I just got a (very expensive) idea

[RRfromR]

What do you think? But then I'd have to get another pair of old cut earrings and they are sooo $$$$$$. Sapphire is 2.82 ct, diamonds are 5.5 mm each.

 

[Mrsz1ppy]

Yummers! I’d do it, and get the earrings when you can. That sapphire is much harder to find than old cut earrings.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Do it!!!!!! It’ll look fabulous and be worth every penny. I splurged on the setting for my blue and am glad I treated myself to exactly what I wanted.

If you are going to have endless hours enjoying this, do it!

And then get the earnings in your own time.

A gorgeous and classic pairing. The real pain is how expensive settings are these days!

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

I love it, I'm desperate for a sapphire three stone myself someday. Yes!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Most antiques seem to set elongated stones N-S that’s I’ve seen. Not that it matters. Would you go E-W?

@Dreamer_D that's a good point. I just shoved it randomly between the diamonds, not a lot of thought put into it. I got inspired by this post - my sapphire is smaller however the diamonds are larger. I need to get a quote on the setting.

I have a solution for you - I’ll take that sapphire off your hands and that way you won’t have to deal with setting it.

@Avondale lol. It's certified ceylon unheated. On the bright side, I always always sell at cost because of work circumstances - I have to disclose all my financial info.

Girl, if I were in your shoes, I’d never give it up. Make it into a gorgeous ring and make the entire rest of the world green with envy.

Go for it!!! You'll have an absolutely amazing three stone!!

Slight dissenting voice here - while the 3 stone would look gorgeous because the sapphire is UNREAL, I also wouldn’t want to give up my solitaire earrings. Unless you have another pair of studs, I’d source another pair of side stones first! Also, I feel like the sides are a bit too big for the central sapphire, I’d like perhaps ~5mm instead of 5.5. A three stone is a lovely classic for sure though!

 

[LilAlex]

I love the idea -- but I'm kinda biased. This is a 3-ct sapphire with ~ 0.55 - 0.6 ct OMC sides.

 

[RRfromR]

@AllAboardTheBlingTrain hmm I have another pair of studs that I never wear. With those, smaller

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Do you love love love this sapphire? If it’s your dream sapphire, make sure you use the exact diamonds you want, in the size that you want.

But if it’s a ring that you’re looking to add to the collection to wear, the smaller studs look nice enough imo!

If you want to see E/W of a @9x7.2mm with 4mm sides, here you go!

I like the proportions with the EW sapphire and these smaller studs, FWIW! I think it would be a great use of them too!

 

[newtojewels]

I like the proportions with the new studs too, especially east-west. Great use of stones you never wear, as long as in-person you think they're nice enough to be worthy of your lovely sapphire!

Are these yours? It’s a fabuolous stack.

@newtojewels they are cute. My (now) mother-in-law gifted them to me from Tiffany when I graduated college, but they are in white gold and can't wear them because of severe nickel allergy.

If they are branded Tiffany, I’m not sure you’d want to pull them apart - would you consider selling them, and using the funds to purchase side stones? You’d likely get much more for them than unbranded earrings and you can put those funds into whatever side stones you wish.

 

[Dreamer_D]

I like the bigger side stone personally

Have Tiffany reset them for you in another metal. They did this for me.

I like the larger stones as well.

Thank you!
Yes, my everyday driver.

I think set EW with either of the sides would be lovely!

Here’s mine (7 x 6mm with 4.5mm sides) to give you an idea of proportions!
