Thanks Bron, with you amazing pair I would not Be patient enough to wait for the lottery
These are stunning.
This is the setting I dream of for my pair (when I win the lottery probably)
I would say this is royal blue.It is so interesting to see what the different kinds of blue meant to different people. I guess that is why CS is so personal, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder! When I got mine I judged wanted an intense and gravitating color, I didn’t really know which blue it falls under... I guess I would describe it as medium true blue since it doesn’t really go dark? What do you think? The photo is taken under indoor natural light.
I was looking at charts and they all have different names!
So I’m still confused. Is there somewhere where the correct terminology with sample pics is posted?
I think sapphires change so much depending on the lighting. Sometimes I think mine is cornflower blue, but in some lighting, the shade of blue goes lighter, especially indoors. It never blacks out. The shade of blue just changes.

(Sorry my fingernails look gross in 3rd pic, I was selling cherries.)
Idk, it seems like it depends on lighting. I wanted a cornflower blue, which to me means a bright blue, but I think I ended up with medium blue? Maybe? It’s fun though... a new blue in every light. I visited the Pacific NW a while ago and it looked like my second picture the entire time. But, in direct sunlight it deepens and the velvety blue comes out.
Your sapphire is beautiful. Your second picture shows the blue that I consider cornflower blue in stock photos. The velvety blue is also trade ideal!
The picture you posted here, that gem also toes the line between cornflower and royal. However, when you follow the link and see the other photos of this gem, those look darker, so I think Dana Reynolds is right in calling it an intense royal blue. It probably only looks like the handshot in good lighting, so that perhaps most of the time it looks a darker royal blue instead of cornflower blue.This is a Montana from Dana Reynolds that I very nearly had shipped to me, and I think @stonewell had IRL for a bit before returning. The description says "denim blue", but is that the same as cornflower blue? It is a very intense blue hue (if I am using that term correctly?)

More of my pretty pair. Being just over 9mm each, too big for making into diamond halo studs.
Ahh Bron that is a bummer that they are too big to make into studs! They are gorgeous and if you ever do break them up, holla over the Tasman will ya?
But I definitely agree about not splitting them up, I honestly would have thought they came from the same piece of rough. Size and colour matching are sooo spot on with these guys!
OMG just had a heart attack.
Oh wow thanks @voce for thinking of me. This is quite pretty but I need to be good now (as per explanation on other thread). Mind you, I can see that the seller is located in Melbourne and also has a few other interesting stones... oh dear here I go down the rabbit hole
Jewelers in NYC can clearly wait for these baubles to sit in their inventory for 5-10 years before some rich person walks in and drops money into their laps. I must thank PS for educating me on how not to pay astronomical prices on jewellery/gemstones I like.
Haha well then in that case you had better be good! Set the sapphire you already have before you acquire any more! Otherwise, you'll be sitting on a pile of loose stones without having money to turn them into wearable pretties. My situation at the moment.Oh wow thanks @voce for thinking of me.

unheated. Nfs.
Heres mine, a medium blue from Ceylon. Color is hard because the color hue of cornflower can be tinted, shaded or more saturated, with the same color. which creates a range. It means a lot of things to different people. I never thought of mine as cornflower because when it reflects light, it can shift in hue and in lightness (tint). When I imagine the cornflower color, I imagine not the darkest blue, more medium with a touch of lavender in it, without green, like the flower.
Thankyou, Missy. Those are some amazing earrings you have too!Stunning ring @Bluegemz.
Not sure what blue color the sapphires are considered in this antique diamond and sapphire earring pair I love They are medium blue IRL so too dark to be cornflower blue I think.
Thank you! I love how sapphires change colors and how they have their own characters!
...can I be your daughter too?
This sapphire pendant which I recently gifted to my eldest daughter ( as a going gift before she studies overseas for a year) is more cornflower blue in my interpretation than my ring, but still not cornflower.
It’s a story...I got the pendant in Rome in 2000 when I was pregnant with her, before I knew, so I felt that it would be fitting to give it to her for this period of transition into adulthood.Thank you! I love how sapphires change colors and how they have their own characters!
