hate to leave without picking out something.

Thank you apacherose. I like that it is such a vibrant color.

Thank you MissGotRocks. I am becoming a fan of thick bands.

Thank you DorotheaBrooke. It kind of reminds me of rhodolite garnet which is one of my favorite colored gems.

Thank you Acinom. Too funny on a fruity color; it reminds me of grape juice and some red wine. :lol:
