My work did this for her so she could see different colors in a platinum setting with two side bands. Are sets are very different but thought this was cool and wanted to share :) WOOO She went with a blue Zircon but I am loving the new looks ****** Live Life, Love Someone and Laugh Everyday****** WOOO

FireGoddess Ideal Rock Total Posts: 12,145 Last Post: 3/23/2009 Member Since: 1/25/2005	I love the two on the top row right, the blue zircon and garnet equivalents (to my eye at least). Tell me about it - I do wish I could pop my stone into and out of different settings as well as interchange stones!!

movie zombie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,222 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 1/20/2005	i, too, think the tanz is too light, but i like the stones on either side of the middle one that MJO likes! that is a rather dark amethyst......would have to see it in person. movie zombie "I don't feel enjoyment watching films that evoke passivity.

lookingood35 Cut Rock Total Posts: 246 Last Post: 7/23/2009 Member Since: 4/1/2006	Question: When choosing a color center stone, will have to consider the hardness of the stone? Can I just go with the color of my choice? Lookingood "I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back." Funny Quotation by Zsa Zsa Gabor

movie zombie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,222 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 1/20/2005	its not just the hardness of the stone....its also some other issues: emerald is 'hard' but shatters easily.....and the reason its not usually used as a center stone e-ring. however, some stones if set with a bezel or other protection, will do just fine. much depends on how you plan to set the stone. movie zombie eta: there is as much to consider when purchasing a color stone as there is when purchasing a diamond....actually, i think more knowledge is required to purchase a good quality color stone. pick a color and then research the stones in that color. find out the moh and whether there are problems re cleavage. will the setting you want to use require heating and will your stone take that heat. every stone is going to have a tradeoff. only you can decide which tradeoff you're willing to make. 2nd eta: i would love to see that ring set with a really red garnet [not red/bround] or spinel or a spessarite garnet!

VRBeauty Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,605 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/3/2006	There are a lot of angles and shapes in that setting even without the center stone. To me it looks like a round center stone just adds another element and makes the whole thing too "busy." I like the square cushion and the marquis-shaped stones -- the marquis especially seem to tie the whole package together nicely. In the pictures it also looks like the real light stones colored stones don't hold their own against that setting very well; I think it needs a medium or dark stone. My 2 cents worth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VRBeauty Thursday is the new Friday.
