But the sapphire will be more durable. So I guess it depends on your budget and purpose for the ring. If I were spending a lot on a setting, I'd go for sapphire. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

(that's why I luv PS) would have taken me hours to discover this. LS - don't know much about spinels but they sure look great! My project - a pink cushion cut stone prong set w/ channel or pave set diamonds in plat. like the novo.

Arrgh.....FlyGirl, you caught me! I do still want a fancy but where, who, how? Yes guess I'm rationalizing and being practical . Did you read the RT post by Diagem and J.Lo's Pink Diamond from BA? WOW a 6.10 ct. "orangey" intense pink!

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	My personal feeling is that if I am spending thousands on a platinum and diamond setting, I want a durable stone, and that would mean sapphire with spinel being second. Obviously there are some special very expensive stones that would be exceptions such as paraiba tourmaline or tsavorite garnet, but for the most part, I wouldn't put a $300 stone in a $3000 platinum setting. But that's just me! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

But that's just me! Diamondseeker again I appreciate the advice. How is a tourmaline less "durable" I mean will it chip or crack? And as for the Paraiba, this intrigues me but I don't know where to start figuring out the subtlties. I'm open to any stone that has a great pinkish/fleshy color. And then there is the issues with finding the right cushion cut - ugh! (1 ct. or a little over) I like a middle ground between "crushed ice" and geometric angled stones - Help!
