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!!  Image

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.  Image

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.  Image

Very cool!  How neat that you had the stones cut so they will work well together.  Image

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.

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...

I too think you should keep looking for what you really want.

If you''re not that into rounds you won''t enjoy wearing it as much as a cushion.
