My Sapphire Pendant

[Smith1940]

I bought this with a bonus from work about eight years ago, and for some odd reason I never wear it...

Are you asking for honest opinions about it? You haven't said why you don't wear it. Are you keeping it or thinking of selling?

For my taste the bale is too large and makes the sapphire hang too low. I think the sapphire and diamond are real pretty and would love to see it reworked so that you get some wear out of such pretty stones.

 

[Smith1940]

Hi there - I'm keeping it. I just have a lot of stuff I don't wear because it's out of sight, out of mind, and I tend to stick to my plain diamonds for every day.

I love it! Now that its out for a photo shoot, maybe wearing it for a few days would make you fall in love with it all over again!

..."you've lost that lovin' feeling, oooOOOOooo that lovin' feeling...." (musical moment brought to you by the Righteous Brothers!)

I love it!

 

[Smith1940]

Thanks Amy! You're always so supportive about everyone's pieces.

Enerchi, you are so funny! (Wipes tears from eyes). Yes, I am going to make a real effort to wear it. I do like it, so I'm not sure why it doesn't jump onto my neck the way it should.

Glad I can make you smile! I may have heard that a time or two in my life...

I hope you can enjoy your pendant again - it really is a beauty and even tho your 'go to' items are diamonds, maybe these just need to be worn to be appreciated again. Just a thought. I know when I put something away for a while, then haul it out again after a while, I remember again why I loved it so in the first place.

Think of it as seeing an old flame again - he'll amuse you for the time being while you look back on old times, but you know it's not gonna last because you are committed to someone else, so just enjoy the time you spend together! (well, maybe not the BEST analogy, but you KWIM?!?)

 

[Smith1940]

I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes he's so beautiful but the fit just isn't quite right...but oh, he's so beautiful!

Got to go to bed now, Enerchi, before you make me laugh so much I won't sleep. KWIM??!!

Not only is it beautiful (and what a gorgeous color on that sapphire) but it looks so cute, like a bunny! The bale as the ears, the diamond as it's head and the sapphire as it's body!

It's beautiful Simple yet elegant

It's hard to really tell what color blue it is as there is no head on photo, plus it is bezeled so I'm sure the sapphire is darker as a result. Do you have specs on the sapphire. I'm guessing it is treated in some way?

 

[Smith1940]

It is an untreated sapphire. It's 0.70. Sorry, what do you mean by no head on the photo? Is that a photography term?

BTW the blue in these photos is accurate - that's really what it looks like! I'm going to wear it more often - I had forgotten how nice it can look until I received my ultrasonic cleaner and started buffing up my things!

Neck Shots Added Re: My Sapphire Pendant

Here are a couple of neck shots and a great close-up:

 

[Enerchi]

LOVE the neck shots!! It looks amazing on you!!! (did you enjoy your first date with the old flame? )

 

[Smith1940]

Actually, today's first date was with a number of old flames that never see the light of day! They're colourful and exotic...dangerous.

With the exception of my wedding and engagement rings, I said to myself: "Smith, step AWAY from the white metals!" So, today I wore my 22-carat gold drop earrings from Bahrain, my bejewelled egg pendant from Russia, and my 24-carat ring from Dubai!

I'll see if I have time to post some pics of my Arabian Princess look later on tonight!
