Thank you SO much, everyone! You guys are all so sweet!
I''ll try to take better pictures this weekend. I know the two pictures I posted were not very good.. They were from my iPhone.
MakingTheGrade, the sapphire is 6.6mm and my real ring size is a 4 but I like my rings a bit loose.
Oh, and the JM setting is in 18k unplated white gold with platinum bezel and wraps. And since I don''t have better handshots or pictures of the ring, I''ll post a picture of the sapphire on the back of my hand on a cloudy Southern California day. I took the picture right before I sent it off to JM so I had something to look at during the wait. Hehe.
ckim, your ring is absolutely exquisite! Congratulations. I am totally inspired. I have my own blue sapphire project twirling around in my head, and, a few months ago I decided that JM is the man for the job (quite unbeknownst to him. LOL!). I''ve been dragging my feet (waiting for the sky to open up and money to rain down, I suppose), however, your lovely photos just sealed the deal for me! I must scour the house, for cash – I''ll be turning the seat cushions over and checking all my pockets tonight! *SIGH* Every woman should own a ring of such classic, simple beauty, and with as much charm and grace as yours.
Thank you for sharing. It is a lovely, lovely piece.
