Hi everyone,
First time poster, obsessive longtime lurker. I finally need help that lurking couldn''t provide!
I really would like to make a JM platform style ring; however, I don''t like big stones. After talking to James (super nice), he told me that the stone needed to be at least 1 ct (so about 6mm) for the stone to not look lost in the setting.
I still would like to make the ring. My favorite colors are pink and green, so I would like to find a color change stone of those colors around 6-6.5mm in size. Any shape is welcome. As much as I would like a true pink-green shift, my budget won''t allow for it, so I''m also looking for stones that can be pinkish-purplish-orangish to greenish-blueish.
I wouldn''t wear the ring everyday, so more delicate stones are fine. Since I''m not even sure what stones have this kind of shift (alexandrite? flourite?), all suggestions are welcome, but I''d like to keep the stone under $450 if possible. Is it even possible at this price point? And how would bezeling it affect the color change?
I appreciate any help you all can give. Thanks in advance!
