AH that is a lovely tanz. Just electric as others have said. The other stones are also very nice. But the color of the Tanz really demands all the attention. TFS!!

One PSer had a jar/dish of gems that she looked thru just to get happy! Maybe this is the beginning of your gem dish? If you like the color/find the gem interesting then keep it. |

I''d look for another Spinel if that''s the color she prefers, one that''s lighter. It''s a durable everyday wear kind of stone, which is a plus. ![]() Have fun looking!

Very cool! How neat that you had the stones cut so they will work well together. ![]() So what do you think of the zircons? Are they less sparkly than the Chrysoberyl? |

Zircon is a 7.5 on the Moh''s scale, it is fine for a ring but not for everyday wear. NOT for an ering. NOT for a daily wear ring. I too think the stone shown has a strong light on it and will be very dark IRL. HTH |

Those are just LOVELY!! Too bad that earrings are out. I''d do a ring maybe with an orange center? Or if you''re more traditional find another Dematoid or a colorless Sapphire or Zircon. That''s if a lovely diamond isn''t an option. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/ima... |
