Love This Ring - Plat Peacock Sapphire Wedding Set How Rare?

[blackngold666]

Just thought I would post a picture of one of my rings that I have collected.
Hallmarked: Plat. Peacock Sapphire (7mm) with Diamond Accents
around 1930s with inscription. I love collecting and occasionally wearing
them. How rare is this color? In person it displays deep greenish-blue.
I hope that you Enjoy!

That colour is actually quite common.

Chrono is correct, it's a lovely ring but the stone colour is not particularly rare. It looks perhaps like an Australian sapphire.

It's a beautiful ring. How many carats is the sapphire? It looks like a large stone. Love the color!

Thank you for your comments...the Sapphire is around 1.25 carat
It is much more impressive in person.

Hi there:

I have one that looks similar, and since its the only one I've seen like it, I was laboring under the false impression that it was rare too! Who knew? Anyway, here's mine, 2.4 cts unheated Tanzanian teal sapphire

I'm guessing that they (the person who made the ring) wouldn't have used platinum if it was a cheap stone?

Blue-green sapphire rough from the gemhunters in Australia.

I love the mix of green, blue and yellow sapphire in one stone. I'm sure your ring is very pretty.

Not necessarily; I often like to buy antique platinum settings and set new / modern stones in them because I like the style plus second hand settings are less expensive than new. In addition, platinum was far less expensive years ago (at least 3x less than current metal prices).

I know this is a really old topic on this board, but where did you purchase your sapphire come from, minousbijoux? I have been looking for green-blue sapphires that are lighter colors and am having difficulty. I like the look of Montanas, but am leery of the silver/gray factor. Does your sapphire from Tanzania have silver/gray coloring?
