I love your choice. It's beautiful. You should change your avatar.

ETA - where did you purchase the sapphire?

 

[vespergirl]

Wow! Perfect and gorgeous. I''m going to show my DH a pic and tell him I would love something like that someday - congrats!

 

[Bia]

I love it!

 

[Love in Bloom]

I''m so glad you''re happy, your ring is gorgeous!

 

[brendaman]

Wow! It''s really beautiful. You make me feel better about being in Month #4 with my search for a Sapphire e-ring. Will have to look up the thread of your search.

 

[joflier]

Just beautiful!!!!!

 

[Meowtown2]

Oops, I waited too long to come back!

Ianna - Thank you so much. It took me ages to pick it out, so I''m glad you like it!
Coatimundi - I''m including a fuller hand shot for you. I''m a size 4.5, but I had the ring made as a 4.75 because after the wedding I''m going to wear it on my left hand which is a bit bigger. I thought the stone would look too big but I don''t actually think it does! Phew.
westjen - Thank you so much! I bought the sapphire at the Natural Sapphire Company and worked with Livia, who was great.
Ellen - Thanks! It was a great first project. Emphasis on the word ''first'' (I hope)!
MC - Thank you and I should change my avatar now that you mention it!
Vespergirl - I''m SO flattered! When you get your ring, please post it!
Bia - Thanks!
Love in Bloom - I''m super happy, thanks!
Brendaman - I just read your sapphire thread. Good luck finding the right stone! It took me a long time to settle on one, but it was well worth the wait!
Joflier - Thanks a bunch!

Now a few more pics. A full hand shot first. (By the way, please excuse the sickly tone to my skin. I''m in the final stages of my dissertation and never see the light of day! I had no idea how vampiric I look until I posted! Yikes!)

 

[Meowtown2]

This one is a bit blurry, but you might see the proportions better...

And finally, reluctantly modeled by one of ''Meowtown''

 

[Beaglemom]

That is just sooooo beautiful!!!

 

[Jelly]

Haha, I think your cat is in love with your ring too!

It''s gorgeous, and a classic, stunning piece. Congrats!

 

[*Danielle*]

That is gorgeous. Are you wearing it as a right hand ring? Just asking because you said you were switching to your left.

 

[mommy2iz]

[sparklestick]

I love this ring. Someone else said it also but this is my dream RHR. Leon''s work is wonderful. You must be so pleased and I hope your dissertation went well.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

How on earth did I miss this? It is stunning!!!

 

[mrscushion]

It''s beautiful and very Leon! Congratulations!

 

[tlh]

"You''ve turned violet, violet!"

Wow.. I love how that changes color in different lighting. AMAZING RING. CONGRATS!!!

 

[laurel25]

It''s beautiful! I love the knife edge that the shank has, it really give the setting a bit of a vintage feel, which I personally love! Congratulations on putting together such a gorgeous ring!

 

[Kay]

What a stunning ring! The color is fabulous.

 

[steph72276]

Beautiful color and setting...very classic!
