DW acquired her yellow sapphire pendant about a year ago and has been looking for a matching ring ever since. Recently Amy at DKJ put us in touch with a vendor who had made an estate purchase of just such ring. When we first went to see the ring DW's reaction was "Wow, it's incredibly beautiful, but I could never wear anything that big!".

We went back later in the day for a second look and the ring seemed to have shrunk some. DW grew more interested, but we had trouble taking photos because the sapphire reflected so much light, all that showed up on camera was a white blob. I took this photo of the ring on the vendor's hand with her other hand shading the stone from the overhead lights.

We thought about it overnight and I was able to research yellow sapphire pricing. The stone came with an AGL cert stating Ceylon, heat only, and the ring was definitely fairly priced. So we we went back the next day and, believe it or not, the ring had shrunk a whole more. DW tried it on under the lights, and outside in the sunshine, and the stone just sparkled continuously, almost like a diamond only bigger :)) I don't know if this gemstone shrinking thing is a common phenomenon with PSers, but it certainly happened to us :) Of course DW went home with the ring!

The ring comes with a halo of marquise diamonds set in an interesting pattern I don't recall seeing here before. Here are a few photos:

OMFG I am speechless. It's just lovely! I envy your DW's jewelry collection SO MUCH!

PS. I planned a trip to palm springs in August for some relaxation and lots of estate jewelry shopping :)
 
OMG!!!! I don’t have the vocabulary to comment on such a ring. I would totally wear that ring. I love the halo of marquise diamonds
 
Gorgeous! You and DW made the right decision, I think! :mrgreen2:
 
That is magnificent! :dance:

Once you get used to this size, everything else pales in comparison and you would want to go bigger.
 
Absolutely beautiful. The stone positively glows and the setting is unique and gorgeous. Large and in charge. Just how I love them! I hope your DW wears this beauty in much love, happiness and sunshine!

It’s stunning! I think it will look great as a pendant too. Reminds me of the huge yellow diamond pendant that Lady Gaga wore. Your wife has such gorgeous stuff :appl:

Thank you @lovedogs You'll have a great time in Palm Springs, and there's lots to do if you can ever tear yourself away from the jewelry stores. ;)2 However be prepared for the summer heat, you can expect daytime temps above 100°F and maybe as high as 110°F :-o We went last year about this time and by the third day we were desperate for some relief, so headed out to the aerial tram that whisks you to the top of a mountain and a 20°F lower temperature. Well, every other tourist in the Coachella Valley had the same idea, and there was a four hour wait! :eek2: We found the piece in my avatar on that trip!

Absolutely agree with AV on this. Just jeans white shirt and huge bling bling like this, like your sun. Here comes the sun:kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2:.

I didn't think of this, but @ChaiK you are right. I'm in big trouble now. :eek2::eek2::eek2:
 
A great, dramatic and bold ring! Love the yellow ness of it. Just makes happy seeing it. Awesome purchase!

lol yeah, I'm used to the heat since it's only about 10 degrees cooler where I am. Yuck! And I definitely plan to use the tram as well and hike at the top. yay!

Thank you @icy_jade The ring does color match DW's pendant really well:

The ring is actually much bigger than the pendant, and we briefly discussed switching them. However we decided against it. DW is very comfortable wearing the pendant on less dressy occasions. Whereas the ring is something special, and we definitely want to keep it that way, and not mess it up trying to convert it!
 
What a stunning ring!! It looks perfect on her, it's the perfect sunny shade of yellow and well cut as well!

I like this and will mention to DW, making sure she knows it's not my idea =)2

My own suggestions as to what to wear with what invariably produce that "look" telling me I'm way out of my depth, and have crossed into territory I definitely don't belong. :lol-2:
 
Wow, this ring is such a fantastic statement piece! Gorgeous color!

We don't know who cut the stone but they certainly did a great job. DW can hold her hand inside a cupboard and the ring still sparkles! I know a little about diamond cut from the RT forum but nothing about CS cutting. I just know this stone has a lot of facets, maybe it's a "precision" cut? AGL describe the cut as "Modified Mixed Cut". Here's a copy of their Accu-Vu image
