NSC and JD - my violet sapph in a halo

[Elyxia]

Jaw dropping gorgeous! The colour looks amazing What a great find

 

[laurenk]

Lovely stone and setting!!! May I ask
The size of the diamonds in your halo?

 

[chrono]

Sweetness! I'm glad you finally found your Holy Grail stone. NSC is not bad altogether; there are pros and cons shopping there and if you know what you are doing, they do have a great selection to choose from.

I love the color, NKOTB!

 

[NKOTB]

Thanks, Xrisus, ILG, pregcurious, eastjavaman (it certainly does look blue sometimes), and Elyxia.

Thanks, laurenk - it's .32 ctw, so they're 2 points each.

Thanks, Chrono - or She Who Started It All. Your big oval spinel will probably remain my actual Holy Grail stone, but this is an okay runner-up.

Thanks, Zoe!

OMGosh, that is so pretty! The color is (even in different lightings) is gorgeous...and I love that you went with slightly bigger
melee in the halo. The white against the blue really makes the stone pop!

How on earth did I miss this thread?! It's perfect!! Your patience definitely paid off, this one is spectacular! Love the setting too. Coffee date soon please, so I can enjoy this beauty in person!

Thanks, tyty! I've been wanting to do a halo with slightly bigger melee for a while…This doesn't even seem that big.

Thanks, dk, Sharon, Evangeline, and lambskin!

Davi - you'll have to see it someday and see how it compares to the GD - I mean GF.

kama - Yes! Soon!

I wore it over the weekend, and must admit I felt a little blah about it on this grey, rainy morning (though perhaps it was just my mood)…But then the sun came out, and I went grocery shopping. It is pretty in some lighting, but it's the diffused sunlight and some fluorescents that really make me swoon. A reminder to myself that most stones don't look perfect in ALL lighting.

 

[laurenk]

Thank you!

That's a beautiful dreamy purple.

 

[distracts]

Ooooh this is so pretty!
