My new 1.46 ct oval paraiba

[Acinom]

Beautiful design. I would opt for the first design and replace the sand colored stones for diamonds. Very chique and elegant

Fancy VIVID yellow diamonds, I think, would contrast beautifully against the paraiba blue.

One more!

Hubba, hubba! It’s gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing! I love a good "party ring", and you're right that I love colors. For this ring, I am a bit all over the map. I am narrowing in on a cluster ring or a moi et toi style ring at this point. Inspired by Harry Winston right now... looking at these (was playing with PicMonkey for visualizing the colors and layout).




Would love opinions and thoughts!

obviously I'm a fan of these halo shapes...





For me I didn't want any other colors of stone because I wanted the paraiba to really jump out and nothing to compete, which is why I also went with rose cuts for a more subdued sparkle. But if you like other colors - go for it. The fun halo shape is great.

Another vote for fancy vivid yellow diamond contrast!! I was going to go down that path for mine- I even bought two little yellow diamonds for it!!! It would be like the beach and a perfect blue ocean...

This is a gorgeous ring! How large is that center stone?

2.25 cts, 9.8 x 7.4 mm, so a little larger than yours but not by a ton.

Here's the thread - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/paraiba-in-rose-cut-halo.251618/

The setting thread linked therein contains a ton of info, similar inspo pictures, and the mm sizes of the round stones and pears, which may be helpful with your design!

Here we are!! Went with irradiated blue diamonds again and added some color with a rose gold shank.

 

[MariMeow]

GORGEOUS

I'm loving the family pic of your 3 rings! Those irradiated blue diamonds look pretty perfect! That's rare.

You have an amazing eye for ring design!

Do you think PT also gets slightly darker once they are set?

 

[natasha-cupcake]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Thank you! The family picture made me LOL since these rings are clearly siblings. Haha.

I actually feel like setting this paraiba brightened it up and made the "glow" really pop. I didn't see it darken like I have with some of my sapphires.

 

[DauphineMucha]

Very attractive indeed!

 

[Horsegirl76]

Stunning!

Yes! Indoor hand shots pls!

 

[GliderPoss]

I freaking LOVE these rings, that GLOW is just divine!!!

 

[Candylover]

I keep eyeing this one too - https://www.etsy.com/listing/765805...tourmaline-193ct?ref=shop_home_active_4&frs=1

But I don't need so many paraiba... right? Right?

This is a real eye candy I love paraiba and have bought a pair to be set as earrings. They are tiny though but at the moment I am trying not to spend too much on them. I feel like I need a good justification to buy a good quality one.

I look forward to seeing your stone set into a beautiful ring!
