Sapphire Love, my new Lavender Sapphires

[mkpurselover]

I adore corundums: blue, pink, red, purple!!!. I had never seen a lavender sapphire before and had to have this. It is a .77 carat sapphire in a diamond halo setting. I also got earrings in the same color although the setting do not match. I am very excited. This is a pre pre birthday gift to me (I'm a Sept Sapphire birthday gal)

Stunning! That pendant is amazing and the earring gorgeous. Happy early birthday!

I adore the variety that sapphires offer and have a purple-tinged pink sapphire for my e-ring. Love, love, love them.

Thank you. I would love to have a sapphire thread here but I don't think they are as popular as other jewelery types. Did you post your e ring previously?

I hope this thread takes off. Someone just posted a sapphire ering in the ering thread. I just love all the variety it offers.

I did in the ering thread awhile back. Here's the larger version of my avatar with it alongside my dailies:

Wow that is a stunning e-ring! Love the color of the sapphire and the rose gold setting. Just curious, what does the wedding ring look like?

Thank you! I love pink, so we opted not to go the traditional route. Sapphires offer so many options and colors. Don't the wedding ring yet (still working out those details ), but the designer makes a matching micro pave band.

Have you ever looked at the natural sapphire co? It's dangerous; there's so many choices there. They have some really unique and unusual stones too.

Yes i have been to their website before, beautiful and beyond my price range! Ah to be a millionaire!! I would cover myself in sapphires! Matching micro pave sounds very nice, look forward to seeing the set.

I have an unset trillion cut purple sapphire that's just under a carat...90 something points. I'll have to get it out & take a picture of it.

Oh please do. Are you considering a setting? I am a white metal gal, although rose gold would be lovely too, as leechiyong's setting is.

I bought it years ago along with a Golden Sapphire. The Purple Trillion is .95 carats & the Golden is .98 carats. I have several loose gemstones in Tanzanite, Spessertite & Hessonite Garnet, Apatite, Cambodian Blue Zircon, & Brazilian Opal. I bought them with the intention of having them set in something but just never got around to it. LOL

Sorry for the poor picture quality but I took them in their gem boxes.

Ooh, beautiful. I would find it impossible have all those lovely stones and not wear them. Please post if you do set any of them!

Just revisited the natural sapphire site, and I see there are many offering in an acceptable price range. Dangerous indeed!!!

Those are gorgeous!

Out of curiousity from someone who also has a loose stone to be set and wants to buy more, did you have designs in mind when you bought them or is that part of the dilemma?

No, I had some designs in mind for some of the stones. I bought 8-9 Spessartite Garnets for a bracelet but found out I needed more stones. The dilemma is finding matching stones. After I bought the purple sapphire, I thought I wanted to have earrings made but I haven't found a matching stone. I have about 2 dozen or more loose gems that I've collected over the past 15+ years in different cuts, shapes, & carat weight. I think one of the reasons I haven't had a lot of them set is because I generally prefer larger stones & carat weights in rings & pendants. A lot of the stones are around the 1 carat size. I have a 2+ carat black diamond that I want to have set in a halo pendant once I find the time. I really need to make an appointment with my jeweler to decide how to proceed.
