Just decided to post something, too...

Ok here are more... During the day. Not a good picture, it is almost direct sun in Seattle.

 

[Arkteia]

In the day - Seattle, approximately noontime, shade, a good day...

One is at daytime, shade, the other one at 7 pm, almost evening...

Can you get any closer? Are you using your phone or a camera? What about side views of the ring?

 

[Arkteia]

Doing... slowly

You should be able to "blow up" or magnify your phone screen so that when you look through the viewer, all you see is just the ring. Hold still so the phone will focus, then click and you are done.

You stone is just gorgeous though.

ETA
I see you did it! Don't forget the side view.

 

[T L]

Wow, just wow. Speechless.

 

[Arkteia]

I shall try to get better photos of side view

I forgot to ask Kenny, Kenny, thank you, you are so nice, and kind, and supportive, as always!
You know, I always wanted to thank you for your so positive, kind presence here, on this forum... and thank for saying nice words about my stones. Soon I may ask your questions about fancy diamonds...

Chrono, thank you for your support, and for your advises. That advise given a long time ago about the principle of setting stones to their best advantage was invaluable...

TL, thank you, for all your help, and teaching, and I hope this sapphire is a vivid example of me trying to learn from you. I can put up with poor cut rather than with poor saturation. (I still can tolerate some "bad" modifiers, though, if I have other reasons...).

Everything looks gorgeous as usual!

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you, Jstar!

[Arkteia]

Thank you, Starzin! Thank you, Canuk-gal!

I'm back to look at your stunning sapphire and ring again. Just makes my morning.

 

[Justin_Cutter]

So beautiful! Yep all these pictures affirm my previous statement! I am so happy for you! A sapphire of that color is extremely rare.

Ark, Im sorry I'm a little late with these comments, but I wanted to say that I am in love with your stones. As much as I love my Sapphire...yours is absolutely killer!!

Question..does it have moods, like mine? Mine will go anywhere from Bright blue to a darker violet, depending on the lighting. I'm wondering if yours stays the same bright blue, or if it shifts at all to a violet. Whether it does or not, that stone is unbelievable.

The others aren't too shabby either

 

[Arkteia]

Chrono, thank you! I owe you so much, and my choice of settings has (hopefully) improved as the result of your perfectionism and attention to details.

Justin, thank you! (And yours is still the best... )

ChrisA, thank you! I do not know about moodiness. We may use different lights. In another post you mentioned using Reveal bulbs and I never heard of them. Any color change depending on the light. All I can say that my does not get inky in the evening. Talking about secondaries, because there are no pure colors, one man's red is another man's orange, etc, I would say my stone's secondary is violet.

I hope someday I'll find one half as beautiful. I love it!

Thank you, Bluebirrd
