I've been looking for a sapphire-like stack ring to go with my Ripka set. I finally decided to go with this Epiphany Diamonique choice. Although, in terms of color, I actually think my London blue topaz ring goes better with my Ripka sapphire Pia bracelet. I also wondered if I would like the princess cut stones with the round pave stones and I am satisfied with them in that area as well.

I am happy with the fit of these three rings together. The sapphire ring sticks up slightly higher than the Ripka rings, but it is not that noticeable and doesn't bother me. I was afraid the platinum-plated ring would not be the same color as the silver ones, but not enough metal shows on the sapphire ring for that to be a problem. I have a few other simulated-diamond stack rings on the way to see if they go better than the Ripka ones, and just to have options. But I think I may go ahead and order this Epiphany ring in other stone colors.

I also just received a new white ceramic watch. I seriously considered the Ripka ceramic watch, but I just didn't like the hearts on it and thought it was too expensive. I also decided I wanted to try the rose-gold combination. I bought this Swiss Legend watch and think I got a good deal--almost $200 cheaper than the Ripka when you consider taxes and shipping. I need to have a link removed from the band, but otherwise I love it.
