1.74ct Blue Oval Shape Sapphire and Diamond Halo Ring

When selecting sapphires, I keep many things in mind. First and foremost I want a bright, shiny and lively stone.

To that end, cut is very important - both overall shape, as well as the way the stone plays with the light.

However, you just can't get away from the fact that the body color is going to determine just how well the stone sparkles and how we'll perceive that sparkle.

This one is an extremely lively blue.

There's a touch of purple, but really a very slight touch.

To my eye the effect is extremely rich.

The photos give you a very good idea.

By the way, when I'm shopping for sapphires, price is always a consideration - and this one is an exceptional value considering how good it looks.

The stone has been heated as is customary in most natural sapphires.

The Ring

This setting is a phenomenal partner to bring out the color of this sapphire.

As you can see from the photos and video, the round diamonds are super well cut- and totally colorless.

Classic is as classic does, and this one does it perfectly.

In the photo on the right, you can see what I'm talking about.

The Sapphire on the left is quite a nice one. Believe it or not, in this particular case, the Sapphire on the left had a higher price than the stone on the right- which is the stone I chose. It's making it's new owner very happy as you read this.
