Hello All, I am very interested in starting my colored gem collection. I am interested in purchasing Spinel gems.
In no particular order...Blue, Yellow, Hot Pink tinge of Orange combo, Spessertite, Purple/Violet. Want them set in sterling preferred or white gold.
Settings would like a bezel, and other detailed crafted type setting, art deco too. Appears most folks buy the stone then set it. Is that typical for Spinels?
Small sizes range between .30 - .72 ct.
Appears online is the best for value and selection. Looking for suggestions on specific sites to check out.
Will be buying loose stones looking for good sites that display an array of settings in sterling or white gold.
Any suggestions for jewelers in the greater Boston, Ma area would be great. Or is it more common to buy stone then ship to a jeweler to set it?
Again, want to go about this in logical way and would love any tips, suggestions for sites to buy the stones from, view settings to purchase and/or send the stone too for setting.
Figured why recreate the wheel and ask the experts!
