Cornflower Blue

[pwsg07]

Found these photos of the cornflower blue sapphire on Facebook. I believe it is the same stone on the Lotus ruby and sapphire colour types. Any comment?

Could be, but it’s hard to tell the true color against a black background, and then shoving the poor gem into a poorly done bezel, which covers up way too much of the crown,

Kinda looks royal/indigo to me, but it’s hard to tell.

This is what Prima had to say about it. I guess it is that gem. Poor gem, stuck in that ring.

“Rarely am I privileged to enjoy gems which have passed through my hands after they are in finished jewelry, so I was rather pleased to encounter this lovely 4.22-ct unheated Sri Lankan sapphire at the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry show mounted in a ring by Ralph Mueller of Scottsdale AZ. But, this is the 2nd half of the story!

Several years ago I purchased a 4.65-ct sapphire as an estate piece, badly in need of a recut, from long time friend Al Ceron in Las Vegas. After recutting to 4.22-ct, I submitted it to Lotus Gemology for their Au-Natural report, and Richard Hughes chose it to represent classic Cornflower blue in Lotus' Ruby & Sapphire Color Types chart.

I like it less with that setting.

Agree with everyone, seems such a shame to bezel such a beautiful stone and make it darker. Its almost like she knows she's too beautiful, and she's coming out of that thing!

It kind of reminds me of the ugly Dodi/Diana ring we were talking about in the blue sapphire thread yesterday.
