So big, in fact, i don't know that i could pull it off. sorry it's the only pic i have. thoughts?

It's obvioulsy not an everyday ring but there are plenty of occasions when you could. Congrats and enjoy! ____________________________________________________________________________________ "Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one"

She thought that it was going to be used to propose and that is why she was offering it. I told my BF that i'd prefer something much more traditional and a diamond so now she would prefer to "keep" the stone. i wish i had never know about it.

albicocca Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,152 Last Post: 3/3/2008 Member Since: 10/11/2005	ohhh, I'm sorry!!! But for an engagement ring, you'd much rather have your own, so just be glad he didn't accept it and then that was ALL you were stuck with!!

(with a better color) or hey.. even a yummy swiss blue Topaz Emreald cut for about (or less than 200$).. so that is a purchase you can make for yourself down the line.

MINE!! Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,287 Last Post: 1/22/2007 Member Since: 2/25/2005	You should post this question in the Colored Stone section. Tell everyone you are looking for a swiss blue emerald cut topaz.. about 5+ carats... also search topaz in the search box.. you will come up with a bunch of info.

Do you have any suggestions about where to find such a lovely? I bought a bunch of stones for a few dollars (like $5.00-$20.00 each) on eBay, then asked Juan Lozano in Mexico to set them. They are EXACTLY the style I wanted and did not cost an arm and a leg! I will post a photo of them. Storm now has a rhodolite garnet I bought on eBay, although I think that one was more than $20.00. :-) Deb A Girl's Best Friend

The topaz costs so little that you could buy it instead of a Starbucks fancy coffee one day. (Just don't drink it!) Deb A Girl's Best Friend

How are you getting your rhodolite set? I am sorry to have been confusing. Thank the Lord that we were discussing colored stones, not politics or we might have had words!!! I was unclear. I bought these stones as well as some others on eBay. From a lot of different vendors at different times. I really thought that four identical rings was enough for me, so some stones remain unset! I set one red Mexican fire opal and I have another one. I also had a rhodolite. Ages ago I promised it to whoever helped me to design the setting I chose for my red spinel. The red spinel was designed and made, but I never gave anyone the rhodolite as I had promised. (I had moved from Connecticut to Virginia and my belongings were in disarray. I also did not use the design of any one person helping me.) Since the Pricescope community had helped me, I wanted to give someone the rhodolite as I had promised. I posted that I would give it to the first person who had contributed to my thread about designing a spinel ring and who said he wanted it. I PMed all the people who fit that category at the same time. Storm said he wanted it, so I sent it to him. It was NOT some highly precious gem, and I do not think Storm is going to set it. This is a lot of to do about nothing. I didn't give anyone a Mogok ruby! (I wish I had one!) Deb A Girl's Best Friend

I hope other people who are looking for inexpensive stones will take advantage of eBay as I have been able to. I still always study a vendor's feedback, even when my purchase is small, however! ...and if LLL can buy a huge blue topaz on eBay, I hope she lets us know! Deb A Girl's Best Friend

This is a large, light blue stone that could have the look of that aquamarine with which your FMIL tempted you! Deb A Girl's Best Friend
