Gary has been looking for a light yellow round sapphire for me for a while now. He would go to Sri Lanka with his list of what his customers want and then he would email me to say he didn’t find one. I would tell him to just keep looking and when he finds it, he finds it

He found it :appl: it only needed a slight recut by him and is a mixed round cut.

Now my not so great photos— had surgery on Monday and am using a walker etc. I think the sapphire fogged up from going to the house to the patio, so take that into consideration lol.

I just wanted to grab a few shots. It glows pink with fluro

I promise you all will be the first to know when I get my nails done :lol:. I can’t drive right now and am on pain killers so it won’t likely be this week.

Yes, I recognize I have a fingernail problem :roll2:. I understand that I likely have the worse nails on PS;)2:(2I’ve also been under doctor’s orders to not shower or bathe until today. Can do a quick shower. Yikes! TMI lol

This is going to be a halo daisy ring. Inspiration so far:

Also, I invite you to add inspiration photos. Thank you.

Gary said it was sold to him as unheated, and his examination shows the way the silks are that he feels it is lightly heated. I opted not to send to AGS for a gem brief as this will have to sit in the safe for 1-2 years likely. I’ve bought entirely too much jewelry lately and my wallet is smoking and needs to recover.

I will likely set my emerald first. (Thinking a toi et moi for that one with a round diamond).

I will send for gem brief eventually.

Oh and as you can see the outside edge of the stone sort of has a bezeled look, which actually doesn’t bother me. I am probably going to bezel the stone anyway, so I believe the setting should take care of that mostly.

So, so pretty! You forgot to give the deets, but we will forgive you since you are on meds:lol:

Well wishes for a speedy recovery!

Edited to say I now see it's on the first pic. And I'm NOT on meds, lol

I couldn’t believe it that Gary found exactly what I was looking for in the size and price range too!

@Mrs_Strizzle that’s ok lol. I would say it’s from Sri Lanka, lightly heated, 2.3 carats. I’m not sure about the clarity, but it’s rather clean.

I absolutely love yellow sapphires, and I think this is going to be gorgeous once you set it. I love your second inspiration picture, but I’m partial to making my stones the star of the show. Can’t wait to see it finished!

I'm usually not that into yellow sapphires, but yours is really beautiful. I look forward to seeing your daisy. Hope you recover from your surgery quickly. My dad had surgery last year, and rehab was a drag.

Ok. It’s getting set by DK into a daisy ring with lab 3mm halo. I’m on a bling ban (lol!!) and so the price difference was enough for me to go ahead and sneak this one in.

This is a fun ring to give me flowers in my life— the kind that doesn’t die.

This stone is a problem to photograph— nothing does it justice.

I’ve made a thread on MMD forum since it neither has a mined diamond halo nor a mined diamond center.

size is getting changed to 10.25 and will fit 4 fingers.

The halo is 10 three mm stones, yellow gold prongs and white gold shank and halo edge.

It’s absolutely gorgeous! There’s just something about a pop of color in a big ol’ halo that does it for me. :drool: I can’t wait to see your pics of this beauty..it’s going to look stunning on you.

@strawrose thanka! I can’t stop watching the video!!

@SapphireLover thank you very much

@dk168 thank you! I’ll be over here dying until it’s delivered

@arkieb1 thank you— you know I appreciate your eye

@elle_71125 thanks, I can’t wait to get it. It’s me giving myself flowers because— you know— I deserve flowers in my life

@missy yes, a ball of sunshine indeed. When I make my jewelry, I sort of keep in mind who I might like to pass it to when I’m old. This one reminds me of my niece— she is simply a ball of sunshine that has brightened our world. So this will likely go to her because I think of her every time I see this ring. She’s 8 lol

@Bluegemz yes! A sunshine daisy! Thank you!
