Thank you!!!!!  About it looking like a yellow diamond... I have been asked if it was a diamond or had a comment made like "what a pretty yellow diamond", but it is not my intention to deceive... if asked I will always say its a sapphire... but I do love it when it happens!

You fooled me! Hehe! But I love your sapphire....it's gorgeous! I love your setting too. The scrollwork is beautiful, and I love how there's diamonds on the top & sides of it......I'm sure it's always sparkling!! Did you have it custom made? It looks perfect & so well-built! Amy

Thanks again!!! It is not custom made, actually it was being sold as a semi mount (with prongs on the head) at a local jewelers and I asked him if he could find me a yellow sapphire to go in it. He found one for me and set it (with the prongs at first). I had asked him if he could do a bezel, but since the stone was so big he said he couldn't. Well I lived with the prong setting for about 3 weeks (I had asked him to set the stone as low as possible, but since the stone was so large it still sat up pretty high) and during that time noticed that the sapphire had a pretty big window. So I went back to my jeweler to ask him about swapping stones for a yellow sapphire that was better cut. I also told him that I would like to bezel the new stone (and to please get a smaller one so that it could be bezeled). Well he got me a beautiful stone with no window and bezel set it for me! It is now exactly what I wanted. So I guess you could say the middle stone bezel setting is custom. But other than that it was right out of the case (he has so many magnificent pieces!!) Here is a picture before the bezel setting (and new stone) in case you are curious: |

Posh, thanks for posting a "before" pic. I think it looks so much better bezel set too.....and probably safer for your stone. I'm glad you ended up getting a better cut sapphire too! It's amazing!! Amy

That is such a lovely sapphire! The setting is beautiful and looks great on your finger. The bezel setting just makes the ring! |

Oh snap! I love it! I didn't read all the replies so far, so forgive me if this question has been asked already. Do you plan to wear this alone without a wedding band so you won't cover up or damage the diamonds underneath? |

I wanted to get a thin band of yellow diamonds that matched the style of the shank of my ring. (thin band meaning 1.5 mm to 2 mm). I know it will not sit flush with the Ering (which wont bug me) but so far I have not been able to find such a band. The other option I am considering is to get a wedding band that is a bit more fancy (like with vine or floral designs) that I can wear when I dont want to wear the Ering. And thanks for the compliment

You also may want to consider yellow sapphires in a band, might be easier to locate... |

I thought that also, but they are just as hard to find as yellow diamonds. My problem really is that I do not want an eternity band (I have found yellow diamonds, sapphires and a mix of white diamonds and yellow sapphires in eternity bands) but I cannot find a half or 3/4 band of either yellow sapphires or yellow diamonds that compliments my Ering anywhere. I will probably have to go the custom route. |

Thank you!!! I'm not sure if I will replace the stone or not. I have thought about it as an upgrade option for an anniversary or something like that. Time will tell

Oh yes, I will never part with the sapphire (willingly LOL)... if (big if) I decide in the future to upgrade to a diamond center stone the sapphire will either go into a RHR or a pendant. |

i love the pendant idea. the ER i have now is actually an upgrade. eventually im going to have the stones from my first ER set into a necklace. i would rather recycle them than sell them for far less than what we paid for them. |

Posh, your ring is just gorgeous and I love the yellow sapphire!! I don't think you ever need to change it to a yellow diamond. Of course I happen to be a sapphire fan myself!
