Oval Sapphire with Half Moons ... Thoughts?

[MsCocoChanel]

I recently have been looking for a gemstone ring to add to my jewelry collection. I love fancy yellow diamonds in three stone settings and have been perusing sapphires as well. I came across this little bauble online at DbL and keep coming back to it. I adore the side half moons and craftsmanship of the ring but am wondering about the center sapphire. Overall it seems like a very reasonable price point for the setting and diamonds alone. I believe it’s a heated stone. Any thoughts on this one or should I keep looking? Would love to use this as an alternate wedding ring but am wondering if it is too flashy for more casual settings and work.

This is an awesome 1.84ct Blue Oval Brilliant Sapphire. We set it into a hand forged three stone ring using half moon diamonds

Beautiful ring.
The sapphire is nice but not great.
It doesn’t have a vivid tone so it looks a bit “flat”. It will be rather meh in low lighting conditions.
It also appears to have a veil inclusion running diagonally through the centre of the gem (The 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock position). That would bug me.
I think she has a good return policy so if it wasn’t to your expectations upon receiving in seeing, you can return it.

Thanks for pointing out these issues, I may pass on it for the time being but do love the setting!

I love the setting too, it's gorgeous! The sapphire also has a lot of dings on the facet junctions.

Another PS-er is selling this sapphire. I’m not a sapphire pro but I think it’s very pretty. It’s one I considered myself but I wanted bigger and decided to wait. I wonder if you could reach out to someone like DK to see how much it’d cost to make a similar setting?

OMG that is gorgeous. So much nicer than the sapphire that DBL ring...

I'd buy this and just ask DK to set it!

Oooh nice! She always has great taste!

For the CS forum, there is too little detail about the star of the show -- the sapphire. No mention of treatment or origin and no report. I don't think $4K is unreasonable but much of that is going to the unnecessary (imo) pave all over the place. From the thread title, I was picturing an oval bracketed by the half-moons and thought that sounded lovely as a simple three-stone.
