After going back and forth through various options for our upcoming 10th anniversary ring, I've finally found a sapphire that I think (fingers crossed) is the one. It's a 8x6.3mm oval Ceylon sapphire, arriving on Tue and I'm meeting with my jeweller on Wed. The ring will be platinum and the jeweller is very good.
My work is quite hands-on with lots of hand-washing and rummaging around with paperwork. Although I will remove my ring for heavy housework, showering, gardening etc, I want a ring that can stand up to reasonable everyday wear and tear without me having to baby it.
I don't want a bezel. I think they are gorgeous and have had a really well-made one before with a diamond, but I want something different for this sapphire.
I really like the look of the rings in the attached photo but will the diamonds drop out of the sides easily?
An alternative would be a three-stone ring with two smaller round diamonds and a plain shank. Would this be much more durable?
Any other suggestions for maximising durability of design eg low-set, basket setting, more prongs... anything else?
Thanks in advance!
