Opinions on this setting with sapphires instead of diamonds.

Hi sorry I can't post a pic but it never seems to work when I try to please use this link. Please ignore the center stone it isn't my ring.

I was wondering what everyone thought about how this would look with small round blue sapphires instead small round diamonds in the setting? Or perhaps small pink sapphires?

I only mention pink because I am afraid the blue may be too dark. I wouldn't want to use a blue as light as topaz though. Do blue sapphires come in different shades of blue I would consider a sort of medium blue color if not the very dark blue.

Do you think having blue stones would interfere with the light refraction and lessin the sparkle of the larger stones in the ring?

Could you imagine this same ring style setting with a marquise centerstone? How do you think that would look with either of the sapphires?

Someone really should make a website where you could build your own ring. I know there are some out there like diamonds are forever but I mean with using different type settings and not just diamond shapes but gemstones too. Or have a program you could buy.

Ok all you computer genius type people out there take my idea and make millions.

Well, great, of course. Surely you could locate some sapphire melee of better color (meaning blue not bleumarine).

Is that close to the ring you are looking for? My only concern is that the model seems suitable for rather large diamonds - otherwise the band of pave rounds (be them diamonds or not) would look relatively larger. One cannot obtain any size for the pave to recreate these proportions exactly. I know there are models with pave under 1 carat diamonds (the sugnature line of BBB for ex), but the resulting look is different. Just one thing to consider.
