Thank you so much Neil, it means a lot to me that you like it, I really admire your taste in jewelry! I'm glad I went with this ring too, I just felt I didn't know what I was doing picking out an expensive antique/vintage ring lol - and it does feel at home on my finger, I never realized what a flattering shape an oval is.
Luv2sparkle, a great big thank you, you really made my day! Yep, I agree with you, after seeing the Diana ring you just have to go big or go home! I really like the size of this ring, it's substantial but doesn't overpower my hand. And as much as I love diamonds, I really wanted a gemstone ring for something a bit different. (of course, it had to have diamonds too! lol)
Thank you maryjane04! Yes, my inspiration for this ring was Diana's ering! It's so funny, for many years I felt neutral about her ring -didn't love it, didn't hate it. But then it was given new life by Kate, and she gets so much media attention that the ring is always popping up in pics. I started thinking that it was actually a really pretty style and looked very elegant on the hand. Funny how our tastes change over time!
Thanks Rena! Today I wore it while I was in my pajamas My husband thinks I'm nuts!
Thank you CFCCD! I'm a little disappointed that the color doesn't translate that well, it's more lively than in the pics.
Thank you so much mom2boys, and thanks for your input in the other thread! It really did help to get others' thoughts and opinions, I'm grateful to everyone who participated.
I'm so glad you were reminded of Diana's ring MGR! That's the look I was hoping for - thank you for the nice words! I know it sounds odd, but I do feel ust a bit regal wearing it!
Acinom, thank you, you are always so nice and supportive! Thank you for sharing in my excitement, and I will post more pics!
Missy!!!! How sweet of you to stop by and comment, you are such a sweetheart! Thank you so much for the very kind words and well wishes! It means so much to me, you are so thoughtful!
Thank for the compliments and for taking the time to comment canadagirl, Laila, sarahb, lioness, Scarlett1, Iknvrb4, Sandycheeks, kathley, Mayk, lambskin, and marcy I'm overwhelmed and so appreciative, seriously!
Yenny, I agree, I wore it for the past 2 days with jeans and a casual top and it felt fine! Thank you!
Thanks so much Enerchi! Yep, grocery shopping is a drag, might as well have something pretty to look at!
Sharon, thank you for stopping by for another look - I'm really glad you like it!
LOL mochiko42! I like the color of my sapphire better too! Thank you!
Thanks KristinTech! I like the profile too, it sits low on the hand and is really comfortable.
Thank you misskittycat! I think this is a very timeless look too - I found so many examples of this ring dating back 60-70 years, and even further.
Thank you for the compliment Rubies R Me! I have a few plain bands that look nice with it too, so it will be fun to mix and match. I might even have to pick up a few more!
Thank you derbygal, I'm glad you like this style! I have to admit, I am so happy that people seem to like and appreciate this type of ring!
Jimmianne, thank you for your nice comments! This is my first gemstone ring, and I'm really enjoying the beautiful blue color - and the sparkly diamonds too, of course!
Junebug, you may have to post some more pictures because I really can't get enough of your ring. It looks so perfect on your hand and everything about it is just right. I could look at it all day.
Thanks Rosebloom!!! I'm having a blast wearing it!
Thank you so much woofmama! I am sincerely pleased that you like it, it is so wonderful to get such positive feedback!
Luv2sparkle, Thank you so much, it makes me feel great that you appreciate and like this style of ring so much! To be honest, I'm enjoying this ring even more than I thought I would haha! The proportions are just right. I will definitely post some more pics!
Thank you for looking and commenting Catmom, so glad you think it looks good!
This has been a crazy busy summer and I am behind on these threads! So I am sorry for the delayed response!
Sapphires are my favorite colored gemstones and your new ring is just beautiful! I got a ring like that years ago, but unfortunately the sapphire is not nearly as pretty as yours because it is dark. Thankfully I have learned about good sapphires since then! I think it was a great choice!!!
Thank you for taking another peek luv2sparkle and woofmama!!! I'm glad there's some love for this style of ring lol
Thank you DS, I'm glad you like what I finally decided on! I'm a bit frustrated because the color of the sapphire changed a little in the pics when I uploaded them onto PS - it's not as navy IRL. The 3rd pic shows the true color a bit better.
I was a little nervous this style would look a bit dated or something, but I don't feel that way at all when I wear it - in fact, I like the slightly retro feel, it's fun and different!
Thanks tyty333 - there is something kind of regal about it! I know some people aren't too crazy about the Diana ring, but I'm enjoying it.
Thanks a lot DF and raynay111! Glad you like the color raynay, it is a bit on the dark side I suppose, but still shows a beautiful blue and looks nice against the diamonds.
Thank you for taking another look derbygal, you made my day!
My dear Junebug, i've been taking a break from PS lately but how could i not comment on this GORGEOUS ring?
I love the color of the sapphire, i love the cotrast with the white diamonds, the proportions of the stones, the way you have combined it with that beautiful thin band and last but not least, the way it looks on your beautiful slim fingers Seriously, i need to get such a ring for myself! I hadn't realized what a great style this is Huge congrats
