Oooh now that is gorgeous! Please elaborate and update!
I don’t mean to derail but since you asked…
They are all sapphire. The pinks and purples are from Yvonne, 4mm pair of untreated purples and 3mm untreated hot pinks. The little 2mm pinks are heated. The center is my engagement sapphire, heated and about 6x5. I keep waffling about setting it at all as it’s not high quality, but in some lights I do like it. Perhaps I will replace it with a better stone for this layout, but the tone of the purple is a very good match for the sapphire and somehow it balances the ridiculous neon of the pinks. I would set this suite in a similar style setting you have here!
That picture is not showing the colors well. This is a bit better though it doesn’t capture the flash of the pinks in particular. The purples are not identical, one has a red and one a blue undertone, but it’s more apparent in pictures that real life and I’ve decided I don’t care as they are untreated natural gems.

I like everything about it and think you will have a tough time replacing that blue, since it is such a good fit.

For now I really want to see @Timor ring! How long will we have to wait![]()
Lovely! And it looks really nice on you Timor! It compliments your skintone beautifully. This ring makes me think of opening the freezer and finding gems in the ice box. In a good way!
Even I have had to make my peace with the tilt window! All my stones have them.
Stunning! Colorful, eminently wearable, oodles of style.
Great. I've just added another 'must have one day' to my list of wants. Can you share size info for the stones?
I'm thinking about a version with small bright sapphires or paraiba (2mm?) between the main stones, so fully CS.
Ooh that sounds beautiful! You must share when you get around to it!
I’m sorry I don’t have all the measurements, but the sapphire is 0.36ct and the emerald sides are around 3.8mm at 0.23ct each. Hope that helps!
What a refreshing combination of colors (earth and sky), and they're just the right shades too. This turned out splendidly and I'm so happy you're loving it! It's a piece you can really wear for any occasion... every day or a special night out. Enjoy!!
Oh I completely love this -- and missed most of the discussion somehow! And I love how the diamonds almost form hourglass motifs between the colored stones -- very cohesive!
And I agree with @Autumn in New England's earth/sky reference! A few years ago, I talked (wrote?) here about creating a ring to mimic a trail blaze we followed for days in a beautiful place -- and it was blue over green, like sky over land.
