Thank you! Yes, the sapphire ering is a custom piece by a favorite local jeweler who is also a sculptor . I fell in love with how architectural the lines are. Here are some side shots.Ooh all these pieces are gorgeous! The round with the semi bezel and sidestones is so unique too-- is that a custom design? Love how it sets off the sapphire.
The pendant is so pretty, the scallop detail is a really nice touch.
And I don't ever get tired of seeing your star sapphire!

This is a ring that David Klass recently completed for me. I thought I would wear it as a RHR but turns out I'm not a RHR person, haha. So whenever I feel like wearing it I pair it with my wedding band.
I have 2 sapphire rings at the moment. One is 4.70 carats (10.33 mm round) set in a halo. The other is 4.06 carats (11.11 × 8.10 mm) oval set as a 3 stone ring. I love both. The oval has a strong blue presence in all lighting. The round is a glowy blue but occasionally has a slight purple tint in stromg fluorescent office lighting.
Thank you! It was a labor of love and I spent way too much time questioning my design choices, haha. It's very nice to hear someone else appreciate the elements I stressed over so much, thank you for your kindness.
This is mine: a blue 5+ carat sapphire in a platinum ring. The center stone is flanked by a diamond baguette on each side.
Can you post a photo of your stone OP?
I have a blue and a blue color shifter that are both set with a halo.

It's funny how it works out with those intended RHRs, eh?
Hi Sharon,
what lovely rings you have! The modern trillion design is just stunning. Did you come up with that? And your cluster ring... I could just fall into that pool of blue.
My round is somewhat close to the color of your trillion and now that I've seen your ring, I am wondering if I should start considering mixed metals some more. decisions decisions!
I also have a modern, yellow, sapphire ring with demantoids (not posted) created by the bench who designed the blue sapphire/trilion: they too created my yellow sapphire earrings (also not posted on this thread). NONE of those I designed....that would be outside of my abilities! I bought wisely?
I mix metals. And sometimes others mix them for me!
cheers--Sharon
First, what a great sapphire!! I love the colors! I can imagine it either way, but I keep thinking of two side stones and open sides , because I can imagine it being in a mysterious setting.Here are some pics of my cc round (~8.5mm); would love suggestions on whether to halo or not. I lean heavily toward white metals.
Worst case scenario with minimal light
Natural light
Incandescent
Mixed lighting
@Catmom thank you for sharing your beauties! I'm seeing a setting theme here with the halos and split or twisted shank... I am a big fan of a criss cross/twisted shank myself.
The sapphires are beautiful and the settings just work to perfection. What a lovely family.
Do you find that your color changer goes much darker? my lighter shade is somewhat similar to yours, but the purple side (in incandescent light) is quite distinct and almost amethyst-like.
Crescent half moons!
And halo!
