My star sapphire reset is finally done!

[Keeliamira]

This ring has been almost two years in the making! My sapphire has been hanging out with my jeweler since September and I’ve missed her so! Prepare to be photobombed...! I made the mistake of wearing a bright yellow shirt for round one of the pics I took and the diamonds picked it up (doh!). I’m working on my photo skills but being able to photograph the star well aaaand have everything in focus is eluding me! The sapphire is about 6.7cts and is now set in 18k white gold with single cut diamonds. Original thread here:

Here she is...

Thanks so much for the ring love! @missy @Bluegemz @telate @stracci2000 @icy_jade @caolsen @whitewave @Rfisher @strawrose @apacherose @bling_dream19 <3

It’s not exactly how I thought it would turn out from the CADs, but this was my first go around with designing so I definitely learned a lot! I like the setting a lot, but I’m not over the moon for it the way I thought I’d be. I will love and enjoy wearing it and likely reset it again (while dh rolls his eyes)!

@Keeliamira I'm sorry it didn't turn out exactly how you wanted it but glad you are still going to enjoy and love wearing it. It's really beautiful. I think you did an amazing custom job.

Can you tell us what it is you aren't over the moon in love with how it is vs how you wanted it to be?

I think it looks beautiful

 

[tyty333]

Really pretty! I really like the color of the stone!

 

[Keeliamira]

Thanks @arkieb1 and @MakingTheGrade!

@missy I envisioned larger stones in the halo to give it a chunkier look. Also, I didn’t want the prongs on the halo to stick out, for lack of a better description. Each stone has one prong in the outside which,imho, makes it look “pokey”. I would have preferred arranging the prongs so they weren’t tot he extreme outside edge of the diamonds. That’s my fault though because I said as much verbally to my jeweler but I should have recognized it in the CADs and didn’t. I also think the sapphire is set a bit high and would have liked to see it lower in the halo by a bit. That was not apparent in the CADs at all. All little things really. But again, which of us pricescopers aren’t ridiculously picky, right? It is a lovely ring and I’ll enjoy it until I come up with something better, lol. IKWYM about antique jewelry. I feel exactly the same. The settings on antique pieces make my heart sing!

Thanks! I was inspired by an antique ring and the New Orleans fleur de lis, as I used to live there.

Knock your socks off gorgeous!

Thanks Alex!

The outside prong on each melee would help secure them. For sure the scalloped look of seeing only the rounded edge of each melee would be gorgeous but when I had that kind of Hali, my stones kept getting loose, and I even lost one!!

Thank you so much @Mamabean and @junebug17! I have to say, I am quite in love with the color of my little star. It’s almost always some version of a moderate lavender blue that just makes me happy!
