My bargain swiss blue topaz ring

[laineybugger]

I have been craving a fun new (aka cheap) ring to tide me over while I am work on a custom ring project. I found this little sterling silver 3.7ct swiss blue topaz ring today and couldn''t resist!! Hoping it''s a decent stone but for $35 you get what you pay for I guess I have been completely obsessed with all things bezel recently and love this settting!

Side view which I love...

 

[Elegant]

Very pretty! I love the bezel look and the side profile...very nice! Congrats!

 

[geckodani]

That''s beautiful! Where did you find that, if I may ask?

I love the profile!

 

[MonkeyPie]

I''m curious where you got it too - I have been craving a bezel!

 

[geckodani]

Overstock.com. I went on a blue topaz hunt, LOL!

 

[MonkeyPie]

Oh they have it in lots of colors too! Thanks!

 

[geckodani]

I keep eyeing the amethyst. But I barely wear the tanzanite I have, so more purple might not be a good idea... Then again...

 

[laineybugger]

Nope no hand shots yet I just ordered it yesterday I can''t wait to see it though! It was an overstock.com find and if I like the blue topaz I might order the others.

Lemon Quartz Bezel

Amethyst Bezel

It looks pretty- lovin'' that bezel! I hope it looks as nice when you get it too... for $35 it seems like you can''t go too wrong really.

it looks gorgeous and much more "expensive" looking than what it is priced!! Handshots please! If you love it, I may buy myself one!

 

[laineybugger]

Got the ring and I LOVE it! The stone is lovely and very vibrant. These pictures were taken in natural daylight and are very true to color.

Wow! The color is so much more vibrant than it appeared in the original picture, what a great deal you got on that ring. The color looks great outside, how does it look in other lighting?

 

[geckodani]

Oh wow it''s beautiful!

Now the real question - do you mind if we all order one now?

 

[Elegant]

Wow - looks beautiful! Nice color and coverage!

 

[LostSapphire]

That COLOUR is totally wicked! (sorry, I''m trying for topazy-blue but am getting aqua!)

Ditto to this!! I have had my eye on this ring for at least a month because I''ve had a craving for a blue stone and I am in love with bezels, but the color always seemed SO light in the pictures that I passed. After seeing yours in these photos, I ordered one within about 5 minutes, haha. It''s beautiful!! I can''t wait for mine!

I''ve been looking too - I finally went with Jeff because the only asschers I found in gemstones were not really asschers...more like square maybeacushionmaybeanasscher cuts. Kinda weird. Let me know if you stumble across one!

And I am seriously considering the bezel topaz now...omg your hand shots, it''s such a pretty color!

 

[Tuckins1]

Woah... Gorgeous!!!

 

[stryeyes102]

Absolutely love it!

There is something about those swiss blue topaz stones that just makes your heart sing!

 

[westjenn]

Lainey, thanks for posting this ring! I''m ordering the yellow quartz version. I wear my bezel set asscher sapphire everyday, so we''ll see if this takes it place for a while!

 

[fire-n-ice]

this is gorgeous!!! the color is so vibrant
