Hi all,
New poster here. I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction, since I've never bought loose gemstones off the internet before. I have two 4.8 x3.2mm (0.2ct) emerald baguettes from a family ring. I already had the central diamond from that ring reset into a simple white gold solitaire. I would now like to have the two emeralds set into a new yellow gold ring, with a new centre stone, in green.
I am looking for advice on what kind of stone would be best? I don't want it to be big - probably no more than 6 x4 mm or 6 x 6mm for a square cut, maybe a bit larger if it's a good price. Ideally I would like it to be an emerald cut or asscher cut. I don't love the sharp corners of a princess cut but maybe it would match better with the baguettes. It definitely needs to be square or rectangular.
My favorite so far is a green tourmaline - I like that it's a slightly more yellowy green than emerald. I would definitely like it to be a different color green to the emeralds. I haven't managed to find anywhere online that sells it in the size and shape I'm looking for though, and I'm a bit wary of eBay.
Anyone have any advice on where to find what I'm looking for? Recommended vendors? Alternatives to tourmaline?
Thanks in advance!
