Pendant Project Poll

[stepcutnut]

I've been throwing around the idea of a new pendant and was hoping to get a little feedback as I keep flip flopping between stones

Option 1) Blue/Grey spinel baguette with EC Afghan tourm
Option 2) Blue/Grey spinel baguette with Pink Trill spinel triangle set
Option 3) Blue/Grey spinel baguette with Pink trill spinel set upside down

The colors are very washed out in the photo so each stone can hold it's own with the baguette and they both have alot of blue in them. The trill spinel is quit pink with blue flashes and the EC tourm is a really bright blue/green.

Option 1

Option 3

The reason I voted #1 with the tourmaline is because the colours seem to match well; neither blending nor clashing. The bright pink spinel has too much contrast to go with the gray spinel.

 

[brandy_z28]

I agree with Chrono and voted option 1 as well. The colors seem to go together a little better.

 

[geckodani]

I think the colors in option one compliment each other, and the shapes seem to flow well too!

The tourm/spinel combo was my initial fav too

 

[ma re]

Yup, another vote for #1, colors and shapes just work well together.

 

[AustenNut]

If the sapph had been the color in the vendor''s photo, it may have possibly gone well with the pink. But as it is in your pictures with the various stones, totally go with the green tourm.

 

[fierypyropixy]

Yep, #1 for me too -- the lines are similar and uniform.

 

[mousey]

I am going to buck the trend and say option 2. I really like the colour combo, and the shapes look very art deco or something together. I think it would make a lovely pendant.

 

[packrat]

#1 here too!

 

[Clio]

#1 is a very striking combination.

 

[decodelighted]

pssssst ... what about the Green Tourmaline bezel set East West & done DBY pendant style with a yellow bezel and white gold chain?

Of your original choices ... #1.

 

[Deia]

I like #2 best - the color combination is nice imo and I like the way the two shapes look together, number one just doesnt do it for me

 

[AprilBaby]

#1 would be STUNNING! The colors and the shapes go together beautifully!

Ditto!

 

[D&T]

#1 would be my first choice, but #3 if you want to go different

 

[oddoneout]

I think the shapes are very sharp and defined in option #1 so they go together better. I think the colours compliment each other too.

I voted for 1, but if the vendor pics are more true to life, 2 could actually be much prettier than I thought (voted before I read the thread). I don''t care for 3, looks too much like an arrow.

I will have to say that the stones look very much like the vendors photos-the spinel baguette is a med. blue with a little grey, the spinel trill is a med. lavender pink with lots of blue flashes(not as sleepy at the vendor pic) and the blue green tourm kind of has multiple personalities-but always very bright. I originally purchased the blue spinel baguette to set with the EC tourm, but when I saw it with the spinel trill-I really loved the colors together IRL.

 

[stepcutnut]

Thanks so much for all the votes and options Much appreciated since I have been on the fence with these stones!

SCN,
If the vendor’s pictures are accurate, then my vote is for #2 with the pink stone. #3 is too “arrow”-ish.

deco-I had actually thought of setting the tourm as you described, I have a DBTY necklace(that I do not wear much) that I thought would be lovely with the tourm-except bezeled in RG because the diamonds in the necklace are bezeled in RG as well and the chain in WG. Great minds think alike

The vendor photos are quit accurate(for some reason my camera tends to kill all blue in photos) and LOL on the arrow
