My AIGS Unheated Hot Pink Sapphire from Tan

[Jeweljunke]

Love sharing. So... here is my AIGS certified 2.10 ct Unheated Hot Pink Sapphire from Tan, that i bought from him in 2010. I don't have his vendor photos, but they were not any different than the stone in person or the photos I took. Here ya go...

Very nice!

 

[athenaworth]

Wow, that's gorgeous!

 

[bright ice]

Beautiful ring and a lovely color!

 

[minousbijoux]

Good for you! For an unheated sapphire, that is a knockout (and I understand much sought after) color! You did an excellent job setting it as well. Really, really pretty. I may be starting to like halos after all

 

[colorluvr]

Beautiful color and unheated to boot! A huge congratulations.

 

[Coco914]

Wow....what a gorgeous shade of pink! I love the trillion setting you chose, too. Nicely done!

 

[Jeweljunke]

Thank you guys. Aside from my wedding set, it is my favorite ring. The color is amazing. I really wanted to a save the video Tan did of it, but could not figure out how. I do have his photo, but on my iPad. I guess I could email it to myself to get it on my pc, then I could post it. I'll try that.

Wow that's just beautiful! I'm starting to like these trillions...

Beautiful color! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Enerchi]

Beautiful ring! Great setting, great stone shape, love the colour... a triple threat! It is just gorgeous!

 

[anythingorange]

Very pretty! Unbelievable color, especially for an unheated stone. (Great photos, too!)

 

[LD]

Stunning. That's one of my favourite colours for sapphire.

I love the colour, and you don't see too many trillion haloes! Really pretty setting. I like the twist. Hand shots?

 

[Jeweljunke]

The dreaded hand shots. Why didn't I have this kind of jewelry when I was 20 years old instead of an old lady with short dry hands. Yes...my hand were little even when I was young, but they were alot thinner and softer. Please excuse the old lady dry hands. You asked for it:

LOL - from one "old lady hands to another", but truthfully, I don't think your hands look old, they look like baby hands next to mine.... but then all I see is that fantastic sapphire! BTW, we didn't have this kind of jewelry when we were young with pretty hands because we couldn't afford it then (or at least I couldnt'). I have a sapphire that is a very similar color (I need to post some photos) but mine is heated (AGL - heat only), so yours is a much bigger "find"!!!

I can't tell you how many pretty good photos I've gotten of rings on my hand, and my hands look soooo bad in some of them, I won't post the photos... sigh......

 

[Jeweljunke]

Thanks Colorlvr. Tell me about it. All of a sudden I hit menopause and I have all this thin loose skin on top of my hands. Yikes! They look like my mom's hands when I was little. And I went through a couple of photos before I picked these...not because of the quality of the stone or the photo, but because of the quality of my hands. LOL

 

[minousbijoux]

I'm impressed that you would even provide hand shots if you think your hands are so old! But let me just say that I would love to have your "old lady" hands when I'm an old lady

It is a knockout stone in a knockout ring and looks lovely on your hand.

 

[T L]

I think it looks lovely on your hand, and I love the setting too!

 

[LD]

I always wince when I see my old lady hands in a photo! It's horrible isn't it? Having said that, yours don't look like old lady hands and in all honesty when you're wearing that ring, nobody will be looking at your hands anyway - the focus will be on that absolutely gorgeous trillion! I really really really really really really love it!

 

[JewelFreak]

Wow, HOT pink! Steaming, burning, scorching, searing PINK. It's gorgeous!!!

 

[colorluvr]

I totally agree with LD! I wore one of my nice rings to an Intergem a few weeks ago and I had a couple of vendors grab my hand and ask where I got it, etc. etc. This one vendor (sold nice settings and jewelry) even had me give her the name of the vendor of the stone - lol and SHE'S in the business! Made me feel good I don't think it was my old lady hands she was looking at.

 

[Starzin]

Wow...that really IS a "screaming" hot pink beautifully set and looks lovely on your hand.

OT: Soooo Colorluvr...which ring was that? Inquiring minds want to know

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

I love hot pink stones--yours is gorgeous!

cheers--Sharon

 

[minousbijoux]

I had to come back and look again. I love saturated stones and that stone was just meant to live in that halo. Like little spotlights shining on the star

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Blindingly beautiful! The color is so rich and intense, and the setting is beautiful.

 

[Jeweljunke]

So many nice comments from you all. Thanks so much. You should have seen me when it arrived and I opened it. I was truly speechless. The stone does not have a bad angle and it is beautiful indoors, outdoor, and in any light I've seen it in.

I will have a surprise to share soon. I just ordered another stone from Tan...not a sapphire

 

[miraclesrule]

I just love a good tease....

That hot pink is gorgeous! I am starting to understand the obsession with unique color and more surprisingly, trillions. I never thought I would ever REALLY like one, but this ring just dispels that theory.

I LOVE it!

 

[marcy]

Beautiful. I love the color.

 

[Arkteia]

Beautiful color and a ring! Tan rules.
