Green sapphire e-ring?

[Marie8189]

I'm completely new here so please forgive my total ignorance.

We purchased my e'ring and it should be here in two days. In the meantime, I'm obsessing wondering if I chose a "bad" gemstone because I can't seem to find a ton of info on green sapphires...at least not this shade of green.
I absolutely love the color and I know that really all that matters is that *I* like it.
Info on quality of cuts, etc. seems so confusing.

It's 2.46 ct, 6.9 x 6.9 mm

A sidenote: we've actually been married a few years and I'm just now picking a ring

It's large and an even color, but has a grayish mask and is cut deep. I would maybe contact a cutter to see about improving the brilliance (sparkle) of the stone, if you're willing to pay the cost of recutting and resetting to improve the beauty. You'd lose ct wt but keep the same face-up size.

I would not recut this
I think the color is what I would expect from a green sapphire.
They are not popular because they have a muted forest green color. Green is “done better” by a lot of other gemstones, and sapphire does a lot of colors “better” as well, so those two combinations- it’s just not a go to gemstone.
If you love it and paid a fair price I don’t think you have anything to worry about. And worrying before you have seen it won’t do much anyways. Try just to be excited about it until it’s here- then see how you feel

That all makes sense. It's in an art deco style yellow gold and diamond setting, which I sort of like to contrast how moody the sapphire is.
I'm not sure the price I paid for it was fair, necessarily, for ignorance's sake. And the company I bought it from seems notorious for higher prices. It seems about normal from what I can tell compared to a few other sites, though I'm nervous to say it "outloud."
But most other I've seen are lighter or bluer (and absolutely gorgeous in their own right) and...well, I like a more subdued dark green instead of the more intense/ bright greens. Is more sparkle possible in a darker stone? I think that's what makes me second guess it.
I see lighter stones with more brillance; do you have to sacrifice one for the other?

How lovely to have something different. Please come back and post pictures when it arrives.

It’s already cut quite well with a high crown and small table. It should sparkle well, given some light. I’d wait for the stone to arrive.

I mean not necessarily sure you can tel lithe brilliance of that stone from the photograph. The camera appears to be tight on her face and idk about the lighting. Again I’d wait to see it before making assumptions about how this will perform.

I think it will be beautiful.
Have a look on YouTube for “greeen sapphire ring” there’s a couple of videos from Certified Jewellers (an eBay seller btw) showing how green sapphire look set into rings.
Obviously inside, at night, it will look less impressive but that is the way with any deep toned gem.

I also have a Aussie green sapphire ring and they are an unusual delight. Your stone looks a little dull in the pics but I suspect once you get it in person, it'll be brighter and sparklier than this...

If in doubt, you could consult Doug from https://www.bespoke-gems.com/lapidary-services-for-the-jewellery-trade.php to see if he thinks it needs a minor recut to improve.

 

[Marie8189]

It's here and it's love! It does have a slightly grayish tone and more of a bluish green color changing effect than I expected but it's also sparklier than expected.

The videos on YouTube were really helpful !
The way it looks in different lighting is really pretty

Very beautiful, love the setting too. It really showcases the sapphire.
And I must point out one unwritten Pricescope rule... you being “fresh” to this forum.....all beautiful ring postings must contain at least 6 glamorous shots.

It’s beautiful! The setting is perfect too!

 

[Crazie4Cuts]

Wow! It’s gorgeous! In yellow gold, the sapphire looks great. I hope you are pleased! The setting complements your green sapphire.

 

[stracci2000]

Omg! Truly divine!

 

[lilmosun]

So much prettier than the original pictures and the setting is perfect for it! Congratulations!

 

[Dandi]

Oh my, the setting is perfect for the stone! I love how it pops against the richness of the yellow gold. Congratulations on a truly beautiful and unique ring!

 

[natasha-cupcake]

I LOVE it! The setting is divine. Love the yellow gold and the green sapphire is unique and beautiful. Great job!

 

[scouty]

Love it with the gold! Congrats!

 

[Sabrina31]

Another green sapphire fan???? YAY YAY YAY!!!!
Welcome to the green sapphire club and I love the stone and ring you picked!

 

[clumberlove]

Beautiful! It looks great in the setting, the yellow gold really makes it pop. It has a very different feel compared to other green stones, just lovely . Moar photos please!

Nothing would look as good as a sapphire in this color (a diamond! ,). Dark blue is taken for granted, dark green - as you have it, is surprising; happy to see a beautiful one!

That is sooooo pretty, especially set in the yellow gold. I really like it!

 

[minousbijoux]

Really well done. The antique-y color of your sapphire so very much compliments the detail work on your ring. And it looks so good with the yellow gold. It is a lovely and unique ring. So...congrats on your engagement and stable marriage!

 

[Bluegemz]

Super beautiful AND special! Gorgeous and congratulations

It’s beautiful! I always love yellow gold with green! Enjoy and stare!

Excellent job on the setting, I think. I saw the photo of the gem, only, and thought, "that's pretty." When I saw it in its setting, I was taken aback by how beautiful it looked. You really brought out the character and color of the gem.

 

[Marie8189]

Very beautiful, love the setting too. It really showcases the sapphire.

Thank you so much! I'm understanding how someone falls in love with a piece of jewelry
Well, I don't want to break any rules

 

[Marie8189]

Thank you, all! I genuinely appreciate the kind words on how it turned out I was so nervous wondering how the online mockup would come out on real life.

What a beautiful ring, Marie! I love the high crown on the stone and how it interacts with the light. The rich green is a lovely and unexpected color. And what a pretty antique setting with scrumptious details!

You designed something unique that suits you so well. Well done!

You know we need nature pictures too, don’t you?

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

P.S. Do you mind saying who you sourced the sapphire from? I really do like the high crown. I imagine it brings out the sparkle very nicely.
