Should I wait till my b-day or open it now?!

[MustangFan]

I got the sapphires today!!!

But should I open them now and inspect that they are to my liking or wait till sunday?

It's best to open them now and inspect them / view them in various lighting. If you wait until Sunday, it cuts down your return period window.

ETA
I do understand that it's more fun and exciting to wait to open them up on your birthday though.

 

[Kismet]

Open them now! And then take pictures and report back.

 

[Kaleigh]

blurry pic of my e-ring center stone on a Harley Davidson!

 

[MustangFan]

SDL,
Thank you! like you I''m a big deep velvety blue person!

center stone is 3.17 carats
the exact dimension if you are curious are 9.8 x 7.8 x 5.5mm
the setting is being made, almost 4.5 months ago to be exact!!! I''m dying over here, she needs to hurry it up!!

 

[Catmom]

MustangFan, they are simply divine!!! OMG, the ear pic is to die for, the stone looks like it is glowing on your ear. I just love the color and can't wait to see the finished version.

 

[kcoursolle]

Gorgeous, and they look like a very good match to your e-ring!!! What a lovely velvety color!! Now that you''ve purchased from simplysapphires, out of curiosity how well would you say the color in person matches to the picture from the vendor? I''m in the market for a sapphire as well and I''m not sure where to buy from.

 

[diamondfan]

WOW GORGEOUS! How did you take the ear photo with one hand?!!!!

 

[door knob solitaire]

Simply stunning! The depth of color is amazing. Now, you have had your fun...put them back in the box and don''t touch until you bday!

It will be love ALL over again.

Come on...can you do it?

DKS

I posted a picture from their site on the stones, it''s the big one with the haze. I think they are fairly accurate and they say they take 30 pictures to capture the nature of the stone, not to make it better, it''s believable, I''m very happy with them, and it was a great price I feel. I shopped around and didn''t find this color for the price. Simply Sapphire is alright in my books

Diamondfan- I am talented! I had to twist the camera around and look at the mirror, while pushing the button with my other hand! lol

 

[FireGoddess]

They are gorgeous MF! Looks like they will go perfectly with the ering stone!

 

[zoebartlett]

They are soooooooo pretty! Happy birthday!

 

[MustangFan]

SDL--

Unfortunately I felt funny taking a picture of the wax, so I didn''t. I have a hand drawn picture of the mounting, but that''s it not even a CAD

It has 7 pointer diamond pear sides with melee around them
The head of the sapphire will have a heart shape with a bezel set surprise sapphire in the middle
and a custom euro setting

I love your ring, you inspired me to look into the plain 3mm w-band I love your set so beautiful and classic

 

[Skippy123]

Happy Happy Pretty Blue Birthday

 

[monarch64]

MustangFan, they''re just beautiful stones, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Can''t wait to see how you end up setting those gorgeous things!
