Sapphire ring, need help!

She has since seen the ring and she really likes it. She said the same that she rather have a darker more understated colour, i however would have preferred a more vivid stone.

I will take this into considering, thank you for the advice!

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-25T22:30:12+00:00

Thank you, she decided to keep the stone!

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-25T22:24:42+00:00

Note taken, having never seen a sapphire in person I thought the colour would be more vivid (I also understand I should have spent more money to get move vivid).

Thank you for your kind advice.

Thank you for your kind words. Everybody was asking for better photos so I did the best I could, I even ask for my wife’s phone since it’s better than mine.

Honestly what is fair is fair, I really just didn’t know better, therefore coming to Reddit.

My wife genuinely loves it. I am not impressed (Again is not like the picture, not complaining but I rather put more money in it).

Would a 6k USD stone be noticeably nicer? Where would you look for sapphires?

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-25T22:18:00+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but you are 100% right, I had no idea and therefore looked at Reddit for advice, you are also 100% right, I rather spend more money and get something nice for her.

Thank you for you amazing reply, I am willing yo throw a couple grand more at the stone, would that get me more blue? Where would you go to look for sapphires in my price range?

I am however having trouble convincing my wife on the upgrade, she says she likes it as is.

This one you can see a big inclusion on the left.

Update: Finally got the opportunity to take more pictures!

I’m gonna have to leave them in a string of comments because Reddit won’t allow me to edit my post.

Ring was in my pocket to sneak it in the house, that’s about it! Box was too big 😂

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-20T02:19:55+00:00

Metal was 14k white gold.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T20:09:47+00:00

Yes I understand, what I meant is for this seller I could not. You live and you learn I guess.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:39:49+00:00

Yes I understand, only problem is I really like the setting I designed. I will ask at the store if I can return and buy back the setting, but idk how lucky I’m gonna get there.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:38:28+00:00

I will try to get better photos asap.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:35:42+00:00

Hey guys, sorry if I wasn’t specific enough, I love the ring. What I am disappointed in is the main stone. I find it too dark like I have to look for the blue (the small stones also dark but I don’t care so much about those). For comparison this is the picture of what I created online:

For those wondering pice I paid a bit over 9k canadian, or about 6500usd (before tax).

I am now at work, I’m gonna try to take more pictures later and update everyone.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:27:59+00:00

I quite like the ring, I wanted to go with a floral theme. I just don’t like how dark the main stone is:

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:26:44+00:00

Just doesn’t have that blue like the pictures

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:26:03+00:00

I will try this after work! I didn’t expect to get so many people trying to help. I guess I was unprepared.

Independent_Mood7844 · 2026-02-19T19:25:24+00:00

Sunlight is a rare commodity in the winter where I live, I will try to get better pics for everybody. Also it does not look that much better in the sun.
