#TBT Sapphire halo ring! (heirloom earring conversion)

[AllThingsSparkling]

Hi ladies and gents,
I just wanted to share this ring that I had made from one of my DHs grandmother's earrings. Im so happy with how it turned out! I dont know too much about the stones unfortunately, but the diamonds are very bright and crispy and the I love the shade of navy as well as the proportions. I have always wanted a ring like this and was so excited and grateful when my MIL gave this to me. My husbands grandmother was a very glamorous, elegant woman with an amazing jewelry collection. Im proud to have this piece! I dont think I'll just save it for cocktail occasions, I want to wear it all the time! I think its jusssssst on the line of not too big for my office and navy is my color yay! Considering I also picked up my WF ACA studs from FedEx yesterday, this has been a great week of sparkle treats in the midst of this dreary February <3

Most importantly, pics:


Fun with flash:


Before it was set !


AND it matches this set I have (also a gift from my lovely MIL)

I love this ring on you. It's a very dramatic and striking ring. And yes, elegant. You should wear it every day if you want to because it looks beautiful on you and I love that it is from a loved one.

Oooooh! Beautiful, thanks for sharing! What a gorgeous color that sapphire is. I adore the deep blue sapphire colors and I love how they match everything. The ring is just stunning

Very Princess Di, indeed! They did a great job on that lovely ring, and how nice to have that family connection.

I love this -- it looks great on you... it's amazing how it can be so large, yet understated at the same time. Just gorgeous!

THanks Its really just on the cusp of daily-wearable. Its the exact width of that ring finger, but no more!

What a great idea! Your ring is beautiful & im sure your MILs will be too.

yes, I am so curious to see hers with the yellow band! shes a tiny lady so Im sure itll look REALLY huge on her!

We got our tin type portrait taken this weekend for our anniversary (so cool, with equipment from 1800s) and I loooove how the ring looks in it.

 

[Acinom]

What a stunning ring! A great everday signature ring. Enjoy wearing your beauty.

This is so beautiful - it’s a much better, more elegant version of the Di/Kate ring

Youre so sweet! My mom said the same thing, and added that I am prettier than Kate too! LOL! I got a hearty laugh out of that.

This is so freaking cool!! I love the way your hand looks so relaxed with that huge sapphire... as if to say, "...whatever... I'm just gonna wear this rock and chill."
