Afghan is my favorite deposit of indicolite after the paraiba deposits of course. Very nice stone, it would pop in rose gold!!!

This is my blue tourmaline. It is near eye clean or eye clean. It has some healed fractures. I love that the fact that your tourmaline is very clean.

Just get a top notch jeweler if you're planning to bezel. Many jewelers mess up bezels and/or damage the stone in the process of bezeling.I was thinking white gold. But I’ll put it around some rose gold to see if that works better. Nice idea
My setting idea is this. I hope it doesn’t darken the stone!

Tajik spinel (1.47 carats) from WSFGems. I really wanted a true medium pink.

Thank you Junebug17 and Gemonsessed! Would you believe I noticed and loved this spinel over a year ago? I bought other gems in the meantime. I have no idea what took me so long to pull the trigger. It is one of my favorites now. There is still another one on the website. It is a little smaller and you’d have to contact the vendor to get a photo. It looks like there is something wrong with some photos on his website.

I love Barry's cutting and the ring shows it off so well. Did Julia B set the tourmaline for you? I somehow thought she did not work with outside stones.

The setting is by JuliaBJewelry and she kindly set it for me. I have bought a number of items from her so I am an established customer. Her etsy account says, "Setting your stone: there is a $50 mounting fee and you would need to sign a waiver of liability. It is at our discretion to decide which stones we feel comfortable setting."

Thank you everyone for the compliments on my pink tourmaline ring.
It is cloudy and snowing. I don't think I will get any good pictures today. I did take a near head on shot in a white box:
