Yogo sapphires

[CravingDiamonds]

I like the whit gold, but I am a white gold kinda person. I think your sapphires will look awesome in that setting. I can''t wait to see pictures of the finished product.

 

[FrekeChild]

White gold!!!

 

[bling addict]

Looks gorgeous!

I like the white gold too!

 

[stepcutnut]

That is going to be a really lovely ring! I really like the white gold, seems to make the sapphires ''pop''!

 

[mochi]

I really like the white gold. It''s going to be a beautiful addition to your already great collection!!

 

[icekid]

add me to the white gold list!

 

[Kismet]

Despite the overwhelming vote for white gold, I ended up going with yellow gold. I really liked the look of yellow gold, plus if I decided I didn''t like it after seeing it in person it would be easier to rhodium plate it than change white gold to yellow gold.

 

[stepcutnut]

Can''t wait to see it when it''s done!!!

 

[Stone Hunter]

WOW lovely CADs. I prefer the white gold BUT I already have a bezel set ring in yellow so that probably swayed me some.

 

[Kismet]

Nothing *too* exciting but here are pictures of the casting.

 

[Kismet]

And another.

 

[brandy_z28]

That is really going to be pretty! I vote white gold too!

 

[icekid]

Kismet- I know it''s just the casting, but that yellow gold looks so rich

It''s going to be so pretty.

 

[Kismet]

Brandy: heh, I already picked yellow gold as shown in the pictures.

icekid: Doesn''t it just though? It looks more like 24k than 18k gold.

 

[Kismet]

Yay! The ring is done. I think it came out really well. What do you think?

Very sumptuous

[Kismet]

Wow and it''s already at the fedex station. I wasn''t expecting it to arrive there until later for some reason.

 

[Fly Girl]

Awesome ring! So neat to know that you have Yugos. Looking forward to pictures/comments about how the different gradations in color were handled.

 

[cinnamon013]

KISMET! Go get it from Fedex and take some pictures! That is one awesome ring! I SUPER LOVE the yellow gold.

 

[geckodani]

OMG I love it!!! What a gorgeous design, the sapphires look great and those marquise are just droolworthy! Can''t wait to see more pics!!!!

 

[Stone Hunter]

WOW their photos are good. I can''t wait to see your photos and hand shots too!!

 

[Kismet]

Well I zipped over to FedEx at lunch to get my ring. It's absolutely gorgeous! I'm so glad I went with the yellow gold; it brings out a bit of violet in the sapphires.

Under fluorescent lights I can find the stone that shifted to violet but other that than I can't really see a huge variance in color. Under sunlight I couldn't really see a difference between them at all. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for pictures because, though my cell phone has a camera, I have no clue how to get pictures off the phone and onto the computer.

ETA: They certainly packed the ring well too. It was in a ring box, in a cardboard box wrapped in tissue paper, in a padded envelope, in a small fedex box, in a medium fedex box.

OMG It''s just stunning! Are you going to post pics in SMRT??? With handshots as well? The bezel work is impeccible!

I wanted those sapphires Kismet, and was going to do the exact same thing with them!

I''m now pondering something similar with some Spessarites. I LOVE your band. Hope you don''t mind if I copy it!

 

[Kismet]

I will definitely take pics once I get home! And of course I don''t mind if you do a similar (or the same) ring, Gypsy.

 

[Kismet]

Taken outside with the sun behind my hand.

 

[Kismet]

Same setting but from a bit farther away.

 

[Kismet]

This one was taken with my back to the sun. Apologies for the icky fingers.

 

[Kismet]

This one was taken with my back to the sun as well.

 

[Kismet]

This one was taken with me facing the sun but with my hand shading the ring.
