The first thing I noticed are that all the reviews are by the same person on the same date... Looks like a scam seller to me.

Oh god I didn’t notice that. Damn. I love the color of that stone! I think I’m opening up to different styles though.

Yes, the style is beautiful - I love it too. Looks like you are maybe starting to appreciate the slightly lighter sapphires too?

If I may say so - it sounds like your tastes are still evolving as you learn more and more. I am in the same position. It is a fun journey if you don't rush it :)

I really enjoy that bright, glowing blue. Almost like a spinel? But I realize spinels are completely out of my budget. LOL.

Completely different than anything I’ve been looking at, but this is beautiful. I love how warm the stone is.

I actually really like this one. It suits you and your sunflower state name.

I like that price tag and it's negotiable! You can put in an offer say 5-20% less than the asking price? I have never bought from 1stDibs though.

Pretty! Also I did find this, the stone is lab but the setting is diamond...for the price it's a lot of bang!

Do you all think this would hold up to daily wear?

It should be fine for daily wear, but it's a "loud" ring. Very different than what you started looking for initially. Would you be happy with a multicolor ring years from now or regret not getting the traditional look? I think the traditional style will be a good choice for longevity for wearability, but don't know that I can say that about the other, but it depends on your personal style.

Smaller than you want, but very in budget and a pretty blue:

Perhaps you are now in the market for two rings .....

This is how it starts ....

I can’t remember is I ever posted the reddit link for the gemstone group. These guys are all small lapidaires. You can send the moderator Lindsey u/earlysong a note and let her know what you are looking for. They can do a search for you and they will help you find a lab or natural quality stone. I bought my aquamarine, a tourmaline and some small violet blue sapphires for a station necklace from them.


I also second both Bryan from Stag and Fitch and Ouros Jewels on etsy for small lab diamonds if you want to put a ring together. He also cuts and sells side stones in any shape.

Oh I LOVE that sapphire. The diamonds are so bright as well. You’re right, that’s a hell of a deal! I just reached out about seeing a video. Fingers crossed- it’s beautiful!! ❤️

Which would make me so happy, LOL. I love that it’s actual diamonds around the sapphire (I know they’re lab) and not moissanite. I love moissanite, but this is a piece where I would prefer to only have white flashes and not rainbow :) I’ll let my moissy solitare have all the fun!

I also wanted your all’s opinion on this big beauty. I’ve been looking at it for a couple weeks and I really like it. I realize it’s completely different than what I was initially looking for, but I love the size and that buttery color. Am I crazy for loving this??

It's big, it's fun and it's in your face. :mrgreen: If you check out my ring is done thread the spinel set in my avatar was made by Julia who also owns Classique which is also in my ring. I love the work she did for me.

Alright y’all, the search continues. I’ve decided I definitely want a sapphire and other sparkles can wait. :) Any thoughts on this one? They sent me a video and it’s quite striking!

It's going to be a petite stone. It doesn't have the measurements of the stone but with the weight of it it's going to be a fairly petite sapphire.

With the carat weight of the diamonds it's going to overall have a much more delicate look than some of the things you've looked at.

Yes, it is quite petite. I wish I could upload the video they sent me but I’m on my phone and don’t know how. The sapphire has a lovely hue and the diamonds are beautiful. But yes, it’s definitely smaller, but I think it would be quite the sparkler!

I haven’t found the one yet. Jocelyn has not responded to me on Instagram or Etsy. This is a beautiful piece, I will look into it further. Thank you for thinking of me!

Contact her on Instagram. She responds immediately usually.
