My first response on the blue " "
I know you polish your finds. Do you have the "before" pic?

I have not polished them, only a warm soapy wash.
This was as found at the beach.
Meggie old Chap...Both those rings certainly look like they were made by the same High Q artist...do you figure they were lost by the same person or couple?
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts regarding the loss of this fine pair of beauties...
I have just got back from having both Sapphires rings valued.
Insurance value on the Blue one .... $19,568 (US$14,000)
on the Yellow one ... $5,795. (US$4195)
They said the retail value on the blue one would be at least $15,000 (US$10,730) .. I love this hobby.
And you can generally expect 15% of retail on the aftermarket. So... $2250 USD is great!

Not entirely true, I can assure you .. it depends to whom & where you sell!
I can and have done very, very much better over here .. and I mean much better!
Thanks for your positive input though!
What size is that ring?
The blue sapphire ring .. it's around a size 8½
