Hi all! After lurking for a while, I want to throw myself on your collective wisdom: black diamond or blue diamond accent stones for a ring with a dark sapphire as the centre stone?
I'm in the process of having an idiosyncratic sapphire set into a ring by a local jeweller. The centre stone is a dark teal parti-colour sapphire (8.8x6.6mm and the rock is 6mm deep so it's a bit of a chonk). The gemstone is *dark* -- that's not a problem, I love it for what it is, but I'm not sure how to set it off to best advantage. The ring is going to look something like this, in 14K yellow gold with short double-claw prongs:
We'd planned the accent stones to be black diamonds (as pictured). But I came across a totally different sapphire ring that had blue diamond accents and now I'm waffling. Thoughts? I'd like to be able to wear this everyday, so nothing that would come across as too dressy, and I'd rather not have colourless diamonds for this one. Blue or black diamonds? Or are there other options I should consider?
