Niel buys another gaudy sapphire

[Niel]

.

Lucky sapphire

The new cut looks very elegant. I wonder what the colour might look like with some subtler gold backing...

Emerald sides?

Having it loose has shown me it will be in platinum. It looses some of its sunny brightness when placed back onto a yellow gold setting. The white really brings out the sunflower color.

Neil, the stone is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see this stone set and on your finger. You have beautiful hands too.

I’ll make a thread when there is bette lighting but she’s been recut and put back in her setting while I settle in for the long haul of finding the perfect matching pair - her name is Daisy.

I have to wonder if Daisy was a lapel pin at some point in her life.

The way the shank meets the basket I do not believe she’s a conversion.
