My too dark sapphires have been set!

[737liz]

This is my first show-offf post. And is a modest project but I wanted to post my stackers because they actually look better set than loose. Which is a shocker. I had tempered my expectations for them and was pleasantly surprised.

Neither the 9mm green nor the 6mm blue were quite right as a standalone, so I went on the hunt for a small light blue/green to make a set of stackers, which I found in the form a a perfect 4mm shifty icy minty blue montana. Well, finally, after a year of waiting for my jeweler to get around to it... they are done!

I started calling it my midnight moss trilogy to be silly, but I think it is an apt name for the set. Green is aussie old stock, teal blue is from Jamie at aussie gems, and the montana is from a cutter based in Oklahoma and selling on etsy/ebay. All unheated, set in 18k yellow, rose, and plat. Each band has a thickness variation of 0.2mm. The bands are open to allow as much light in as possible. They are greasy, but here is a pic overload. I'm so happy with how thin the bezels are! Thanks for humouring me.

They look great! I love a stacker and the colors look beautiful together. The mix metals are too. Will you do more in the future? (The danger of stackers perhaps?!)

I LOVE that! Thanks for showing them— I had thought about doing the same.

Fabulous stack! I love how different they look with different lighting

Great solution and a great look! Love them.

Very nice! I love bezel set stones on plain bands.

They are beautiful. Well done!

They are beautifully set and individually i think they are wonderful as well. The 9mm green sapphire is definitely substantial enough to wear on its own. Enjoy your trio!

Very nicely done and good contrast in size and delicacy!

Thanks, It does feel silly to say that 9mm isn't good enough on it's own, but it definitely looks better next to the blues than by itself. But as @meely said, I'm already contemplating other colours and sizes to mix things up. I feel like the teal blue won't wear well in winter as will be dark navy, and would like a slightly more greenish blue, maybe a teal green? Or maybe some light greens? Or purples, or yellows for some clash? I laso feel the sizes are off...Ahhhh!!!! Too many ideas, not enough funds. Sometimes I joke that it's a blessing that I'm not a billionaire because I'd just buy a vault and fill it will gems, then spend my days diving into them a-la-duck.mcscrooge from ducktales. But it's only a joke. I desperately wish I were a billionaire miser.

Lovely stackers!!

A nice red garnet or tourmaline perhaps? I think they are lovely as they are but variety is not necessarily a bad thing. I would wear them all year round but I don't change my color palette (clothes, makeup) seasonally.
