Received my sapphire today!

*Danielle* · Oct 28, 2008

I received it after the sun went down so unfortunately these do not do the stone justice. I will take more tomorrow!

Also, I noticed it is pretty red. Is it possible that this could be considered ruby because of the color?

Sorry, lost quality with that one...

Last one until later tomorrow. Excuse the hands. I was cleaning all day today...

Looking into other companies I do notice stones of this color being called sapphire. I believe it is because of the orangey hue that it carries. Am I wrong?

I believe it''s beryllium diffused sapphire. It can''t be called ruby, because its color is a result of treatment.

It''s very pretty! I wouldn''t call it ruby though.

It is still a pretty color though, how will you set it?

It looks very orange on my monitor.

I will get better shots in the sun tomorrow. I am thing maybe a solitaire setting. I love the look of the stone on its own. I would love a halo but it is a little out of my price range at the moment.

Gorgeous stone! I wouldn''t call it a ruby, looks more orangey (at least it does on my screen). But regardless-- it''s beautiful! I love solitaires too.

It looks pretty. It appears orange on my screen too.

Very pretty. I can''t wait to see more pictures because it looks orange on my screen too. I understand how hard it is to photograph a colored stone and get good, clear pictures AND get accurate color representation. I must have taken close to 200 shots of my sapphire in the week that I had it before it was sent off to be set! Good luck!
