Hi all!
Per my previous thread, I'm looking for a green-yellow chrysoberyl or sapphire. I've contacted a few gem cutters (Uli, Steve Parry, Roger Dery, Doug, Gene, R2R, Jeff Davies, all based on the recommendations on PS) and some are pending, though most of them don't have anything in their inventory that work.
Ideally I want a square stone of 6-8mm, and I don't mind most cuts - though the cushion is probably my least favourite. Having said that, I've just seen this gold-green chrysoberyl on gemselect that seems to fit my criteria (http://www.gemselect.com/chrysoberyl/chrysoberyl-353905.php). It's a little litter than I might have wanted - but it's the closest so far in hue, size and shape.
I'm an inexperienced gemstone buyer - what I know is what I've read here and on other forums, so perhaps some of you out there could let me know what you think about it re price and quality?
Also, I am planning to set it in a white-gold halo - do you think it's too lightly-colored to stand out?
Thanks for any help!
