They look to be cabochon like stones but not totally I like the Rubellite peridot lemon quartz chrysoprase aquamarine well really the whole dang lot. It as if they are unfaceted but not quite a cabochon. Who would be my best bet?

AJS or multicolour are probably two good places to start looking. _____________________________________________________ Kismet's rings

Depends on the quality you are looking for. I was just about to say that. They are pretty close, though smaller I think. And that first stone is ridiculously included! What is it supposed to be?

Even with the inclusions, it's just a cool look. But, I do have to say--I'd never guess that they were tiffany! Just a new look compared to a lot of their more classic stuff, I guess. Call me crazy

katebar Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,489 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 1/20/2006	Thanks everybody. I kind of like the included look it makes them more modern and edgy IMO. But they are hideously expensive about 1800 or more for the rubellite I think. Thanks for heads up on sites I will be spending my Easter looking (We have a 4 day break here so happy days!)

Personally I like some inclusions, such as in the rubellite I bought - but the Tiff's prices are a joke, demonstrated by the fact that my cab was ~$30US. Then have the setting made, maybe $90 from Sally or another etsy seller = $120USD. I have no idea how they would get to $1800 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran
