Hello Coloured Gems''s experts :D

I am relatively new to this forum and certainly new to coloured stones! I am just wondering what gemstone site has the best selection of good quality stones?

I have been poring this forum and there are SO many yummy stones in here that I have never seen before!!!!

Ha Ha just give a few criteria to the ladies on here and BAM you will have some great selections laid in front of you..helping pick or find gems for someone is almost as fun as getting them for yourself

Hmmm can't I just have every colour of gem in every shape??

LOL kidding (i swear!)

I would like a nice peridot (my birthstone) and maybe a vivid blue gemstone (because they are SO gorgeous!).

One question, do people here mostly set their gemstones into rings? I think it would depend on the stone though right?

Budget: Flexible but I prefer cheaper smaller stones. Let's leave the big ticket stuff to future hubby!

That spinel is pretty, but I don't know that it'll really be vivid in person, I'd email and ask about a grey tone. It's also described as being pretty dark. Worth an email to find out!

For vivid and cheap, I'd think about garnet or tourmaline. baguette tourm, 5x8
 
Thanks for the tip! :)
