Hello All,
I'm in love with purple and I love larger stones. What do you think of this Rose de France amethyst from Jeff Davies? I gasped when I saw it. Specs are14.67cts custom cut. 17.59x13.76x10.84mm Also, any feedback as to nice settings for this?
In the picture it's a pretty lighter purple color. It's definitely a nice large stone and the cutting looks nice; and I'll admit I'm partial to all things purple as well. I've only bought one stone from Jeff, and I did send him a few questions via facebook to get a better understanding of how the stone looked IRL before buying it. He sometimes has videos too, I don't see one online for this stone, but if you ask he may be able to provide one.
I think of Rose de France as paler & with more pink than that, but it doesn't matter what name you call it -- looks like a very pretty stone. If Jeff calls it Rose de France, maybe it only shows that amount of saturation in a certain light, so taking a look at it is a good idea. Rose gold or high-carat yellow gold would look great.
I agree with Jewel re the gold suggestions.....and I absolutely love the size of it!
if you decide to not go for it, please let me know..........seriously.
Thanks for all the feedback! I thought that Rose de France was lighter too. I have a ring that has the color and is much paler. I requested a video from Jeff, and he agreed to put one up a little later. I'll try to post the link when he does. A rose gold setting sounds pretty. I hope it's as striking in the video as in the picture. Keeping my fingers crossed!
remember: she who hesitates may find the stone bought out from under her......which would be a pity because I'm waiting out of respect to see what you decide which means we would both lose out! sigh...........
great!
can't wait to see how you set it!
would also make a lovely pendant/enhancer off a string of pearls.......
I hope it turns out to be just the color you're looking for!
I received my amethyst and I just wanted to come back and show you some pictures. I'm not very good at taking gemstone pictures, so please excuse any blurriness, fingerprints, etc. I love the size of it and the color! I'm very happy with this find! Now, I just have to have it set! Let me know what you think.
