@lilmosun thank you so much!
@sparkle_snail Aww thank you! That is very sweet to say & might I add that I too enjoy watching my collection grow haha
& You know what, it's on my to do list but I just haven't yet!
When I joined PS I knew quite a bit about gemstones and rocks but more about identification and less about fine gems and treatments, quality, etc...so now that I know what I know my educated guess would be that it's indeed an antique synthetic sapphire as it has that tell-all curved color banding that is usually a good sign of synthetic.
It's set in platinum with natural diamonds and it's very sentimental to me as I grew up watching my mother wear it so it'll be my one synthetic piece of jewelry
@SomethingNew Thank you very much! It does have a very classic feel about it!
@Hivona Aww thank you! I've admired his work for a while now, so I'm elated to be able to purchase this gorgeous little sapphire. & I'm totally drawn to every CS emerald that's well cut but it's hard for me to find an emerald cut diamond that I salivate just as easily for!
@peacechick Oh wow, the imagery you created in my mind with your words is lovely! Blue sapphire dreams! I'm going to use that, Planes of blue light that lead into another dimension!
@Adam95 Thank you for the suggestion but I'm afraid that voces idea is very "voce" and not very "me" if you know what I mean. She usually incorporates multiple colored stones Into her pieces which look like works of art where as I am drawn to more clean, simple, or classic designs.
Maybe one day I'll live wildly and make the jump to something unexpected but I feel as though this sapphire is begging to be a solitaire or accompanied by one kind of accent stone!
