Hello,
I just received a beautiful 6.5 ct. asscher cut corn flower blue no heat sapphire that I ordered on Gem Rock Auction. I took to a reputable local jeweler and was initially pretty excited when he checked out the stone said it was a beautiful stone without issue. My optimism melted away once I started discussing mounting in a men's setting. I was told that the stone really isn't ideal dimensions for a men's ring because of the depth. The stones dimensions are 9.2mm x 9.0mm x8.1mm. I was thinking I got a pretty good deal, but now I'm thinking I will need to return this stone since the dimensions may be too deep for a men's setting. There is sapphire ring that I love that has a 10.5 carat sapphire with the sapphire's dimensions being 12.7mm x 10.7mm x 7.49mm. The stone I have would be .52mm more depth than this ring. Should I return this stone and look for a stone with less depth? I would say I have average size hands for a man with a ring size of 9. Was initially thinking to make a pinky ring, but now I'm thinking the jeweler could be right that the depth may make this ring sit too tall for any finger. I would love to hear any opinions. (Attaching photos of the sapphire I got as well as the sapphire ring online that sits tall but looks awesome to me). Thanks!
