i have a three-stone cushion cut and it was a little harder to find than a round or oval. (i tend to prefer square over round in general). imho, the side diamonds - either with side stones or a halo - add pretty sparkles as a sapphire isn't going to have the same fire or scintillation as a diamond.

I LOVE sapphires! I have a sapphire & diamond set, this is a picture of the earring, sorry about the poor quality. I am not sure what cut it is but I find that diamonds really emphasise the colour and bring it out. :D

Thanks for the ideas! They all sound amazing... I got the idea for a cushion cut browsing on the natural sapphire company website. Those just looked so fiery to me. Well ... Blue fire anyway.



I am still saving up and sounds like I might have to save more than I originally planned if I go for a bigger size. My fingers are really puny though.. I am only 5'1" and small, but the upside is that smaller stones don't look as small on me. :smile1:

btw TNSC is very expensive! you could contact a gemstone cutter and see what they have in stock?

Oh ok. Thanks for the tip! I was browsing for ideas mainly but I think (I hope) my jeweler will be able to find what I need for less...they make jewelry for birks so hopefully they have good suppliers.
