Ideas for a setting
An oval just under one carat looks graceful in a slim solitaire or with a halo of small white stones. White gold keeps the blue cool; yellow gold gives a vintage feel.
Who it suits
It is a smart choice for someone who wants a real sapphire for daily wear without a large, heavy stone. It also makes a meaningful first gemstone purchase.
Many people choose a smaller sapphire like this for a promise ring or a sixteenth birthday gift, as it stays comfortable for young hands.
