Re: Help wanted: finding a Sapphire e-ring so I can propose
Thanks everyone!! I just received it in the mail yesterday, and so far I've only had the chance to see it in indoor lighting.
My first impression is that it looks nice, is a good color, and sparkles with flashes of light (and occasionally other colors of the rainbow) kind of like how a diamond does, but less so. When I first look at it, it doesn't seem that lively; just looks like a normal blue sapphire, and in fact most of it is dark (to my eye). But then when I look straight down on it, under the light, I get a view of all the facets in it, that more closely matches what the camera catches. Then when I move it around the room, it gives off sparkles of light. I like it, but I think I'm going to have to see it in natural light, and maybe set with diamonds, before it really blows me away. Still, my gut tells me that this is what I had in mind, when I started off looking for a blue sapphire e-ring.
Anyway, here is the best photo I've taken of it so far:
I'm going to start a new thread (which I'll link to from here), with more photos and some pictures of settings that I like, to get some ideas on what kind of setting might be best for it. I went to a jewelry store over the weekend and spent a few hours looking at settings, so I've got some ideas to start with.
