So ... just filling in some time durring covid 19
Deep sigh
before i came here and met and befriended you good people i had spent thousands at the mall jewler
now i knew about the 4 Cs and the mohs scale and i found out pretty early on not to buy anything not on promotion but i was so sooooo woefuly ignorant on sooooo much else
Anyway so please be nice
I really loved this ring under the bright store lights and it does sparkle nice at home at nighttime in our atrocious lighting
but i hate hate hate the darkness of the sapphires
Because i have sussage fingers the ring was made to size and i doubt if i even noticed the darkness in colour when i tried in on when i picked it up from the shop
So i still really like the setting, (although i do acknowledge it could be alot better quality) i like the weight and width of the band and it feels nice on my finger
anyway im thinking natural sapphires of a nice actual blue blue would be too exspensive so im just thinking out loud about options for replacement stones and i certainly can't afford to do it right now
i have no idea where to look for stones or what size and shape to shop for
and im looking at options for type of stones ?
im thinking a mid blue topaz because i actually really love blue topaz but im open to suggestions
I don't care about heat treatments or even man made stones, i just want to love my ring
I would be finding a local jewler to do the work
I take the crapiest photos sorry, phones arnt good with colours
its blue if you think of it in context to a big set of felt pens where the last 2 colours are black but one is a blue black
