Woooooooow!
First, the sapphire looks like candy and I want to eat it. Is this weird? Yes. It is also the highest praise I can give as I only want to eat the most delicious of gems!
Second, that engraving. It is pristine. Spectacular.
Third, the whole package is just amazing. It looks like something you’d find in a hidden treasure chest!

congrats and thanks for sharing!

Unbelievably beautiful, perfect, silky and glowing blue. To say I love it is an understatement. Can't believe you aren't a gem expert given the one you picked!

What a wonderful compliment!!! I totally get what you are saying…I keep thinking it looks like blueberry candy!

I am so grateful for how everything came out…DK knocked it out of the park!

In case it’s helpful for other sapphire shoppers…color changes so much with lighting! Do not get dismayed if you see a vivid color go flatter in low lighting! They key is, does it go grey?

Even in poorer lighting conditions, the color shouldn’t be totally drained…

Wow it's beautiful! Congrats! I love how magical it is.

I actually prefer your hand shots to DK's glamour shots, as the ring appears even more intricate and antique-y in the natural light. It looks so comfy and natural on your finger, too. Such a perfect project.

Thank you! I actually agree. I think the staged lighting washed the stone out, too.

It is incredibly comfortable! I was worried the engraving might be scratchy, but not at all. I’m a smitten kitten!

Well, the patina is rapidly sloughing off! I’m not worried or upset really, just mentioning it in case someone else has their heart set on it!

I also clean my rings regularly with Dawn and Windex in a solution with boiling water. That might be the issue, but I’d rather have clean rings, as I’m rather fastidious about hygiene.

There might be a more permanent treatment for platinum, but I don’t care enough to pursue it at the moment, but might in the future. I’m still obsessed with my ring and have worn it everyday since getting it! 8D32EC6B-061F-46E9-8EF3-EAD3C9F9827A.jpeg
