Diamonds and sapphire: 18 years to get it right

[whitewave]

I’ve been looking for a diamond and sapphire ring for 18 years. I never found one I liked. Pricescope taught me that this was a blessing as I finally used my knowledge to do it right the first time.

This ring is a true pricescope project. The sapphire is by Gary at Finewater Gems, recommended and found on the colored stones board. The diamonds are Crafted by Infinity, sold by High Performance Diamonds with Wink, Melissa and Jamie on the team.

The sapphire is 1.64 heated, medium blue with violet undertones from Sri Lanka.

The diamonds are: .56 G SI2 and .57 F SI1

The setting is a 2.5mm wide platinum trellis done by the luxe bench for High Performance Diamonds.

I’ll have more glamour shots on Monday and I’ll have it on Tuesday!!!

Thanks, I’m riddled with anticipation for Tuesday!! When I saw the first pics, I did a loud inhale and then sort of screamed a little lol.

It’s perfect.

Wow - stunning ring. I've also been looking at sapphire rings for years. Some day....... - your ring is beautiful, enjoy it in good health and happiness.

 

[whitewave]

@suzanne thank you!! I agree
@Stone Hunter thank you!

@lynahs1295 thank you. I can’t wait to wear it and have some joy in my grief.

 

[whitewave]

@canuk-gal I agree. I’m glad I never settled. This is worth the wait.

@Queenie60 I bought it piece by piece. Wore the .56 as a right hand solitaire for a while and the sapphire sat in the safe. The .57 was purchased to make the ring. Take your time. It will be gorgeous

 

[Wewechew]

It’s PERFECT! That sapphire is to die for

 

[stonewell]

She’s absolutely gorgeous, @whitewave!! It looks to me that your patience paid off - it’s a beautiful classic design, the sapphire is amazing and those CBIs are drop dead gorgeous. Congratulations!

Oh my golly gosh, what a beautiful ring! I don't tend to really be that into sapphires but that is a really beautiful sapphire! Such colour change! Wow. Striking. Lovely setting too!

And two CBI diamonds. Dying here. Argh!

How are you coping? Tuesday is ages away!

I'm in love with the colour of the sapphire! Absolutely stunning ring.

 

[sledge]

Wow @whitewave just wow . The ring looks absolutely amazing!!! I freakin' love love LOVE the sapphire! . But kind of like blondes, I'm such a sucker for them. I contemplated a sapphire center stone and diamond halo for my fiances e-ring but she wasn't as game as I was.

Job well done to the entire team. CBI diamonds, killer sapphire and the setting looks so eloquent too. Congrats, it was 18 years of good waiting and dreaming merged into pure reality awesomeness!

 

[ladyonthelake]

That color though!!!

Cant wait to see more pics when you get it!

 

[mrs-b]

You really DID get it right! Congratulations on your lovely new piece!
