Okay here are a few hand shots to start with (a few I took in Central Park yesterday)...  While she looks very purple in most of these pics her colour changes all of the time IRL.  For instance now in the house she is looking more of a raspberry hot pink.  On the plane home last night she was flashing colours anywhere from a blue purple to pink to even deep red.  In case it isn't obvious I am in love  

Here are a couple with my light blue sapphire ring I got many years ago while living in Holland so you can get a better idea of the colour

And a couple of fun things I have picked up over the last year or so...

WOW!  KK, your collection is amazing!  I love the DBL sapphire; I can't believe how purplish and fiery it is.  Wonderful catch.

Would you mind describing a few of your other rings?  Each is lovely and unique and I'd love to hear more about them.

Wow, what a lovely collection you have there!  I can't decide which one I like best.  Well I love the sapphire, but the cushion is beautiful too.  I am usually  not a huge fan of ovals, but yours is divine!

I'd love to see more of your rings if you want to take more pictures for us 

Kath i love both your sapphire rings!  the style of the blue is great.  but i have to say all your rings are making me crazy right now, got more pics of the emerald cut, three stone round and oval bezel halo rings?  awesome collection!

Love the new sapphire ring!

My favourite is the EC. But the rest is fabulous too!

Wow! KK, your purple sapphire is so rich in color-love it!
 
Your collection is awesome!  I was looking at it...(well, I was really drooling over it  ) in the Forum Photo Gallery.  I would love to see more pictures, particularly the profile of your new cushion in the revised Lucida/diamond studded underwire setting.

Do you still have the 0.95ct FY EC ring and your pear collection?

Thanks everyone!  I am very lucky to have these beauties.

I agree Mrs M about the setting.  It is perfect for the shape of the stone and really sets it off.  I also like how the diamonds are set in the halo they really sparkle!

NYC is one of my favourite places and it was so nice to finally be there for a little while and not have to be working.  I spent both days just out walking and enjoying the city because the weather was beautiful.  Of course I spent lots of time looking at all of the amazing jewelry there too!  Saw some stunning pink and blue diamond earrings in the window at Harry Winston

I have to admit that out of all of my sparklies the emerald cut is my fav too.  I just love yellow step cuts!  I don't have the .95 EC anymore, but David has it now set between 2 white ECs.  I can't remember the item number off of the top of my head.

Annie the 3 stone cushion was actually my first DBL purchase.  I am a total sucker for cushion cuts!

I still have the pear pendant and ring, but I don't have the pear gizmos any longer  At some point I may get David to make me another pair it is just that I found that I didn't wear them as much as I thought that I would.

I will try to get some profile shots of the new little K cushion later today.  

And, GL I love the topaz.  I got it second hand and only paid $20 for it!  I was so excited.

Thanks again everyone!

Thank you   You have some really beautiful pieces as well!

It IS a gorgeous collection!

Here's the .95ct Emerald cut as it is today.....
