Ukieza Cut Rock Total Posts: 265 Last Post: 6/5/2006 Member Since: 4/15/2005	Anyone know where someone could get 10 loose pale pink stones. I was looking for marquise (sp?) with a max length of 4 to 5mm in the longest dimension. I don't think I actually will buy any as of yet but was wondering if I wanted to do a project where I could get some. I was thinking about doing a custom ring just for a fun gift. I think pink diamonds would be too expensive but sapphire or cubic zarconian(sp?) would be fine. Sapphire better but hopefully the whole project would be under $100. Any suggestions? Ukieza

I'm just looking for suggestion of gem types. Material suggestions would be great! Ex. Sapphire, diamond, cubic zarc., etc... Thanks! Ukieza

Kaleigh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 25,918 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2004	I just saw your budget and for $100 you're going to have to go the CZ route. Pink sapphire is going to be way above $100. Unless of course you look on Ebay, but I can tell you what you see in the pics is not necessarily what you end up with. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

Upgradable Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,447 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2004	From what I've read, heat treatment is pretty standard for sapphires. It enhances color and minimizes inclusions. Do a search on "heat treating" and it should reassure you. BTW- looking forward to the resolution of your engagement ring adventure!

Ukieza Cut Rock Total Posts: 265 Last Post: 6/5/2006 Member Since: 4/15/2005	Wow, thanks for remembering. I just posted an update to my saga in the Show Me the Ring forum. I said something about "Update on custom eRing computer design" for the title. Thanks for all the help on finding these stones. The reason I want pale pink is because I bought her some jewelry already that hopefully this would match. ;-) Thanks again! Ukieza

velouriaL Ideal Rock Total Posts: 501 Last Post: 6/30/2008 Member Since: 10/21/2004	What valeria probably means is, what are you going to to do with the stones? Set them in a a necklace, ring, etc? Or just have as a collection? If you're going to make them into jewelry, it maybe better for the jeweler to source the stones his or herself. Small, matching stones like this are often easier and even cheaper to do that way.

Ukieza Cut Rock Total Posts: 265 Last Post: 6/5/2006 Member Since: 4/15/2005	Ah, I get it. I was thinking another custom ring.. But not sure yet. I'll probably have a jeweler find them for me as well but thought I'd ask what type of stones I should be looking at. ;-) Upgradable's help has been fantastic for locating pictures of things and possible prices on ebay. :-D Like I said, I'm not sure yet but I was thinking a ring. We'll see though. Maybe to too gawdy with what I was thinking for size. I have to draw something up before I get too carried away. -Ukieza

Few jeweler would give you a quot for those gem stones with mark up! I've always get my own stone and get my custom jeweler to set it - works out much cheaper!

Depends on if the gf (at that time she'll be fiance or even wife) even likes the design. She may not. Either way, if I do make the design I'll post pictures here! :-) -Ukieza
