Apologies in advance that I am such a terrible photographer. My ring is beautiful and unfortunately the pictures don't do it justice. But I know how helpful it was when designing the ring to get ideas from here and look at the pictures, so here is my service to the community!

2.97ct heated elongated cushion sapphire
Bead set shank going 2/3 of the way around
Bezel set
Palladium
Size 5.75-6 finger

ETA: Oh, my heavens! I was trying to make the photo even smaller and now it's humongous! Am trying to fix and will try again.

Attempt #2

ETA: The bezel is actually much more delicate than it appears in this photo.

Here is a handshot. Ignore the awful looking sapphire, as it''s really camera/user error and not a problem with the stone!

Thanks, Canuk-gal and Stepcutgirl!

And just for fun, a little blast of fire!

By the way, the sapphire is a light blue and color shifts to a lavendery purple. The darker shots of the sapphire are not exactly accurate in terms of the color. Actually, none of them are but the first picture is closest to the color of my sapphire.

LostSapphire, Catmom, LovingDiamonds, Maisie, Trillionaire, Crasru, Tuckins1, D&T, Nataliesamaras, Marcyc, Cellentani, April20, Risingsun, Laila619, Luckyeshe, Bling-Addict, Upgradable, and Junebug17: THANK YOU! I''m glad y''all like it and have enough jewelry vision to see past my photographs as it truly is lovely in person.

Crasru: I''ll browse around to see if I can find some photos of other stones that are closer to what I see in real life as I can''t capture it on my camera. In sunlight it''s a light-medium blue, sort of like the color of the sky on a clear day. In fluorescent light it''s more of a steely blue. In halogens (I think the bulbs are halogens) it goes toward a more lavender type color with blue undertones.

Congratulations, very beautiful e-ring. I think that the stone looks great bezeled.

Thanks, BlackPaw and Tourmaline_Lover! I ended up going with the bezel for the long-term safety of the stone, but I love how it turned out.

Crasru: This picture from PrecisionGem is similar to the color of mine in fluorescent light (minus the dark needles).

This tanzanite from D&J more closely approximates the color of my sapphire in sunlight.
