There''s been a lot of blue sapphire threads on the board lately....is there room for one more?

''Wow'' is all I can say: yours is the definition of diamond encrusted. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for the profile picture.
Thanks Chrono...he did manage to squeeze quite a few in there, huh? 1.04 carats to be exact! What I can''t capture in the pictures is the shimmer of the single cuts, they are amazing! I think my last picture shows best what my eyes actually see, some of the pictures make it look a little chunky but it''s actually really delicate.

Thanks LTP - I agree, squeezing some more pave in there might have been a touch too much!

Wow!

It looks gorgeous on your finger! At first, I was afraid it might overpower anyone''s hand, but, as you said, it is quite delicate in reality. Congratulations on a beautiful ring.

Good Golly! That is the most beautiful sapphire ring I have ever seen!!!! if you don''t mind me asking where the orginal stone come from? You said it was a re-cut by Jeff, but I didn''t read where you orginally bought it.

LOVELY!

Thank you Lady Disdain and Sarah - I know it''s pretty blingy but what the heck, you only live once!

Sarah - Jeff sourced the original stone, I had the option to take it in the original native cut, have it completely re-cut or have the pavilion re-cut to retain as much size as I could...I went for size!

That ring is out of this world gorgeous! If anyone deserved to be thrilled with the final outcome, it''s YOU!!! After all the setbacks you went through, I was so hoping you would LOVE it when you finally received it back from Leon. We all love it! Right up there in the favorite category!
The stone looks bluer than even before it was set! Those special diamonds enhance the colour and the overall look is fabulous. You have such an original design with the three way split shank and the V underside. His first ring came out really nice but not that original in design, but this version- the DB ring- is so perfect.
DianaB- wear it in good health and enjoy it . Let it brighten your days everytime you look at it! I am so very happy for you!
