Last year I took my SIL to a gem show and she fell in love with rubellite tourmaline. I bought one a few months back to have mounted as her x-mas gift, but it's too deep to fit in any stock mountings, and not worth having a setting custom made for it. So, I went back to the drawing board and started my search over. As a replacement I found this 1.45ct oval:

I know the color will be light, but my 6ct aqua is just too big for me to have mounted, so I thought this would be a more wearable size.

I haven't purchased from this seller before, but their stones seemed a bit better cut than most of the overseas gem dealers, so for $30 for all three stones I thought I'd give them a try. Any ideas for inexpensive ring moutning for the aqua? It's 7x5mm so I should be able to get a stock mounting for it.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they're as beautiful IRL as they are in the pics you posted. I myself have been trolling ebay for some stones; just got a setting yesterday, so maybe they'll travel from Asia together. Please promise you'll post pics when you receive them. I have an emerald LOGR setting in my eBay saved file - lemme see if I can get a pic.

My camera is actually pretty good at macro shots, so I should be able to get a good comparison in different lighting conditions. I'll put the sellers name up after I decide if these are close enough to the pictures from the listing. I actually have that setting on my watch list right now!
