Ooh beautiful! May I ask the dimensions of your pink sapphire halo ring? Is the center stone 10x8? And what is your finger size?

Absolutely. The pink sapphire is 11.22x8.4 and the halo diamonds are 3.2mm each. The ring definitely has presence on my hand and I was worried it would be too big but apparently I’m a true PSer because I had no problem with the size once I put it on. :mrgreen: Oh, and my finger size is 4.75.

5.05 unheated Sri Lankan sapphire surrounded by 1.75 halo in 18K. My only sapphire but I wear her every day as my e-ring. I did change the prongs to be a smidge thicker as some PS'rs suggested when I first got her. thumbnail_IMG_5828.jpg thumbnail_IMG_5828.jpg IMG_5901.PNG

I have a few, all from my Grand Mother. My avatar that I had reset in a new custom setting, an oval sapphire,7 carats set in 18kt gold and silver with diamonds, a small oval set- in platinum with diamonds either Edwardian or Art Deco, an 18 kt. 20221001_194440.jpg eternity band, and a small sapphire set in 18kt gold with enamel, pearls and diamonds. These are what I have in ring form. I only wear the avatar and the oval 18kt.The others sit in our safe. I will pass them on to my daughters and Grand Daughters. The small sapphire in platinum is smaller than what I love on my hand. The eternity band is very large in diameter and too big for me to wear. The enamel ring is just not my cup of tea. 20221001_202126.jpg 20221001_202241.jpg 20221001_202303.jpg 20221001_202442.jpg 20221001_202450.jpg 20221001_193933 (1).jpg

I love enamel pieces!

Ack, I love this thread! I have way too many sapphires and not enough settings! Here is my 2.54 CT unheated Burma sapphire, which I just can't decide how to set it.

My .94 CT Sri Lanka cornflower blue, who I'm thinking of setting with warm old cut diamonds.

And my 3.65 unheated Madagascar purple, who just arrived today from that notorious bastion of glamour, Pawn America! I'm still wondering if I like this setting or not, but the sapphire is a winner. She's much flashier in real life

The beauty in the middle.....do you know very much about it? I have one in a similar style at my jewelers getting resized. It was huge but has two dates on the inside: 1888 and 1898. 773138-c18f5d89fae1f0ba5afcf7a2004ab5b5.jpg

Oh wow, that looks a bit like this one! Mine is allegedly from the late 1800s, and the original owner was Austro-Hungarian. Mine is marked with a star of David with a T on the inside, which I haven't been able to find online. You'll have to post your hallmarks when you get it back!

It's amazing that rings back then didn't have to be huge to be beautiful.

Hey, if this thread is making the rounds again, I could add my other baby sapphire to it. DSC00212.jpg

Seeing this ring again makes me so happy! Looking gorgeous.
