How would this look with a sapphire?

[Patty]

I'm thinking about putting a sapphire in this pendant.

Valeria or anyone else with Photoshop skills, could you show me how this would look with a blue sapphire as the center stone?

If so, THANK YOU in advance!

 

[Patty]

Here it is without a center stone:

 

[Kaleigh]

I think it would be stunning!! Really!!

 

[Matata]

LOL, Patty, I tried to insert a sapphire and it looked like it came out the wrong end of a chicken. That''s what I get for trying to be artistic with no talent!

 

[belle]

loverly..

 

[Kaleigh]

You said it sis. Yummm.

 

[jcrow]

i LOVE

that necklace!! yum!

 

[valeria101]

The blue version looks fantastic!

What is the diameter of the stone? It always feel good to do a bit of hunting ...

 

[dimonbob]

I think a bright sapphire in that necklace would look great!

Show picture when it is done.

 

[Patty]

Thank you for your imput Kaliegh, diamondbob,and jcrow. Matata, thank you for trying to help me! You should have seen my blue blob that I put in it using Photoshop!

Belle, that is amazing, thank you!

Valeria, the stone is 6.5mms. Wink said that it would take about a 1.46c round sapphire of that size would be about $263.

I'd love to try to match the sapphires in my three stone ring...

 

[Patty]

One more showing the color of my sapphires...although I know it''s hard to get a good idea on a computer monitor.

 

[Patty]

Last one...

i think the blue looks better in the pendant that the original center stone! stunning!

peace,movie zombie

 

[belle]

you''re welcome patty, it was my pleasure.
i think the blue looks divine...i can''t wait to see it finished. it is going to be fantastic.

 

[Kaleigh]

I can''t wait till this baby is finished. The blue really makes it pop. Good job belle. Makes me want one!!

 

[bstraszheim]

Patty, I really think that the contrast of the blue sapphire with the diamonds will enhance the look of the pendant. Sounds like a great project. Good luck choosing the stone! Please post along the way : )

I wish you well,

Bridget

Beautiful, thanks!

I''m a huge sapphire fan so I''ll probably stick with a sapphire, but I love the idea of a square cushion shape!

 

[Patty]

That is Belle's and thenI played around in Photoshoop and darkened up the sapphire a bit.

And thank you for your input, Kaleigh, Bridget, moviezombie and SanDiegoLady too.

 

[Kaleigh]

Patty,
I like the darker version better. Just so long as it''s not too dark. Yummm. Can you tell us where you found the halo?? It''s so pretty. Some day I would love one!!!

 

[elepri]

I think it looks gorgeous with a blue sapphire! May I ask where the picture if from? I have a yellow sapphire that i''d love to put in that kind of setting.

 

[icekid]

oooh it would be FANTASTIC! of course, I am rather partial to those lovely octagonal halos

 

[belle]

i too just love that halo

where did you get it patty? add me to the list of wanting one!
here''s yet another darker version...

 

[Patty]

LOL, Icekid, I think you have GREAT taste!

I bought the pendant from an individual who posts at BTD. She works for a jeweler and had it custom made.

I do know that BTD sells a round halo pendant semi-mount, though.

It is similar to mine but without the diamonds on the bale...and it''s round, lol.

Here is a picture of it:

What if it was a natural stone that did not fit the sidestones in the ring?

 

[diamondlil]

Wow, Patty, that is going to be beautiful with a sapphire.

You mean did not match the sidestones?

It doesn''t have to match perfectly but I''m pretty sure that I want a sapphire.

And I think a natural sapphire would probably be too expensive.

I was thinking of THIS or similar (Listing. #14126 on this page).

 

[Patty]

That is beautiful. It's a spinel, I see.

I don't know anything about them.

It looks like the price would be comparable to a Chatham sapphire.

 

[Kaleigh]

Ana,
I know nothing about Spinels either. Can you tell us about them???
