Montana Sapphire E-ring

[SunnySD]

Hi all,
Well I''ve lurked for a long time around here and everyone was very helpful, so I just wanted to say thanks and to show you the fruits of all the reading and things I did here.
I got engaged about 5 months ago now, the wedding is in early January.

The lady wanted something nontraditional and definitely not diamond, so I got a lovely (I think) montana sapphire - it''s from Dan Stair Jr. The first picture is of the loose stone. I got it set in this nice Bezel setting from Excel Diamonds. Judah from there was terrific to work with and even replaced the whole setting after it had a minor issue (long story.. but suffice it to say I was very worried about it and he helped out a ton!)

Any more shots of the ring? And also, congratulations on your engagement!

So where is the picture of the completed ring?

You can''t leave us hanging here without hand shots either.

Hi again! I was having trouble figuring out how to re-size the other pictures and then I had to run. Here are some more pictures! It looks a nice delicate blue in sunlight and more purple in incandescent light.

Here is a side view showing the nice open gallery.

Last one - this close-up shows how it catches the light nicely sometimes.

Just gorgeous! Love it!

ETA: What are the stats on the stone?

 

[Liane]

Love the sleek design! I''m rapidly turning into a huge fan of slim line, open bezels like that (collet set?). Congratulations on the engagement and on a beautiful ring.
