Blue Sapphire E-Ring help

[Truthstar]

Please see below. Thoughts on this stone? I was concerned it may be too light or transparent



Also, would this black out indoors?



Thinking of a setting like this:

Thanks

Truthstar,
What do you mean by "too transparent"?
Are you the intended wearer or will this be for someone else? I ask because channel set fell out of vogue several years ago.

Stone 1 looks lovely
Stone too looks overly dark in tone.

Thanks Chrono,

It'll be for my fiance Whats in style these days other than channel set?

By transparent I mean too washed out ie; if in Sun light would it loose color or seem grey. Its a lighter tone than others I've seen. I realize colored stones are all personal taste but I'm keeping in mind what is desirable in the market by the pros. Which would be a higher quality gem Stone 1 or :

Shared prong and pave are very popular these days; they look less metal-heavy. The link below will take you to a section of the forum where most have posted pictures of their rings.

Sapphire love sunlight; when they tend to wash out or appear gray is under indoor fluorescent lighting. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict on a stone by stone basis, so I would ask Andrew since both sapphires are his. Both the cushion and oval look medium dark in tone on my monitor. The difference I see between the two stones are likely saturation and brightness. My preference is the oval, based on the pictures alone.
