I''m a new dabbler into the world of colored stones, so I''d love a little input.
I recently acquired a small round padparadscha sapphire - about 5.2mm. As you can see in the attached collage, it has two smal linclusions near the girdle, though it is eyeclean in person.
Still, if I''m going to have it set, I realize that the one on the extreme edge may be able to be covered if I choose a bezel setting.
Being new to colored stones, I''m hoping for some advice. Would setting in a bezel setting affect the appearance of the color? Does it matter if pads are prong set or bezel set, especially in such a small size?
