These are my HG stones. The unheated violet sapphire ring from NKOTB is so sparkly in real life and is my favourite ring. It looks good to me in all lighting! It shifts from purplish blue to a lovely purple indoors. It is only 1.60 ct but faces up a lot bigger I think!
The unheated purple sapphire is 1.71ct and is from Gary. It will be going into a WG Stuller setting with the help of a friend! :) It shifts from a bluish purple to a pinky purple indoors! I adore both and will post pics of the purple sapphire once it is set which will be soon!
These are my last gem purchases of the year and I am totally satisfied!

Lovely sapphires! Can't wait to see the color shift sapphire after it is set- I am sure the ring will be lovely.

Gorgeous stone and setting. I am a huge fan of these colors. Enjoy wearing them and I am looking forward seeing the oval in the Stuller setting

Those are lovely, ILG! And how often can we say: "these are my last gem purchases of the year and I am totally satisfied!" and mean it? How awesome is that?!! :lol:

Thank you Lisa, Acinom and Stone Hunter!
Minou, thank you! I truly do feel that way, like this is it! I have come full circle to what I was originally looking for way back which was a colour change sapphire.

Indigo, thanks for the compliment. I LOVE your big blue sapphire! I love quite a few of the ones you found on your search!

Thanks Aussiejamie and Lovesvintage! The ring hasn't left my finger since. The bright purple colour makes me so happy! It is like a little sun on my hands. :D

Thank you Elle and Mariedtiger! It is basically staying on my finger night and day like my e ring on my other hand. Am not a wearing any YG or RG these days because of it which is a bit weird but I just can't take it off! My other hand has my e ring and a gorgeous Portuguese cut periwinkle blue sapphire ring! ;-)
