I''m looking for some sapphire ring pics

[innerkitten]

I never thought finding a setting and a place to have my ring made would be so much trouble. I''m finally getting around to seting my unheated Burmese sapphire! Yay! However I''m having a hard time finding something thats just perfect. At first I wanted accent stones on the side but now I think I would like perhaps 2 point or 3 point tiny diamonds around the sapphire with a plain shank. I don''t know if this is considered cluster or halo or what. The stone is just over a carat. Any ideas or pics appreciated. Will I have to go custom?

settings can be so difficult can''t they?

I saw one like you are describing, I just have to remember the site...give me a couple minutes.

By the way, what shape is the stone?

 

[innerkitten]

Thanks for posting those. I needed some inspiration.
Yes, the first one is very close to what I was thinking of. ...but then the second one is really cool and I never would have even thought of a setting like that but who knows.I guess i just have to think about it for a while. Here is a pic of my stone. It''s an oval but it''s a native cut so it may not have perfect proportions.

And here is one outdoors. I like the indoor photo better though.

oh, innerkitten, the 2nd one! or something similar! you wouldn''t have to do all the diamonds all the way around down the sides.

I can''t link it, but try http://www.igorman.com/index1.html and then go to designers. Click on Ambar and a cushion sapphire with a halo should pop up. It''s not a plain shank, though.

ooooh, cool project. This is gypsy''s ring idea, but I think it''s killer.

 

[kcoursolle]

or how about something like this, it''s not a halo, but I love it.

me, too! i love the idea of good color stones not needing diamonds to make them appear larger or better....a good stone should be able to hold its own. but i do love the small side diamonds on this setting....subtle.

Hmmm all of those are really nice.
Movie Zombie, I also think the second one that Sophie posted, it's cool.
kcoursolle, yeah that one is really nice. I'm not totally sold on my original halo idea either.
Logan Sapphire, I remember you as meow collins! That ring is really close to what I was thinking of. I like that it's delicate. I'm an ectomorph and I think delicate stuff suits me.
Elmo, Thanks for posting the link to the natural sapphire Company. i hadn't thought of looking at the designs there.

Being a gemini I have a feeling it's going to be really hard to settle on an idea

...sigh

another ebay idea....

I have seen a saphire ring that is a more delicate version of the tiffany ribbon ring with the oval sapphire set east west... and it looked beautiful. Let me see if I can find a pic... here's the ribbon ring.

 

[Gypsy]

It was close to this... only well... a little more like the tiffany ribbon.

 

[innerkitten]

Gypsy that ribbon design is really cool. And your ring is totally stunning. Did you come up with the design yourself?

 

[innerkitten]

p.s. What site was the ribbon one from. I''d love to see it from a different angle.

~~Of all the settings, I like the first one that was posted, and the Tiffany ribbon one is pretty too!

This is sooo pretty!

G, I agree I love that ring!

SDL: you are looking even more radiant!!! Congrats on all your hard work, it shows!!!

 

[innerkitten]

I can''t do a setting like this cause it''s the wrong shape. But isn''t this a cute idea for a squarish stone.

Found it while looking for settings.

 

[treysar]

Your stone is my dream stone, and my dream setting would be a half moon diamond on either side.

*SWOON*

What ever you decide, I''m sure it will be gorgeous and I look forward to the result of your efforts!
