Hi friends!
I recently purchased a lovely vivid blue sapphire and am thinking through different settings and how to decide / budget for my RHR!
I’ve always loved rose cut diamonds, and the “Jaime” 3-stone from CVB designs.
I am debating using my native cut sapphire as the center, with light brown or lower colored rose cut sides to offset the vivid blue. Would the mixed cuts look strange? The one concern I have, many rose cuts I’ve seen have very domed profiles, but it’s hard to tell.
The other thing I am thinking about - how do I pick the size of side stones? My sapphire is 8.56 x 7.05 - I want as much finger coverage as possible and wear a 7.75! (BIG HANDS)
I am happy to source my own stones, and enjoy the hunt.
I like the proportions of this, but I think these are obviously much bigger stones and the same proportions for me would leave me with less coverage:
My sapphire for reference with it sitting on top of my hand - sorry the angle is bad:
What do you guys think?! If this is a bad idea - I may just go to a solitaire or shield cuts, something like that. Bezel for sure.
