Hi all,
It's my 30th birthday today and my parents have suggested buying me a little gift, I was all for going to the jewellery store and purchasing one until I got there and i liked an Effy ruby ring for £900... thats when I realised if they wanted to spend so much money I should really do a bit more research into it, perhaps I can find something better?
I have been snooping around on the boards and am keen on pink tourmaline! I have read in some places that it is the october birthstone (although i thought it was opal, i am not keen on opal!).
I was trying to find the preferred list of vendors for coloured stones but couldn't, so I wanted to know what you guys would recommend? I have been looking on ebay and have seen some gorgeous rings from LOGR, but am not sure on the quality etc.
I would prefer that I loved the setting and had a pretty coloured deep pink stone, I am not hugely fussy on the stone as long as it looked a beautiful colour and I love the setting. I really like the delicate halo type settings that Leon Mege creates so any suppliers you know that provide that kind of setting at a more affordable price, please let me know! Also, if anyone has come across anything similar to what I describe please also let me know!!!
Here is one for starters that I think these are very pretty, are they good buys?
