My dream ring is here! I absolutely love it!

Stats and pics first:

2.55 ct round blue sapphire from Master Cut Gems. The stone is 8.22 x 8.12 x 5.13mm deep. The sides are my former studs: .615ct, 5.45mm, AGS Ideal cut, HVS1 and .61ct, 5.48mm, AGS Ideal cut, GVS1. It is set by Whiteflash in a modified Butterflies setting, originally designed by Pricescope’s own Yssie (to whom I will be forever grateful!). Platinum, size 7.5.

The ring has a wonderful weight and is extremely comfortable. To my eye, it strikes the perfect balance between being substantial enough to work with the size of the stones and my size 7.5 finger while being svelte enough to look sleek and sexy.

Many, many thanks to Yssie, both for her incredible design and for providing me with enormous assistance during this process. And I'm so appreciative of all the PSers who shared their thoughts and suggestions with me as I picked a stone and vendor. Finally, I am extremely grateful to Leon, Vera, Liza and the whole team at Whiteflash. We went through 4 or 5 rounds of CADs and they never made me feel high maintenance – rather they made me feel like a super VIP customer the whole time.

I was engaged back in 2000 with a blue sapphire three stone. This is the grown up, PS'ified version of that ring. :naughty: While I love my original engagement ring for sentimental reasons, I never adored it aesthetically. This one I adore! I have the greatest husband so I think this amazing ring is a wonderful tribute to our very happy marriage. :appl:

Great version of Yssie's 3 stone ring w/ your blue sapphire center!

Can you tell us what was modified from the original exactly? I believe the prongs are slightly different, too?

Thank you, Mochiko! When you posted your sapphire engagement ring this fall it totally spurred me on to find my dream stone. So thanks for the nudge.

Lmnvrb4 - oh a Montana three stone would be glorious! Please do it so I can drool forever!

Misskittycat - I too LOVE a good three stone. (Of course I also love good solitaire, a good halo, a good eternity...) But especially with size 7.5 fingers I love the coverage from a three stone. I'm a very active mom so I didn't want pave that I would worry about for my everyday ring. So a three stone fit the bill. And I've been seriously obsessed with Yssie's three and five stone rings since she originally posted each of them so it was a super easy choice to go with this kind of a trellis setting. Thank you for the kind words!

Missy - oh sweet Missy, thank you for the lovely words! Made me tear up a bit! I am so grateful to PS for the incredible education I have received here but also for introducing me to a community of people who share my passion. You are one of my favorite posters to read so thank you for being a big part of what I love about PS. And for goodness sakes, I hope you start healing and fast.

Niel - thank you!! This is actually my first time to have MRB on my hands where I can really observe them. My original three stone has princess cut sides and my five stone is cushions. I'm amazed and enchanted by their performance. I've thought of your perfect, perfect ring several times this week, wondering how you possibly get anything done with five of these puppies sparkling away all day?! It must be insane in person.

Thank you so much!!!! That's pretty much exactly how I feel too! It's so nice to be completely in love with a piece. I had a rushed photoshoot on a pretty gray day so I'm going to have to post more pictures when I can show off her electric blue side. :lickout:

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments! I honestly feel like royalty! My parents and in laws all just arrived for the long weekend so I'll have to continue my replies this evening.
