Thank you for all of the wonderful comments. I do have a few more pics (and I know I''ll take more later) to share, but first of all, a few things about the setting:

18kt
dimend SCAASI semi-custom
1A1A setting
engraving goes 3/4 of the way around
size 7

The ring on the site has a bright blue sapphire--so that helped visualize it a lot. Link

That is absolutely the most beautiful ring I can even imagine!!! The engraving and mounting as a whole are exquisite, and that stone is showcased to perfection!!

You are looking for an heirloom worthy piece, and I don''t think there has been any piece I''ve seen posted that is more worthy of handing down than this.

Congratulations, and enjoy it in happiness and good health!!
