With the help of this site, I have chosen a beautiful Ideal J/SI1 1.12 RB with med blue flour. to be the center stone in this setting from James Allen.

I am upgrading the sapphires and awaiting their arrival. Today I looked again at the same ring with diamond sides and thought maybe it would be more practical for everyday wear. This is going to be a 10 year anniversary ring that I will wear on my right hand. I love the color blue, but I am begining to wonder if I will regret the blue for everyday. I am also concerned that if I switch to diamonds that the J will not look as nice. Any advise would be appreciated.

Here''s the all diamond ring.

Thanks,
Amanda

Luckily, jewelry is one of those things that doesn't necessarily have to be practical! A lot of people have sapphires in the rings they wear daily and they don't cause any problems. Personally, I love the blue stones in that setting. I think they really set off the center stone and give the ring a unique look.

For a right hand ring I think sapphires are gorgeous w/your diamond. I have a friend w/a sapphire right hand ring and she wears it all the time; I love her sapphires just my 2 cents.

I think that diamond and sapphire ring is beautiful. I like it much better than the plain diamond. I''m biased in that I love blue. I wear a diamond and sapphire (cabachon) ring on my right hand frequently (almost every day lately) and I don''t feel it clashes with anything. I say stick with your original decision. In fact, I want that ring now.

Amanda, I have a 3 stone wedding ring w/ a diamond center and sapphires on the sides.

When my DH and I were designing it, I did wonder a bit about the blue clashing but quite honestly, now that I have it and have worn it every day for 5 years, I can tell you that I never give it a thought! Once he put it on my finger that night, it was love at first site and I can''t imagine ever looking down and seeing anything different on my finger!

You will love it!

I like the sapphire sides. Diamonds and blue sapphires are such a classic choice I don''t think that you''ll regret it.
