Hello,
I posted this story in the RockyTalky forum, but here's the short of it: A few months ago, our house was robbed, and I lost my e-ring and other jewelry. I was very sad for a while, then went searching for a new e-ring, started looking for diamonds (like my original e-ring), just couldn't find a diamond I loved, wanted something colored but not super bright, and ended up falling in love with this strange-colored pale yellow sapphire from GemsNY when I went there in person. In person, it looks like the exact same color as my 14kt yellow gold wedding band -- it is a very different kind of yellow sapphire color. It's GIA certified no heat treatment, which made it more expensive, but I just couldn't find a sapphire that I liked as much as this one (I don't have anything for or against heat treatment).
I've attached a pic. It looks bigger than it is because the gem holder is holding it high above my hand.
I've also attached CADS for the ring design -- I changed my mind a bunch of times and I think I started driving the jewelers a little mad, but they have been so accommodating, I am very grateful. The folks at GemsNY had a CAD ready for me in less than 24 hours, and a second CAD with changes ready for me in another 24 hours.
My final bit of crazy indecision is whether I want the milgrain around the center stone...
So, please tell me I'm not crazy about this center stone and ring design so I don't drive my husband and the kind folks at GemsNY mad with indecision!
